😊 Perhaps better.... All posited (so far) scientific TOE are actually wrongly named. They would be correctly named:
"Theories predicting how the universe appears to an assumed scientific observer inside it" Or maybe "Theories of everything except the scientific observer" By Scientific observer I mean consciousness... What scientific observation uses/is. >From here you might ask yourself what a scientist would be doing if they >_were_ explaining the scientific observer (consciousness). For whatever that >is, it's not a member of the set of the kind of science outcomes in which >these so-called TOE sit, smugly claiming everything while actually failing >without realizing.
