Hi John, if I don't need to remind you, you might want to respond to Platt's "narrative" point yourself.
You're obviously having a little fun John, so I won't spoil it by pointing that how the cosmic / quantum story goes is not entirely a matter of choice - That would be to fall into the relativist trap. And as Dave also points out navigating PoMo waters is a dangerous business, steering between Scylla and Charybdis. Nice trick if you can pull it off, terminal if you can't. BTW Dave - be interesting if you could unpick that distinction between uniting and equalizing those three domains ?
