In his latest work, Steve Hagen delves into the core strengths, assumptions, and limitations of religion, belief, philosophy, science, and technology. He explores the profound question of why there is Something rather than Nothing, approaching it from a fresh and largely uncharted perspective. Through a thought-provoking blend of examples from various fields, including physics, philosophy, and neuroscience, Hagen engages in a Socratic dialogue with a character named "ANYONE," offering new insights into enduring questions such as the nature of existence, the concept of mind, the essence of measurement, and the definition of motion. Layer by layer, he scrutinizes the questions we pose, the methods we employ, and the beliefs we hold, revealing how these factors can distance us from the answers we seek. Drawing on a diverse array of thinkers, from Richard Feynman to Emily Dickinson, Hagen ultimately uncovers a singular error at the root of these fundamental inquiries: a Grand Delusion. This exploration encourages readers to transcend this delusion, leading to insights that can address long-standing and complex questions.
