Yes. It is what it is. I was attempting to make a metaphor between that kind of problem the mind poses, as a subject that isn’t very measurable, and the troubles the physical sciences have at the extreme scales (small and large). The weird thing about social science to me is that, well, the thing that we’re trying to measure and study is the thing doing the measuring and the studying. We are the mystery that social sciences try to study. So, we all have one, up-close, and firsthand account of it. It’s just hard to make a objective study of it beyond that.
