Exactly. The singers are looking out at the world. They don't know how it works, but it's awesome. To them, reducing the mystery through science makes it less miraculous. But, they are mistaken.

As Feynman said, "It does not do harm to the mystery to know a little more about it. For far more marvelous is the truth than any artists of the past imagined it."




I agree and refer to my statement of Shaggy's, in my opinion and observation, "demonstrated and consciously limited, yet poignant, understanding of the nature of reality."

I refer to an interview the gave thus: http://www.clownvid.com/etc-2010/2011/3/15/insane-clown-poss... (shameless plug)

In that interview, Violent J (one half of the Insane Clown Posse) verbally pointed out my statement when he is offered a book that, in the interviewer's mind, would answer the question: "Fuckin' magnets, how do they work!?"

They are aware of the scientific observations, and presumably agree to the validity, yet they, for reason of their own merit, justly decide not to indulge.

I would make a selfish request, not to take away from their proven and successful prowess, that they educate themself, if for anything, to spite the haternation. I am in Love with Insane Clown Posse, and would not prove it otherwise.

Holla!
