Intuitionism
I have liked intuitionism from the very moment I first heard about it.<p>I often entertain the idea that all the patterns we observe are merely things that match our capability of understanding.  This could explain the &quot;unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences&quot;.<p>It may also help to guide us away from the &quot;why is there something rather than nothing&quot; problem.  If existence is total chaos, then we as humans could be limited to the hyperplane of our own observable patterns, which fools us into thinking there is some inherent order -- which there isn&#x27;t.  This leaves us with &quot;why is there chaos rather than nothing&quot;, so I doubt it&#x27;s of any help :)<p>Great ideas to ponder, but rather hard to reason about.<p>(Edit: To avoid thinking that I&#x27;m a crackpot, with &quot;capability of understanding&quot;, I am referring to the physical processes that lead to the existence and dynamics of neurons, not to the platonic world of ideas on top of that.  If someone could point out how unoriginal or nonsensical this idea is, it would save me from writing a blog post about it.)
