《河平》River of Peace
《河平》
烈風虐海浪初翻，
細雨濡河水自清。
強者以威終致反，
弱者以柔終致平。

Explanatory Power vs Baseless Assertions
You are conflating explanation with assertion.
Anyone can posit baseless assertions that hypothetically account for things, but that doesn't mean they have explained those things. Explanations are not baseless. Explanations incorporate data. They provide a mechanistic understanding for predicting the outputs of a system.
Physicalism is not baseless. Physicalism incorporates data. Physicalism provides a mechanistic understanding for predicting outputs of systems. Physicalism explains 99.99% of our reality.
Idealism is baseless. Idealism does not incorporate data, it just asserts things arbitrarily. Idealism does not provide any mechanistic understanding of why things are the way they are for predictive purposes. Idealism explains 0% of our reality.
When choosing between metaphysical theories, explanatory power is the primary epistemic virtue. Simplicity only becomes relevant after explanatory power has been maximized.
Physicalism outperforms idealism in explanatory power. It underpins our most successful predictive and practical frameworks—from physics and biology to engineering and medicine. Until idealism…

Dual Aspect Theory of Pasta
If we’re conflating explanations with mere assertions, then I can explain reality even better than idealism—with Pastafarianism.
Don’t scoff. The Flying Spaghetti Monster isn’t just a myth. Haven’t you studied quantum physics? Every quantum wave function is a manifestation of the Spaghetti Monster’s noodly appendages—microscopic units of spaghetti scattered across the universe.
He is in all things and through all things. His fields penetrate all. All things are pasta.
Just as quantum fields are indeterminate within and determinate without, the Spaghetti Monster is mental within and material without.
This is the Dual Aspect Theory of Pasta.
With Pastafarian Dual Aspect Theory, we can "predict" that:

Sources of Themes of the Book of Abraham
2/19/2025 - Steven and I filmed a podcast reviewing issues for and against the divinity of the Book of Abraham: https://www.youtube.com/live/Z7PXg7boFoM?si=NavLKHd6o82areYI

Steven's Blog Link: The Many Contradictions of The Book of Abraham: https://stevesmilanich.wixsite.com/thissaintstheory/post/the-many-contradictions-of-the-book-of-abraham
One of Steven's most interesting arguments was based on an array of themes and details found within the Book of Abraham that seem to correspond to details found in other texts written about Abraham. It would be curious why different Abrahamic texts would agree if there wasn't some mutual connection or valid truth behind them.
