What is the world made of? Some say it’s made of hard little bits that have no color; some say it’s made of number stuff; some say it’s made of mind stuff; some say it’s made of stuff that we can’t know anything about. A well known guy with a last name that sounds like fill and who thought we should always make everyone as happy as we can said that the world is made of chances for it to seem like there are things like rocks, tables, stars, and so on. If he’s right, then a rock is made of chances for it to seem like there’s a rock. I think that’s pretty much true, and that’s what I write about.
