I don't think they should change just for the heck of it, I believe 2+2=4 because it's true not because 20 minutes from now it might not.

That's self-contradiction, how could in both, yet not believe in anything?
And I say I dont believe in anything because I believe in everything so its just stupid to highlight one belief over another,(unless your making a point that relates to that belief)
I prefer to tell stories and then the listener can take away whatever insights they want. Telling stories is way better than preaching because it is not dogmatic and self-righteous. People have a chance of 'opening up' when they are not pressured into making their beliefs conform with others beliefs.
I suspect this life we are all partaking in is a prelude to a much greater and stranger life.

God is the biggest paradox of them all.
We must approach this with great humility.
How is the universe not a paradox? (remember the earth is not flat, the sky is not blue)

• a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true : in a paradox, he has discovered that stepping back from his job has increased the rewards he gleans from it.
• a situation, person, or thing that combines contradictory features or qualities : an Arizona canyon where the mingling of deciduous trees with desertic elements of flora forms a fascinating ecological paradox. The sky is blue.

I am a Buddhist but I think stories like this are drivel and a waste of time and has little or nothing to do with Buddhism
Any good news?

Hello Black Beetle. This is Erik - Graham's editor. No good news at the moment.
It 's just because the material is advanced, out of the box and genuine. Maybe it 's necessary to have it at first circulated paper by paper at a scientific edition, and then bring it home as a whole. But one way or another the good news will soon evolve I reckon😵
