First, let me say that I like you and consider it a privilege to have
friends and acquaintances who are so thoughtful and full of integrity. That
being said, you are understandably infatuated with your first
self-consistent worldview that seems to explain everything. In my
experience, regardless of what words of wisdom I contribute to you, your
infatuation, like infatuation with a pretty girl, will last from two to 18
months.
When you discover that you are ready to grow to the next level, consider
that all the axioms, measurements, truths, and laws that you now believe
are good approximations that focus one particular pair of binoculars on
this thing we call reality. You may be surprised to discover that other
views produce equally interesting experiences. You are not wrong by any
means, yet there are other rights.

I actually am more of a fan of engineers than scientists. More has been
accomplished with the kluge than can ever hope to be created by pure,
beautiful theory.
