Insights of a Madman by Robin R. Rabii

Some people believe the pursuit of the unfathomable, philosophic, and unanswerable questions about our existence and purpose for being is reserved for lost souls who suffer from an acute psychological infirmity… and I agree with them. Only the ill-minded, the arrogant, or those with nefarious intentions would believe they could solve the mysteries surrounding whom or what created us and this construct we call the universe, and for what reasons.

It celebrates interpretations of the unknowable from the perspective of people without professional or specialized knowledge, the plain folks who dare to combine their limited understanding of science, non-ordained religious acumen, morsels of common sense, and a dosage of their own intuition to penetrate the inexplicable and develop intuitively discriminating answers for modern-day minds.
