“When Hall read the minds of younger generations, these often proved to be the most alarming of all. Many of their thoughts were increasingly scattered, selfish, judgmental, and inflexible. They tended to see everyone as being either a victim or an oppressor. Many seemed to have an insatiable, repulsive need for social acceptance at all costs. These generations had become more and more narcissistic, neurotic, lazy, and confused, and dependence on the web had turned their minds into lightning rods for brainwashers.”

“Basically, this is a rigorous analysis that shows that numerous universal constants—like the force of gravity, the weight of a proton, the force that binds protons and neutrons within atomic nuclei, and so on—have to be almost exactly what they are for life to exist in the universe.

Theologians believe God is the answer. Scientists were initially stumped but soon declared that this riddle was easily answered if one posited an infinite number of universes.
