Mind you, I tend to be a constructiveness about nature, too. I've read too much Kant and Heidegger, I suppose. In a nutshell (and it'll sound loonier than it really is), all things are created by the human mind. There are no things "out there". There's no "there" out there.

"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
