Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.
It really is a nice theory. The only defect I think it has is probably common to all philosophical theories. It's wrong.
I have a theory... that someplace at the heart of most compelling stories is something that doesn't make sense.
If you ask almost any of them, 'Do you stand behind your theory? Is this the answer?' I think almost everyone would say, 'No, no, no. I'm just trying to expand the range of possibilities.' We really don't know what's going on.
There can be theory but, you know, the problem is you've got to be able to test it. So theories are one thing, testing is another.
A theory must be tempered with reality.
No theory changes what it is a theory about; man remains what he has always been.
Theories, for me, are just about freeing your mind. It doesn't mean the theory is going to work like a scientific theory works. It's about freeing your mind and making you think a different way.
You know very well that unless you're a scientist, it's much more important for a theory to be shapely, than for it to be true.
I'm not sure what theory is, unless it's the pursuit of fundamental questions.
