In the song he presented in December, he introduced it by explaining the thing about asking “why” is that it presumes there is an answer. It’s like when people say if God made everything, then who made God? The thing is, a lot of people can’t consider a Godless world, it doesn’t compute, it short circuits what they take as their purpose in life – to say nothing of the inherent insult to their one on one relationship with the big cheese, which they also don’t recognize as the same for everybody else on the same bus. So my point in the song is just to underline the inherent vulnerabilities of expecting “why” to solve things. There’s a part two, which is harder to explain but here goes. There’s a space we sometimes occupy that isn’t about logic, that isn’t about either or, yes no, right wrong – that isn’t about binary thinking and that’s the place where you can really enjoy dropping “why” as a strategy and perhaps experience a more profound understanding of what’s going on. Did I lose you? The whole class nodded in agreement. Maybe I should just play it.

Facts are just facts. Much of what we take as personal isn’t and much of what is we fail to see. Why argue for or against gravity. It’s just a fact.
