Great article.

I've come to believe that we are living in a collaborative work of art.

The designer of this world gave it aspects of great uniformity - rules of the road we can rely on as we come to know them, the same way a video game has rules. BUT...

I think the designer also created room for irregularity in order to make the world more interesting. Magic and psy powers work some time, but not all the time. And some of the creatures in our realm can phase in and out, leaving us wondering if they really exist. The purpose is entertainment I think. Likewise with good and evil. It creates conflict that we enjoy in our lives for the same reason we enjoy it in sports or fiction.
