   I don't! =D Accepting that we do not know is a perfectly valid option. As   
   long as there is no empirical proof, we are perfectly entitled to making   
   no pronouncements or come up with no explanations at all.   
      
   Maybe I misunderstand you?   
      
   When no empirical feedback loops exist, I reject epistemic closure as well   
   as the principle of bivalence.
