The document discusses the author's past unhappiness with science as they thought it would be easier if science wasn't real, though they now realize science can't explain everything away. While the evidence from science seems strong, it won't solve all the author's problems and may make some worse, so it's better to accept issues and move on. However, the author would miss science so there remains a conflict between accepting problems and continuing to engage with science.

So why did science make me feel so unhappy for so long?
I don’t know, but it’s
probably because I thought it would be easier if it wasn’t real. I guess it wasn’t. Well, anyway, that’s my problem now. Now I have discovered that there’s nothing that science can ever explain away. And it doesn’t matter how many times the evidence seems obvious or strong. I still don’t think science will solve all my problems. In fact, science may only make them worse. But that’s okay. Maybe it’s better to just accept my problem and move on with life. But then I would really miss the science. Which reminds me...what’s with science
