Neither do I. So you are a TOE reductionist (maybe the name isn't very good, I've just invented it) which is someone that believes that the power of the TOE is reduced. But although I agree in this case, I don't in most, because you have chosen especifically the hardest thing to do, which has actually been done for the last time a long time ago, now it's impossible in a general worldwide scale: change the religious believes. But if we take any other kind of believe, the are definatelly less hard on one's mind. And the TOE will make a huge impact on society, jsut as have all great ideas and theories done in physics and philosophy since cartesian rationalism to quantum mechanics.
