The Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR)

1. If x exists, there's a sufficient explanation why x exists.
2. If e happens, there's a sufficient explanation why e happens.
3. If p is true, there's a sufficient explanation why p is true.

1. Nothing exists.

2. Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it.

3. Even if something can be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others.

4. Even if it can be communicated, it cannot be understood.
