Jonathan Lee, MD, PhD (@ jonlee112) designed Decompositionism to examine fundamental questions such as:

• What is truth? What is reality? How do we know what we know? How do our brains/minds learn?
• What actually exists in the universe?
• What do we mean by the words, phrases, and concepts that we invoke in daily life?
• What is right vs. wrong? What are our moral obligations?
• What is good vs. bad?
• What is the meaning of life? What is the point of life? What is the purpose of life?
• Does free will exist?
