And so when we DO stick to a one-universe-educated-guess anyway, that probably means that simpler states without self-aware beings or something like that are not possible. But that again warrants some sort of further explanation, what is needed for the universe to be possible exactly?

Conformity to logic makes judgments possibly believable but not necessarily true. Logic is a wonderful tool of demagogues.
Strictly speaking, I think that there are no truly illogical things in this world at all, because in principle there is nothing that does not come from nothing. If something seems illogical, it is most likely because there is a lack of knowledge about some facts.

About philosophizing. I had to hear an interesting opinion that it is intellectual masturbation. :)

Words as a tool can be used in the most unimaginable ways.
Of course, you can try to find the truth, but you can also try to hide it. Truth is often sacrificed when defending one's point of view.
It’s good read to someone stating that logic is not truth

discussions (focused on establishing the truth), disputes (focused on winning the argument)

It is still not clear to me which is more important truth or victory ?
