(kind of obvious, but) 

When we look around the universe, we find that among all the particles, molecules, bonds, sun-drenched combinations of generous helpings of various bonds, Italian dishes, metaphysical&liquid combinations of various bonds, French wines, objects (you won't go far without metaphysics, will you?), groups, groupings, political parities, mafias, cliques, coteries, gangs, POs, PSLs, systems, tax systems (inlc.the rare human ones and the popular inhuman ones), meta-systems, meta meta-systems, universals, meta universals, meta meta-universals, systems of universals, meta-systems of universals, meta meta-systems of universals something stands out: the person. No other body beats the person, no other thing compares to the person.

So there is one inescapable conclusion, which is the mother of all philosophical conclusions: the person is the daddy of the universe.









(The exegesis of Nothing Compares 2U is rather obvious and every person gets it, U2, don't you?, but anyway:

...

Nothing ...I said nothing 

can take away these blues (i.e. Weltschmertz)
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to you

...
I went to the doctor (i.e. Naturalists, Materialists, Reductionist; there may be a slim chance for some functionalists if they get the function right)
Guess what he told me?
He said, girl, you better try to have fun
No matter what you do
But he's a fool ...
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to you ...

I'm still working on the opening 'seven hours and fifteen days')
