Okay, so for starters, I have a lot of ambition. And this obviously is going to be obvious with how far I'm going to try to go in explaining the world. But this philosophy is very much subject to change and additions I might make from time to time, as I learn and develop my thought, and mature. After all, one of my worst enemies (Marx), has two versions of his philosophy, one from before he became an alcoholic, and one after. So, enough talking, let's start with this. You want answers? I've got answers alright. I''l structure this kinda like my notes on my philosophy class.
Let's start by the thing we can suppose is real. We feel there is a physical world, and it is independent from us. WHen we aren't seeing, it is still there, and you can see the changes made when you are not there,, which means it must be "real". The problem is, and this is the first realization we got to make, is that in the world that we feel, there are no natural names, there is no way to verify our thoughts are real if we forget about the rest of humanity. But, if so, it means you can't actually name it, you can't actually think about it, because it has no intrinsic name, and to think it, we need to name it. This gets us our first two characteristics of the outside world.
FIRST: The outside reality does not have concepts.
SECOND: You cannot know what the outside reality is without concepts.
Following me? Great. The thing is, this sets up another conclusion. Since there are no concepts, no names, it means there are no lines in the outside reality. There's no difference between a seed and a tree if there are no definitions, no concepts, no names. Which means:
THIRD: We can't define the outside reality.
Now, you might be asking: "If we can't name it, define it, or set concepts, what is it then?". And I would answer "Thanks for your question, you illuminated swine. The outside reality just is.". And you would be like "Is what?". And I would answer, frustrated "NO. It just is. It is. That's all we know". And metaphorical Alex is right! The outside reality just is, it doesn't exist as we know it because the concept of existing is not fully defined. When I mean that it just "Is", I mean that it has no adjectives, no meaning. It's not equal to anything, it's just an empty equal sign Yeah,, it "is" "there", but "is" and "there" are not defined.
FOURTH: The outside reality is.
You see what is happening? The more I try to explain it,, the more complicated the explanation becomes. And that's because of the second characteristic we defined. It's like explaining emotions with maths, the more you try to predict it, the more values you need. To actually explain the outside reality, we shouldn't use concepts, but the problem is that you literally can't think without concepts, so the more you try to explain it with concepts, the less you can't explain it. The only way to describe the outside reality, silence and it's only true definition: " ". Giving the outside reality a name, is almost an insult.
So, now, my beautiful reader, you may be asking the why of the division of reality in two. Well, let's first
Truth, for me, is like a broken mirror. Everyone's carrying a shard and pretending it’s the whole thing.
People are both horrifying and beautiful. I oscillate between "let's burn it all down" and "maybe there's still something worth saving."
I’m not sure meaning is real. But I'm very sure pretending it is gives me enough momentum to get through most days.
This will change. Or not. It depends on what I read next week, or what ruins my day.
