Great day. Two profound insights. I am so happy that I understand it all that I almost don’t care if anyone else does. 🙂 But that would be too selfish. Immoral even.

What is left really? I’m going through it. The list. Metaphysics, Truth, Epistemology, Ethics, Economics, Politics, Aesthetics? Is there anything left that I don’t understand yet? I suppose there is always room for improvement. I suppose I can always expand application. So i suppose there really is no end to it. But I at least THINK i’ve completed my attempt to understand how we westerners were vulnerable to pseudoscientific mysticism, why our civilization collapses, how to articulate our history, and how to defend against future assaults on it by empty verbalism masquerading as truth.

I guess there are a few economic problems that I don’t understand. I am not confident yet that the inflation question is controllable, and insurance maintainable under the various MMT schemes. I am not even sure I can solve that myself. Maybe I don’t need to. Maybe just stating it at this point is the best we can do.

I guess, I don’t see anything necessarily wrong with german philosophy other than it’s all a desperate attempt to restore the authority of the church. But while it’s untrue, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily bad in its application. I suppose I should clarify my position on Germany (Sparta) a bit if I’m going to pose this argument as a tale of three cultures.

When I first came to this resort I was pretty frustrated that I couldn’t put these last few bits together, but I managed anyway – even though I felt off kilter most of the time we have been here.

So maybe I need to just ruminate a bit, go through the TOC and see what I still am not comfortable with.

Then I’m sure I”ll find some hole or other. I always seem to. Although I’m a little lost right now as to where to start looking…..

Humans are really fascinating.
