I like that framing. Yes. Pursuit of a truth. Nice.

ALex,
You are not very good at this.
1. As far as we know, all knowledge is the result of experience. And I don’t know of anyone who undersetands the neuroscience in this matter better than I do.
2. Metaphysical presumptions are only truth if they are consistent and correspondent with physical truths.
3. Otherwise they are not truths they are biases or preferences.
4. We discover gradual improvements of our knowledge of pramatic truth toward ideal truth by adversarial competition (observation, listening, discussion, debate, argument, suit, and trial and error) – not by reason alone, or by individual presumption or supernatural cause. But by observation of success and failure.
Instead, what you mean is that we can construct narratives and try to live inside those narratives to compensate for our lack of knowledge (ignoranc) and ability (competency) and mindfulness (ability to suppress neuroticism) as populations increase, the division of knowledge and labor increases, and we are possessed of less and less knowledge of the world around us, less agency in it, greater dependence upon it, and greater alienation from one another within it – stoking neuroticism that generates demand for such comforting (theraputic) narratives.

PERFORMATIVE TRUTH VS IDEAL TRUTH
Performative (Real) Truth can and must only mean testimony that as been subject to due diligence and is unambiguous, consistent, correspondent, and coherent under the constraints of naturalism – meaning it is sufficient for the provision of decidabilty within the limits of tolerable fallibility (infallibility) and therefore liabilty, in the context in question – acknowledging that we are possessed of imperfect knowledge and imperfect ability.
Ideal truth is that same testimony we would give if we were possessed of perfect knowledge and perfect ability – which we may strive for but only over long periods achieve.
While he understood the problem, understood how the greeks solved it, Nietzche failed in his mission at either restoration or innovation. Ih this example, a cockroach is a threat and a butterfly is an opportunity. There is nothing aesthetic (relative) about it other than our knowledge of understanding of risk and reward.

Thank you for the clarification. I didn’t make the connection and was puzzled. lol

I”m aware of that and I assume the audience understands but yes I could have clarified. 😉

–“It’s crazy to think the Egyptians carved on granite thousands of years ago”–
Not when you understand what harder rocks, heat, sand, and acid do to rock. 😉
If you learn to sculpt it will include a pointed chisel and a rake chisel. a very hard rock on a slightly softer rock (granite) will produce small predictable indentations just like a pointed steel chisel. A steel, iron, bronze, copper alloy, copper, or rock chisel differ only in the size and rate of removal. On the other hand it’s actually easier and takes less skill to just have a rock hammer with a rounded and not overly large end, on the end of a handle to just rapidly tap divots into the stone. And because you’re taking off consistent bits of stone (pulverizing it really), from a consistent material, it’s relatively eays and NOT difficult. it’s just time consuming and the ancient egyptians had food and population and time. 😉
If you want to pull stone from a quarry, you just build little fires and then hit it with a rock and you pull out regular but larger segments of stone.
If you want to drill a hole in stone you create a bronze or copper sheet, fold it into a round tube, pour in sand (or a tiny aggregate of a harder stone) and water, (or oil) and then use a rope back and fort to drill. It takes three or five men but it’s not complicated, and it’s a lot faster than you’d think.
If you want to finish stone you can use both sand ‘sand leather or sand cloth’. And if you happen to have access to a mine where acids form, you can use that too (south american in particular).
We forget sometimes these people were just coming out of the stone age and their undestanding of rock was culturally deep.
Just as contemporary art is largely sh*t because we can’t afford to put time into it – ancient art is great because EMPIRES could afford to put human time and effort into it.
It really is that simple.
ps: What’s older? The pyramids or stonehenge? Stonehenge is older than the pyramids. Stonehenge was erected around 3100 BC, while the first pyramid was built around 2600 BC. Though what we see today was erected about contemporaneously with the pyramids. And gobekli tepe is much older at around 10,000BC

–“Q: Curt what are your thoughts on the positive impact of women on society, say, as expressed in the image of Madonna and child (Isis and Horus, Mary and Christ etc),”–
1. Humans are superpredators.
2. But we are also social because of the distproportionate value of cooperation – even indirect cooperation.
3. So we all seek signals of non-aggression almost first before all other signals.
4. Women specialize in signals of non aggression
Despite that women aggress via interpersonal and social warfare – it’s at least not physical and immediate even if it is cumulatively just as harmful.
5. Beauty is the presence of resources – that’s all. We tend to prefer a presence of resources created by the hand of man. And the demadn for truth and beauty is a demand for extra effort when producing commons.
6. Women promise both non aggression a presence of resources not the least of which are care and reproduction.
“Men are a threat and women are an opportunity”
So in the arts we use these symbols of women to identify and promote the status of non aggression and resources which are essentially peace offerings: plenty.
Religions consist of systematizing signals of non aggression, to limit conflict, alienation, and the mental instability of neuroticism as populations increase and our individual ‘value’ to others decreases.
So Religions use the feminine just as the State (military and politics) use the masculine: scarcity.
It’s just physics at play at scale. And it’s so obvious that we want to find more to it than that.
Cheers.
