1 | philosophy | ||
2 | importance | ||
3 | is | ||
4 | important | ||
5 | but | ||
6 | meaning | ||
7 | is | ||
8 | meaningful | ||
9 | here | ||
10 | we | ||
11 | are | ||
12 | at | ||
13 | the | ||
14 | crux | ||
15 | of | ||
16 | the | ||
17 | matter | ||
18 | for | ||
19 | both | ||
20 | meaning | ||
21 | and | ||
22 | importance | ||
23 | are | ||
24 | also | ||
25 | human-formed | ||
26 | so | ||
27 | it | ||
28 | would | ||
29 | seem | ||
30 | that | ||
31 | nothing | ||
32 | is | ||
33 | important | ||
34 | or | ||
35 | meaningful | ||

43 | only | ||
44 | products | ||

47 | fallible | ||

51 | here | ||
52 | is | ||
53 | the | ||
54 | great | ||
55 | secret | ||
56 | so | ||
57 | is | ||
58 | the | ||
59 | fallibility | ||
60 | of | ||
61 | the | ||
62 | human | ||

70 | human | ||

72 | the | ||
73 | question | ||
74 | here | ||
75 | arises | ||
76 | is | ||
77 | anything | ||
78 | real | ||
79 | and | ||
80 | not | ||
81 | a | ||

83 | invention | ||
84 | of | ||
85 | a | ||
86 | mistaken | ||
87 | human | ||
88 | mind | ||
89 | by | ||
90 | real | ||
91 | of | ||
92 | course | ||
93 | i | ||
94 | mean | ||
95 | that | ||
96 | which | ||
97 | is | ||
98 | on | ||
99 | its | ||
100 | own | ||
101 | terms | ||

103 | is | ||
104 | without | ||

110 | of | ||
111 | mankind | ||
112 | by | ||
113 | observing | ||
114 | it | ||

116 | such | ||
117 | a | ||
118 | thing | ||
119 | is | ||
120 | impossible | ||
121 | to | ||
122 | be | ||

125 | if | ||
126 | it | ||
127 | be | ||
128 | known | ||
129 | it | ||
130 | has | ||
131 | certainly | ||
132 | been | ||
133 | observed | ||
134 | by | ||
135 | someone | ||
136 | and | ||
137 | so | ||
138 | it | ||
139 | is | ||
140 | not | ||
141 | on | ||
142 | its | ||
143 | own | ||
144 | terms | ||
145 | but | ||
146 | on | ||
147 | the | ||
148 | terms | ||
149 | of | ||
150 | the | ||
151 | observer | ||
152 | so | ||
153 | it | ||
154 | cannot | ||
155 | be | ||
156 | known | ||
157 | if | ||
158 | anything | ||
159 | exists | ||
160 | on | ||

174 | not | ||
175 | know | ||
176 | anything | ||
177 | about | ||
178 | it | ||
179 | by | ||
180 | this | ||
181 | it | ||
182 | is | ||
183 | possible | ||
184 | to | ||
185 | see | ||
186 | that | ||
187 | nothing | ||
188 | is | ||
189 | knowable | ||
190 | without | ||
191 | the | ||

193 | factor | ||

195 | our | ||
196 | mind | ||
197 | fucking | ||
198 | up | ||
199 | the | ||
200 | raw | ||
201 | the | ||
202 | real | ||
203 | world | ||
204 | but | ||
205 | by | ||
206 | this | ||
207 | time | ||
208 | it | ||
209 | would | ||
210 | seem | ||
211 | that | ||
212 | this | ||
213 | chapter | ||
214 | is | ||
215 | far | ||
216 | far | ||
217 | too | ||
218 | philosophical | ||
219 | not | ||
220 | to | ||
221 | mention | ||
222 | pretentious | ||
223 | so | ||
224 | i | ||
225 | must | ||
226 | try | ||
227 | again | ||
