-Importance is important.  But meaning is meaningful.  Here we are at the
-crux of the matter, for both meaning and importance are also
-human-formed.  So it would seem that nothing is important or meaningful,
-if importance and meaning are of themselves only products of the
-fallible human intellect.  But here is the great secret: *so is the
-fallibility of the human intellect a mere product of the fallible human
-intellect.* The question here arises: Is anything real, and not a mere
-invention of a mistaken human mind?  By real of course I mean
-"that which is *on its own terms*," that is, without any [modification][] on
-the part of mankind by observing it.  But such a thing is impossible to
-be known, for if it be known it has certainly been observed by someone,
-and so it is not on its own terms but on the terms of the observer.  So
-it cannot be known if anything exists on its own terms, for it exists on
-its own terms we certainly will not know anything about it.

-By this it is possible to see that nothing is knowable without the
-mediating factor of our mind fucking up the "[raw][]," the "real" world.  But
-by this time it would seem that this chapter is far far too
-philosophical, not to mention pretentious, so I must try again.
