Being subtly tactful is good, but this does not detract from the fact that "small talk" is entirely superfluous, and ridiculous.

It is always amusing to witness a supersocial individual's facial expression when you interrupt their "small talk" with the fact of the matter, and do not follow their social cues; it is as if they were not programmed for anything else, and lack special software; sometimes you want to laugh immediately afterward, but you know that they would not "get it", and you do not want to confuse their operating system any further, so you refrain.

>Erudition is wealth, robust knowledge, being alive; it is organic diversification & signals open mindedness.
>...open mindedness.

Apparently so open that it is incapable of adequately defining anything, with the mouth corresponding to it (":O").


What is important is sapience —which developmentally entails elegance & eloquence—, not erudition; the former is substantial, and inimitable; the latter is merely formulary & ordinary, being totally replicable.

There are erudite sapients, and there are erudite nescients; the former are erudite in orthogrammatical formation; the latter, in superfluous information.

A (c)rude sapient person is infinitely more precious than an erudite nescient one, and at least improvable, whereas the latter is not even improvable.

Just because what I wrote is severe, and you do not like it, does not make it obnoxious.


>The rational understanding of God can only be established by/along with Faith. Pascal was a Jansenist.

Ok, but the topic of this thread, which I addressed, is the quote in the original post.

Verily, written by someone who has lost, or forgotten, their essential self: words are coming out of him, but he is not really saying anything —like most adulterated individuals.

The child is sapient, and the noble person does not lose this his essential self throughout adulthood, but, rather, he retains, and sustains, it; the child is also naturally puerile, and ludic, but certainly not reduceable to them.

The ending of "Exodus" would be comical if it were not real, much like the world today; the only thing more tragicomical is the sincere, and futile, attempts of Protestantized nescients to spuriously rationalize everything that is in total incongruence with God, nobility, and with the principle of Good; these are the same cloying, dishhonestly Antichristian idiots that turn naive sapient individuals in their phases of prematurity toward honest/open Antichristianity.
