/lit/ - Literature

Plato did it better

fixed the OP

This image inspired me to declare physics as my major, and as a result, I experienced great agony (workloads, homework, complex ideas, real analysis, qft, integral by parts etc.). I wish to comprehend this image. What book ought I to read?

What is the thing in itself?

Cause he ultimately isn't concerned with intellectual truths. He is concerned with the preservation of the soul of our species and in some ways the soul beyond death.

Intellect is lower than the body in that I can blow your head off with a shotgun and it disappears, but of course your body is still there. Belief is fundamentally higher than body and intellect because it for conversation sake is a process that exists above the physical, not below or within it, it was intended to be alittle fake to begin with but above that it holds power over both intellect and body. It is the fullest spectrum of instinct which reflects the imagination-like nature of "God" or reality. By this measure it can exist beyond matter, and matter as we know it is a consequence of sense (see: Kant). So what's that? Reality is basically a gigantic abstract perception of itself? Woah who knew. When we try to "KNOW KNOW KNOW" but exclude the belief or the body we are basically just shallowing and externalizing our consciousness into a bunch of symbols and figures rather than actual experience.

This, it's just a bolder rephrasing of older more accepted concepts so so.ylent midwits seethe at it.

The notion that every facet of reality is governed by or necessarily reducible to syllogisms, theories, and systems of logic capable of being dissected and understood. I thought /lit/ was better than this semen slurping reddit bullshit yet everyday there's more neurotic retards trying to discount the sum of human experience.
What I'm saying is that I thought at one time that people here were generally a little more than "book smart", and it's disappointing to find that's not the case.

Good things happen to me often and I feel very guilty about them. It makes me fearful that I'm being prepared for great suffering.

Can I have the Plato one please?

A very unrewarding maze of semantics and cognitive interfaces. You're better off watching any of the video essays done on the topic as the thesis is essentially bullshit. It isn't right to propose non-representational models as accessible by mere critique. We're not ants, we're human beings god fucking dammit.
