Oh but they do show it. You ever listen to someone assert some book or movie is their absolute all time favorite and have very little of substance to say? I don't think that's an some epistemological problem, that's just the breadth and depth of their cognizance. Even if someone doesn't have a massive vocabulary you can still sense passion and earnestness. I know people who are dumb as bricks and still have a rich inner world and I've met highly skilled people who can do nothing with that skill because they have nothing to express outside perfunctory gestures.

>read all the classics and great writers
>everything else seems derivative and uninteresting now

My argument is that pepe is the pure emotional archetype. Innocence is therefore also part of it since he is not corrupted by constant simulated noise that reduces the pieces of all art. We are innocent by definition since we have always been children, but only became adults recently, it's always there.

I consider The Supreme Identity required reading for anyone who is even vaguely interested in religion, spirituality, or mysticism. Nobody translates eastern ideas and concepts for wester audiences better than Watts. He's an incredible speaker and I recommend his lectures over most of his books. People will just scream reddit and pseud because he makes challenging concepts more accessible to the average person.

>How do you explain the Book of Job?
Very easily.

Life is like sailing. You can't control the wind. You can learn to sail, you can get good at predicting the weather, you can have faith that wind will eventually blow, but there's nothing you can do to do master the wind, the wind is ultimately the master of you when you sail. When you accept the wind as your master you can achieve purpose together, and when you're done sailing you thank the wind.

If the Lord of Storms sends unfavorable winds your way and you don't have any of the aforementioned skills, you are fucked. And if you sit on the shore shitting and pissing yourself about how unfair the Lord of Storms is angrily shaking your fist at clouds you at best get nothing and at worse exacerbate a bad situation.

The world is my Representation, but it is also my Will.

Post kino quotes by authors on metaphysics babyyyyy

>The method of empirical science exhibits two defects.
The first is that the Universal or general principle contained in it, the genus, or kind, etc., is, on its own account, indeterminate and vague, and therefore not on its own account connected with the Particulars or the details. Either is external and accidental to the other; and it is the same with the particular facts which are brought into union: each is external and accidental to the others.
The second defect is that the beginnings are in every case data and postulates, neither accounted for nor deduced. In both these points the form of necessity fails to get its due. Hence reflection, whenever it sets itself to remedy these defects, becomes speculative thinking, the thinking proper to philosophy - Hegel, Shorter Logic

Empirical "science" PWNED!
