I'm >>16983049 and I was drawing a parallel between Ossian schizo, and, Wagnerian NatSoc schizos, who believe the Ring Cycle is a historically accurate portrayal of real events since lost to time. If you're still lost about my half of the conversation, pipe up.

Please tell me what Ibid is. A couple of days ago I saw a thread mentioning it, and I found it humorous that another anon thought it was an Eastern thinker (I thought it was some sauce from Egypt), but no one explained what it actually is in that thread.

So I would like to know because google didn't come up with anything.

130–31 But it happened while I was not along:
they burned up when I was not in their midst.
131–32 Then I died for them,
after I found them as one pile of corpses.
132–33 If you have persevered, with your mind firm,
you will fill your embrace with your children;
133–34 you will kiss your wife and see your home:
it is better than anything;
135–36 you will reach home and be in it
amid your siblings.”
136–38 At that, I wound up prostrate on my belly,
having touched the ground in his presence,
138–40 and saying to him, “I will relate your impressiveness to the sire
and make him aware of your greatness.
140–42 I will have fetched to you jbj-oil and knw-oil,
jwdnb-resin and hzyt-resin, the incense of temple stores,
with which every god is contented.
142–43 And when I relate what happened to me,
what I have seen of your impressiveness,
143–44 you will be thanked in the town
in front of the council and the whole land.
144–46 I will slaughter for you bulls as a burnt offering,
having wrung the necks of birds for you.
146–47 I will have fetched to you ships
loaded with every specialty of Egypt,
147–48 like that which is done for a god people love,
in a far-off land that people don’t know.”
149 Then he laughed at me, at what I said to him,
in error in his opinion,
149–50 saying to me, “Do you have so much myrrh,
and have you become owner of incense?
151 For I am lord of Punt
and myrrh, it is mine.
152 That knw-oil you said would be fetched,
it is the chief thing of this island.
153–54 And when you come to separate yourself from this place,
you will never see this island,
once it has become waters.”
155 Then that boat came
as he had predicted before.
155–56 Then I went
and put myself on a high tree,
and I recognized those who were inside it.
157 Then I went to report it
and I found him aware of it.
158–59 Then he said to me, “Farewell,
farewell, mister, to your house.
You will see your children.
159–60 Put my good name in your town.
Look, that is what I need from you.”
161 Then I put myself on my belly,
my arms bent in his presence.
162–65 Then he gave me a shipment of myrrh and knw-oil,
jwdnb-resin, hzyt-resin, tj-šps wood,
šz plants, galena, tails of giraffe,
big lumps of incense, teeth of elephant,
hounds, monkeys, apes:
every good specialty.
166 Then I loaded it onto that boat.
166–67 Once I had put myself on my belly
to thank him,
167–68 then he said to me,
“Look, you are to arrive home in two months.
168–69 You will fill your embrace with your children
and be rejuvenated inside your entombment.”
169–70 Then I went down to the shore
in that boat’s vicinity.
170–71 Then I was calling to the expedition
that was in that boat.
171–72 I gave praise on the shore
to the lord of that island,
and those who were in it did likewise.
172–73 What we did was to sail downstream
to home and the sire.

>my opinion:
>Shakespeare is bad at story's and only a good poet

I once thought about an idea that definitions don't apply to themselves if they happen to seemingly contradict themselves, something about 'definitions' not truly existing before they are created (or at all) thus they didn't exist to refute themselves and thus be false beforehand. Like the finger pointing at the moon has nothing to do with the moon, or that they are 'super-meta'.

This would potentially go against transcendental arguments.
