I am an empiricist and a nominalist, not by metaphysic only, but by temperament also. Yet after a few years of contemplating Parmenides, Aristotle, Thales, and the Dao De Jing, I believe I have come into the possession, in fact that I am currently in possession, of the metaphysical key required to comprehend and deduce in an act of pure reason the exact nature and geometrical structure not only of Matter, but also of all Nous, and not only in the abstract sense, but also in the physical sense. How ironic it is that I, an empiricist, a nominalist, have discovered the holy grail of rationalism and realism, and now understand, without performing a single experiment or induction, the nature of the entire universe. Through abduction only I have grasped the All.

Which modern degeneracy did you fall for? Transcendental critique? Existentialism?

Have you read the Transcendental Thomists, OP? Or Bernard Lonergan's Insight? You may find them interesting. I also recommend "A Glimpse of Truth" from Gurdjieff's Views From the Real World, and the Space Trilogy by CS Lewis.

He made up a story that's impossible to disprove and decided it was all encompassing.
