You are not your name known.

You are this not-knowing known.

A name known knows nothing.

It goes without saying, I want you aboard our ship in London.

Of course, i'm rather certain you are a man that would understand why.
I got no business in not-so-Great Britain. It's very cold. And so is the weather.

And I don't mean Great Britain. I mean philosophy.

I've got a good reason to go there (Neuromancer).

We've all got to work together to make this conscious mind system as efficient as possible.

We're already working together.

The system is already efficient.

For example: You wouldn't have been able to paint your art without their being a someone to design and make your paintbrushes, and your canvas and your paint palette..etc etc...

Another example: You wouldn't be able to enjoy a good meal every evening if there was no one who placed that food in a supermarket, or packaged the food in a factory. Or even farmed for the food from fields and animals. Or picked the food naturally growing on trees and bushes and in the ground. Someone had to harvest all our food just so that you were able to eat a good meal from your plate. Not to mention, someone had to make electrical cookers, and fridges, so that you could cook your food, and keep it fresh and from turning rancid for being left out of the fridge too long.

You would even be wading through piles of rotting smelly rubbish if it wasn't for the very important job that is a rubbish bin collector.

Are you even able to explain what a 'sage' is, exactly, to the readers here "attofishpi"?

If yes, then will you?

If no, to either question, then why not?

If 'we' are to take the word 'philosophy' to, more or less, mean or refer to the clove-of-wisdom' or of having a 'love-of-learning and/or a 'love-of-becoming wiser', then 'the reason' you human beings are born naturally or instinctively with 'this love' is so that 'I' would, eventually, 'come-to-know thy Self'.

Once this WAS achieved, then I was able to KNOW the reason, purpose, and/or meaning for ALL things, in Life, including for Life, Itself, as well as then CREATE what 'it' is, EXACTLY, that I Truly want, and desire.
