Alexis, let me walk you through Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy, since you seem to think florid language and cryptic references somehow count as intellectual depth. Spoiler: they don’t.
You’re firmly planted on the bottom rung—Remembering. That’s where you regurgitate old texts, religious fragments, and quotes from Nietzsche like a high school student trying to sound impressive by name-dropping books he hasn’t understood. It’s cute, in a tragic sort of way.
Occasionally, you dabble in Understanding—you paraphrase those quotes and myths in your own words, usually surrounded by layers of fog and metaphor to give the illusion of insight. But that’s where you stall. Hard. Because the next level—Applying—would require you to use ideas in a meaningful, testable way. That would mean stepping into the realm of evidence, logic, and real-world consequences. Terrifying, I know.
Analyzing? Forget it. That would involve dissecting arguments, identifying logical structures, and distinguishing between fantasy and causality. But that would expose your entire house of cards, so no wonder you steer clear.
Evaluating—as in critically assessing claims, weighing evidence, drawing conclusions based on reason? Nope. Not even in the rearview mirror.
And Creating? That’s the summit. That’s where original thought lives—where new, coherent frameworks are built from a foundation of deep understanding. But instead of climbing, you’re too busy reenacting ancient metaphysical puppet shows and calling it “nuance.”
So if you ever want to rise above that bottom rung, here’s the deal: drop the incense, retire the Deuteronomy quotes, and try engaging with reality. You know—cause and effect, falsifiability, observable truths.
But until then, enjoy your spot in the taxonomy’s basement. I hear the acoustics are great for echoing scripture.
