Let us recall:
Plato drew a sharp distinction between knowledge, which is certain, and mere true opinion, which is not certain. Opinions derive from the shifting world of sensation; knowledge derives from the world of timeless Forms, or essences.
And you think this somehow supports
your intoxicated delusion of certainty and timeless forms?

Note that Lacewing always tends to say that I, Alexis Jacobi, am cut from the same cloth as Immanuel Can. Why is this?
I've told you very clearly. It's because you are a pompous fool, drunk on your self-righteous delusion. You, like I.C., cannot drop it and come down to Earth with the rest of ALL that is divine. You have to pretend that you sit above us, on some imaginary platform. Meanwhile, your delusion continually grows in order to save your ego despite all to the contrary, and you'll do and say just about anything to serve that highest purpose. (That's the same kind of evil parasitic worm you accused I.C. of having.)
Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 2:56 pmI believe in knowledge and 'solidities' which I describe as having a metaphysical existence.
Knowledge and 'solidities' vary from era to era, culture to culture, and person to person. Why do you imagine that you can possess such a thing to any certain degree
beyond how it serves you?
Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 2:56 pmI could go down the line (Gary, Dubious, Promethean, Lacewing and all others) and note that each of these is subsumed into a type of idea-fragmentation.
Your inability to understand a more freely functioning capability (and
the value of it) in contrast to your rigid methodology is understandable, considering your highest purpose.

these two are *birds of a feather*. They could
mate and from them the Postmodern Master Race might bear itself.
How sweet.

And yet, you're captivated by us.
Perhaps our free-spirited and confidently feisty natures intrigue you. We're not sheep. We're not entrenched. We're self-sufficient, reasonably intelligent, and we're having fun. You try to distort this to fit into some bullshit model in your own head... and again, this is all to serve your ego. Fuck your ego, A.J. It stunts your ability to see anything beyond it.
There are many effective and wonderful ways to perceive and to live life. It doesn't need to be I.C.'s way or your way or any way in particular at all.

interpretation.
Actually, you've created and bestowed it upon yourself.
Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 2:56 pmWhy must I be mercilessly blamed and so
cruelly attacked for doing what I've been
called to do?
Because it seems to be the only way to get your attention... and it's fun.
Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 2:56 pmIf one has a descriptive statement one has decided something. But for those comfortable on a shifting plane decisiveness is
anathema (hello Lacewing).
I've told you before that I've been living a very successful life. I couldn't do that if I couldn't make decisions. You seem to think that we must 'lock down' what we 'know' and make our solid conclusions on that. You are no different than any other foolish men who've insisted on the same thing, only for life to evolve beyond that. It's all temporary and structured for the circumstances of the time. Structures provide stability for certain purposes for a time, but then men cling because they want to rule the structures. Then they claim to be uniquely chosen and/or qualified for these tasks, when actually the structures have become their idols and prisons.
I do not operate that way, and I've naturally reaped the rewards for not doing so. Awareness is more flexible than knowledge. Being able to discern how to handle each moment as it comes has been more beneficial to me than applying a 'solid model' from my library.
So, you see (but probably not), you really don't know what you're talking about in regard to me, and yet you just keep trying to define me with your limited dumbass notions because you've made it clear that your purpose is to rule a structure that supports your ego -- and that's why I don't like talking to you most of the time. Your self-serving project holds no interest for me.

fracturation away from such certainty and any statements about certain knowledge.
What you shortsightedly call 'fracturation' -- is actually freedom for those who are not bound in self-service to 'certain knowledge'. A dismissal of your values is not an indication that there are no values. Your inability to see other values and capability is not an indication that they don't exist.
I think you actually suspect (like I.C.) that there is more than your 'precious' treasure that you're fully intoxicated with (like Gollum), but you cannot let go as you cannot imagine existing without/beyond it. Of course we can exist and move beyond a current state of awareness. What more becomes possible when humans get out of their own way? When we drop our intoxication and dependency on our own and other's creations, and freely utilize and play with these tools and toys instead? What might we be able to recognize (completely natural) that we couldn't see before?
Think about the controlling mentality of mankind that has pulled us away from our natural awareness and power... and in some respects, has even damned such a thing! Yet doesn't it make sense that our natural awareness and power is the closest position to 'truth' -- rather than the creations of men? How far does the process go of men 'branding' everything as their own... to serve themselves and for all to worship? What have we lost sight of in the process?
