Non-dumbass: Yes the fuck it does.

Well, there's a lot to say about that symbol.
I'll cover some of the all, and leave what's really important for you, Henry, or an unknown entity to explain, or not.

- The arrangement of the shapes as a single unit appears lopsided in relation to the assumed vertical that would be created by the effects of gravity upon their three-dimensional representations.

- The geometric precision of the separate three shapes appears machined, which makes them close enough for the eye to assume the ideal they represent.

- Zero divided by Zero equals Zero.

- A percentage is a portion of a finite whole, the whole represented by two of the three shapes and a single, shorter version of first line shape that was diagonally situated in relationship to the two orbs that resemble holes, aka the percentage sign.

- As a portion of a finite whole, a percentage of that whole is wholly dependent upon at least one characteristic of the whole, and the whole is inclusive of that, or those, characteristics.

- A popular metaphor is the whole represented by an elephant. Any percentage of the elephant whole which is dependent upon the characteristics of the whole elephant is available to the perceptual capacity of any particular entity, although in the case of the elephant as representing a portion of reality, each percentage of the elephant is theoretically apart from and unique from the other parts, which just doesn’t make sense in the real world when considering that everything is connected to everything else. Of course, this also assumes that any particular entity is lesser than the whole, which oft’ becomes a bone of contention amongst philosophers.

- A diagram of the greater encompassing the lesser is a single two-dimensional orb encompassing a smaller orb, or a three-dimensional sphere encompassing another smaller sphere, and because in the real world the outer boundary of the inner orb need not be equidistant from the inner boundary of the outer orb, the orbital shapes need not be precisely machined with uniform radii to represent the ideal orb.

- Sometimes this is called a Venn diagram, named after a fellow with a speech impediment named Flynn who introduced himself as Venn while writing Flynn, two symbols of sounds so obviously wildly different that reasonable folks could get confused if using them together, as any PI would have learned if hired by Flynn’s, or Venn’s, wife to track down his goings-on at those math conferences.

- When the transmission of communication is limited to six symbols in configuration, and the three that are the object of this contemplation are the final expression, the first of the other three can either be an orb or it can be a short vertical line that would be of length equal to the orb’s radius, if the orb wasn’t absent. However, if the initial shape is in fact an orb, then because the seventh shape of a period is also absent from the whole of the expression, then the orb can only be followed by the percentage notation represented by the three symbols conjunctively contemplated when used in conjunction with that notation. However, if the initial shape is in fact the short vertical line of length equal to the absent orb’s radius, then one or two other shapes can squeeze between the line representing one, and the percentage notion. One, but only one of the shapes can be a repetition of the initial short, vertical line, which would be a total of five geometric shapes. However, if the vertical line is followed by a single orb, then it may also be followed by a second orb, but no more than that. There can be no one hundred and ten percenters, nor can one give a thousand percent effort, sir.

Conclusion 1: No less and no more than six geometric shapes are required to represent the ALL of any particular thing, including the ALL itself when ALL is defined as a thing.

Conclusion 2: The doing that must be done is as endless as time, therefore a delineation that separates the ego-guided known from the unmanifested, wu-wei-guided unknown, is how the doing is done, making why dependent upon the known, and independent of the Unknown’s, how.

Conclusion 3: Although less is often known, more is often said, more or less.

Keyword: Six.

In ancient Athens, a scaffold stood in the center of an amphitheater: "Anyone proposing a new law, or a change in an old law, had to ascend that scaffold and stand beneath a dangling noose while he made his suggestions to the assembly. If his suggestion was approved and enacted into law, the innovator had to ascend that scaffold once again a year later. When the results of his suggestion had been to worsen instead of to improve conditions, he was hanged..." -Otto Scott

"I have great hopes that we shall learn in due time how to emotionalise and mythologise their science to such an extent that what is, in effect, a belief in us (though not under that name) will creep in while the human mind remains closed to belief in the Enemy. The 'Life Force', the worship of sex, and some aspects of Psychoanalysis, may here prove useful. If once we can produce our perfect work -- the Materialist Magician, the man, not using, but veritably worshipping, what he vaguely calls 'Forces' while denying the existence of 'spirits' -- then the end of the war will be in sight." -Screwtape

The intent is to worsen conditions.

Biden is delivering as promised. The Independents who are complaining about the combination of high prices and inflation miscalculated in their assumptions about the what the phrase “fundamental change,” and its effects, actually means.

Independents refused to see the seams on the change-up because they believed Biden’s pitch was real. How gullible.

Biden’s oil and gas tactic is the same as Obama’s coal tactic: make it too expensive to use.

"The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted." -Aldous Huxley

Good quote, an accurate depiction of the human mental state.

My personal response to the quote: Human beings are the victims of their own mentality through no fault of their own, but through the mechanics that is their brains capacity to be fully conscious and aware of itself as an identity, with the added bonus of conceptual language. This mentally constructed sense of self and others is known as EGO

Non-human Animals do not appear to have quite the same sense of self important conscious thinking subjective identity, well at least not as intense as the human animal does.

And that is why human beings suffer the unfortunate condition known as existential neurosis, namely, their own existence, and the fear of losing that existence, and in that fear they strive only for self-preservation as and through procreation because they believe their sense of being is worthy and valuable, and that they are important and that they have a purpose that goes above and beyond other living organisms. We know this because human beings built churches of worship. Somewhere along the line, they believed life was divinely sacred and worthy of praise and admiration.

This existential neurosis is an unnatural condition, it is one of the biggest deluded self-deceptions that nature has played on itself. So on that note, nature is not your friend, it only pretends to be your friend. The sweet lure of nature is a necessary function of a reality that eats itself to death, in order that it can live IMHO, not saying this is absolute truth, I'm offering up what is my personal opine.

If it’s so commonplace then it’s a natural condition, rather than unnatural. More specifically, delusion is a natural response to conditions, although not everyone is a slave to their delusions.

I said it's a trick the natural plays on itself...dumbo.

Unnatural is natural.. In other words, any apparent conceptual distinction, is a mentally constructed meaning, or perception, or interpretation...or whatever word nature uses to colour what is fundamentally, colourless..

What is artificially superimposed upon the screen of consciousness is in reality indistinguishable from it.

Why are so you unbelievably dumb when it comes to understanding metaphysics.

Kinda like sayin' no, I'll pass on a third helpin' of cyanide.

You done killed yourself already.

Newsflash:

You cannot kill yourself.

You can only kill the belief that you can kill yourself.
