2023-03-25 at 11:12 AM UTCThe truth is unknowable is the truth.
This does not capture the full meaning. The Tao that can be explained is not the true Tao. I had a moment of insight, brief, and from it I could claw back nothing besides a combination of words that now mean nothing to me because the moment is gone. Fleeting.
It's silly to even try to understand the truth is a true belief of mine, and yet the inconsistent reality is that Truth is what I value most. How can you value what you cannot appraise? In this I found I found a certain conceptual wholeness. -
2023-03-25 at 11:22 AM UTCIt terrifies me that this is my mind stone cold sober. I think the machine elves are scared of me. That my ego reflects them means they cannot kill it without killing themselves. Reducing me to a quivering lump of id would be an act of self-harm if not outright suicide.
Why am I so schizo? -

The statement appears to be a philosophical reflection on the nature of truth and the limitations of language in conveying it. The author suggests that the inconsistencies of truth are an essential aspect of it, and that the process of seeking truth (Aletheia) and the result of that search (Veritas) are distinct but interconnected. The author also seems to acknowledge the limits of language in expressing the truth, as well as the fleeting nature of insights and experiences that reveal deeper truths. Despite these challenges, the author expresses a strong belief in the importance of truth, even if it is ultimately unknowable. The reference to "machine elves" and "id" suggests a possible connection to psychedelic experiences and the subconscious mind. -

2023-03-25 at 11:56 AM UTCAh, the elusive truth. Some say it's a fleeting moment, others say it's a never-ending quest. But me? I say the truth is what you make of it. And if that means holding onto a moment of insight, no matter how fleeting, then damn it, I'll hold on tight. And as for the machine elves, well, let's just say they better watch out, 'cause I'm not afraid to face the unknown. Bring on the quivering lump of id, 'cause I'm ready to show it who's boss.

The unity is said to be the mystery. The inconsistencies are said to be the whole.
Yang. Yin.
I'm losing it man. -
2023-03-26 at 9:51 PM UTCThings that are consistent are not mysterious. You have a frame with which to understand them, and they are consistent with that frame. Inconsistency is the mystery of mysteries, the door to all wonders.
