Don’t feel like explaining this at the moment. I think it is clear enough.
Actually: interrogate. Do you think this is true? In what domains? To what extent? To what extent is this a coherent statement? What would falsify it? How many ways can it be true? What alternative formulations would you suggest? What is missing?
Concise, confident statements tend to have an allure that can lead to being blinded to their limitations. A paradigmatic example is the opening to Anna Karenina, which I have never agreed with. All human qualities, from happiness to sadness, from goodness to evil, have unique manifestations.
Never treat the world as an abstraction, because that ends the conversation.
Was that an example? To what extent can abstractions which counsel against abstraction be trusted?
We all sleepwalk, every day, most of the day. Once in a while, we get that feeling when you wake briefly from a nap, and realize you were dozing. But sleep is so much more pleasant, even if less instructive.
Should we deny one another the comforts of very incomplete knowing? Or are they comforts? That is the question. My answer is that much more is possible, if we just wade through the shit.
