Books / Einstein's Intuition Einstein's Intuition Point-iPreface 11 |
Preface The text starts off with two quotes jouissant (ecstatic) with the idea existing (agency: doing and having existence ) as the error that existence is more than idea... more than what everything is. Point-i is the idea that everything is point-i, motion, form, in short, everything is word. “There is no finer sight than that of the intelligence at grips with a reality that transcends it.” Albert Camus.
Intelligence is the logic, reason and form of humanity's incompleteness, namely human as by definition idiot. “One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.” Albert Einstein
Einstein also farcically declared certainty about the infinity of human stupidity, and the high likelihood that the universe is infinite. So, the size of the universe and human stupidity correlate, and of course humanity is infinitesimal and ought to stand in childish awe about anything but itself. In fact humans ought to think with disgust about each other. But what one has to be most submissive to and grateful for is the magnificence of whatever allows one to exist. Before the New...0.1 dresses up the ever-receding utopian dream of idealistic progressivist invention and discovery as Plato's legend. It croons about the dream in the time before the discovery of the New World of a legendary mysterious world of Atlantis beyond the Strait of Gibraltar — a shire of perfect symmetry, beauty and magic, transcending the limits of human imagination and creativity—a discovery of what casts the shadows of Plato's cave, and what in turn casts that, turtles all the way down. The mere possibility...0.2 transposes as holy, the abysmal farce of existing and knowledge, potential and natural incompleteness as humanity's deficiency and the overcoming of it as stirringly, profoundly and bone-chillingly powerful promise of impossible recovery as if it is new discovery. This legend offered...0.3 is about progressivism, i.e. change, growth and enlightenment. Plato's legend is the universal call to blissful enlightenment, the call of Atlantis. It is a siren's call and is anything but human. It is the embodiment of seduction, cunning, and being led down the garden path. It is denial of all that is human. But it is not only denial. As the error of existing, progress and work, every self-deception is at work. It is the error of mind, consciousness and the unconscious projected on the human subject as the producer and owner of the litany of fallacy, self-deception and mental disorder. For the most part...0.4
