Quote from 2cents:
well... in a mad world only the mad are sane... except this world isn't mad...
simply, it is not causal, but spans the whole spectrum from causal to acausal... and by construction we are ill-equiped to deal with the non-causal... despite being immersed into it and confronted daily with blinding evidence...
quit the causal goggles... this mushroom's doing just fine in the dark, trust me...
come into my world...
Good news! The world's cultures are well-cushioned from causal cares. It's design does defend *intelligently* against the penetration of light. Merely the valuation of it's cultures is sufficient to preserve the sights, sounds, and, uh...smells of its alledged reality. In fact, the valuation of any single aspect of the culture is enough to preserve the whole culture. To this end, the *continuum* serves as an ingenious defense.
There are no continuums in Reality, nevertheless, your observation of that phenomenon is prescient. The continuum is ubiquitous and necessary for the world's need to entice value-judgements thereby to conjure credulous support of an otherwise unfounded premise.
The world is actually entirely acausal. It is built on
sand, so-to-speak. This is masked by a continuum of potential valuations, placing the truth on a sliding scale, as if the entirely untrue could be valued as more or less true. This serves to make it all true, for anyone willing to take the bait. Judging anything along the continuum as true, the wishful swallow the whole, hook line and sinker.
Here's how the troll works: By placing elements of Reality with it's antithesis along a continuum, the antithesis is made real instead, masking its genesis. For example, what is the antithesis of a rock foundation [think: Truth]? Space? Air? Nothing? The manifestation of the continuum between rock and space would be, surprise,
sand! Do this for every aspect of reality and you have *the world*. The attempt to "know" rock as nothing is what pulverizes the rock into sand. In other words, the world is the ideological manifestation of the attempt to
know both good and its antithesis as one thing! It is all about diversity, mixing things up, obfuscating the issues, misdirection, distraction...all of which renders the Truth a bloody mess. A popular manifestation of this phenomenon is the idea that God can be made man, as if truth and illusion could possibly mix. This is essentially magic, the attempt to reconcile the unreconcilable. That is the whole genesis of the world.
Knowledge is "good". Knowledge is power. Knowledge is real. Knowlege has a firm foundation. And knowledge is one whole. You cannot break it up into bits and pieces and maintain anything but a semblance of reality...anything other than a rediculous parody of creation. "Good" has no opposites. The world is the attempt to know it and its opposite, resulting in a powerful fantasy that appears to be rock-solid "real" for a mind that
wishes that it was.
The genesis of the world traces back to a singular premise. As it was "judged" to be "true", the world was built upon it. The world will end when the premise is judged rightly.
