Ermagerd! Not aimed at you festive, but that kind of noodly bullshit just chaps my ass like sliding naked down a slide covered in sandpaper! If it is so indescribable how can you tell if you are right? When someone "get's it" they grin and nod and hold their posture just so. That is similar to acid heads trying to out-harcore-trip each other. "No dude, I was like, in a tunnel of vexing square boxes. Then the glowing man opened the akashic dimension to me and the whole of reality was made clear unto me!" Ok, so what can you tell me about reality that will help me in any way whatsoever? "Well, you just gotta love everyone man." Hmm, how quaint, let me guess, when I see the resplendent vistas of Everest in a dream so deep that the abyss seems to swallow the universe like a child popping a Starburst, then and only then will I view the great electron! Pay no attention to the man eating a microwave buritto after huffing bong hit after bong hit on the sofa!
My goal is to immanentize the eschaton through science.
