I find it amusing that you have to use conceptual knowledge to express your disdain for conceptual knowledge.
Yes the Bokononists understood all of this very well and expressed it much more simply. Before we are born we are mud. While we are alive we are sitting-up mud and have the glorious opportunity to look around and see how fine it all is. After we die we simply go back to sleep as the mud we've always been. (No more looking around).
