The answer deep thought philosophy gives is usually unexceptable. You are the “within it”. Which means there is no independent out-there to manipulate into producing. #philsci #nondual #adichotomy
Though many think of the world as an intelligible place we will one day fully understand, G. Anthony Bruno argues this dream is ultimately a fantasy. | https://bit.ly/3ZdOXXW
Bruno suggests that philosophy’s task is not to dispel this mystery, but to find how to live productively within it.

It’s clear this seems counterintuitive to idealized experience, but there isn’t a cosmos out there or ID in here. No independent view from no where to confirm an expanding universe out there. It’s definitely ok/normal to make such assumptions. Yet reality is the normal, consistent, mundane. #philsky

There is ‘likely’ no independent anything to create ‘other’ stuff and be called god, even in the most traditional sense. Proof of existence isn’t proof, especially if personal awareness is not required. i.e. “I” personhood, is not some separate requirement for existence as proof. #philsci

In a typical retort to a _true origin of_ the answer is duality, a practiced mediation (or just "feeling in the zone") makes this clear. The examiner falls to the examined, the doer falls to the doing. It's not a moment of synchronization, it's an eternity of being, without breaks.
