To be of ordinary and sane thought is to believe that to varying degrees you do understand what is going on in the unique, non-physical realm about which most of man’s speech is devoted. Once watering a field is explained, that’s the end of it. But explaining god, death, evil, stupidity, (country music), is never ending. Why does not that fact alone suggest something quite telling to you regarding man’s routine mental and vocal life?
If you are ignorant about mining and yet offer explanations you will readily be found out. But you can present explanations about anything at all in man’s intangible reality and never have your ignorance uncovered, (even to yourself). Your explanation may be countered by someone else’s explanation, and they may accuse you of being ignorant in the matter, but they are as ignorant as you.
There exists no objective act by which ordinary minds can perceive true ignorance. They indeed wrangle over their explanations, but none are capable of recognizing that anyone’s explanation of any subject unique to man, that has no tangible reality is a vacuous, meaningless, moot, hubba-hubba explanation – none mean anything, and any is as good as the next.
Anyone who offers to explain man’s intangible, spiritual, cultural world to you has no understanding at all of what life is about. You don’t know and they don’t know, for if they did, they would not be presenting “explanations.”
In the realm unique to man, all explanations are cover ups for ignorance. A fact of which all explainers are ignorant. It is questionable whether life itself could explain what is going on, and that’s why it keeps its mouth shut.
