When I use the words "nature" or "world" or "reality" I do not only mean the world governed by what man has discovered as patterns within ordered patterns - calling them "Laws of Nature" or "Laws of Logic" - this focuses on the perceived world of order - the world man can perceive - physis.

What I include is the entire gamut in what I've presented as a triad:
Physis/Metaphysis/Ideal-Objective

Chaos is part of metaphysics - that which empresses itself through physis, just as chaos presents itself to man via order, viz., its subatomic, quantum, interactions with what we call matter/energy, i.e., order, patterns.
Since chaotic energies cannot unify so as to become apparent to our senses - senses only require sensitivity to facilitate survival - they can only be perceived through how they affect what can be perceived, viz., through subtle, unforeseen, modifications of the perceived - via change and how with each repetition the previous is not repeated exactly.

So, when I say "nature" I do not only mean what has been determined - the immutable past - but also what is continuously being determined - in the dynamic present - with our own continuous participation - conscious or not - in relation to what has yet to be determined - in the presently being determined future.
To simply:
Every one of us, as existent, is participating and contributing to what is being determined - we are part of the causal chain; with every choice we determine the future....with every choice of one and not another, we contribute. We are willful agencies - different from will-less matter/energy.
Life is not a stone.

Semiotics - words/symbols acquire independent meaning - objectivity - when they are anchored in physis.
From this starting point they can proceed to connect with metaphysis and ideology/dogma.

If, on the other hand, they begin from attempting to anchor themselves in either metaphysis or ideology/dogma and then attempt to connect to physis they become disconnected and meaningless, only able to affect minds conditioned to react to them in specific ways - indoctrinated minds within a philosophical metaphysics or a political/religious ideology/dogma.
Nihilism is the term I use to describe the latter.

Concepts anchored linguistically to physis, i.e., the observable, experienced world, are never arbitrary nor dependent on subjective interpretations.
They remain fixed, or as fixed as they can be in a dynamic fluctuating cosmos - nevertheless they remain relatively stable and independent from motives or needs/desires.

McGilchrist, Iain wrote:
Few artists of the period have escaped the problem entirely; many have not escaped it at all. But this fact is carefully obscured, I believe, by two tendencies in the criticism of modernism (themselves both modernist tendencies). The first is a willingness to accept an explicit manifesto or message (again, as in the Enlightenment) as a substitute for imaginative experience: this is often an apparently coded message, which thereby flatters the decoder. We seem to see art, where we have nothing more than a text. The other tendency complements it: in the absence of a message we tend to ‘stare’ at it until it is freighted with meaning. It's rather like the projections we make into a Rorschach blot. We mistake our lonely monologue for a dialogue. Tristan Tzara, one of the founders of Dadaism, rather gave the game away when he proclaimed, at the outset of modernism, that art had become ‘a private affair – the artist produces it for himself’, and judgment had become completely subjective.
[The Master and His Emissary]
And this carries over into so called “philosophy” when it rambles on incoherently about obscure concepts, delivered via inappropriately applied terminology and supported by impressive references to iconic figures that are supposed to alleviate skepticism and quiet doubt.

At first the term "god" referred to whatever man could not understand, then it became a term which referred to what man used to cope with is his anxiety in relation to what man could not understand, becoming a term referring to what man could not justify nor make comprehensible.
Ignorance is the source of divinity. Man exalts what he feels threatened by, attempting to coerce, seduce, or bribe his way out of a corner.

By giving the incomprehensible, and then the unjustifiable and unreasonable, a name man felt that he made it more intimate.

Soul & Spirit are two of those words that have been corrupted over the centuries – increasingly associated with Abrahamics abstractions with no references outside the mind. If we are to attempt to anchor them upon reality – "bring them down to earth" – then we may use "soul" to refer to disembodied mind – immortal in that its products can be converted to codes, i.e., art, that will outlive the brain that created them – and "spirit" to refer to embodied mind, able to encompass multiple bodies into a collective the mind can identify with and disappear within, undying as long as its comrades continue on and recall its memories.

When we use words like value, will, intent, judgment, choice, need, suffering, desire, we are referring to organic life, applicable to biology or psychology, and not applicable to anything beyond other than in reference to subjectivity and tis perspectivism, containing reality within the organic minds - realm of noetics, semiotics and abstractions, i.e., ideologies, theories.
An interpretation of the existent often called "world" - as such mind is world-creator in that it exists within its own constructs - interpretations of sensual data, from external sources, mixed - synthesized - with data from internal sources.
This synthesis is what manifests as mind, and what is referred to as 'god,' or 'spirit,' or 'soul,' = god being the idealization of embodied - mind/body synthesis - soul, or as disembodied 'spirit'.
Disembodied mind feels as a god, creator of worlds; embodied mind, soul, feels immortal, not restricted by the body it is a manifestation of - feeling "above," transcending the physical.
At first as a disembodied external agency - a one-god, projection of an idealized self - and then as an embodied agency - a god, projecting an idealized ego.

There is, of course, no magic, as it is conventionally understood. But there are magical spells, cast verbally.
Words can affect the mind like medicine can affect the body, whether it is presented as pharmakon, delivered via a pill or a placebo.

Language/Words are the expression of a person's thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and emotions.

The ability of a person to accurately and convincingly present these (which is an Artform) is a direct signifier of general intelligence.

Illiterate and Unintelligent people, readily demonstrate their lack of logic, rationality, knowledge, and common sense, via language.


ILP is proof of this.

How does one break out of the self-referential nihilistic paradigm?
How does one begin to stop being a chosen one of the book, by the book, for the book?
How does one start to reconnect with reality, with nature, with existence?

First step
Reconnect words to actions.
Return language to its original utility of mediating between ideas (abstractions, noumena) and the real (apparent, interactive).
Begin with simple concepts like male/female, then add behaviours like sex....then proceed to social context and to concepts like gender.
Each step should remain true to the previous, so sexual behaviour should be aligned to the concepts male/female, and gender should be aligned with sex and male/female.

Once you do this with as many concepts as possible you may proceed to more abstract ideas.

Then you may begin to perceive how concepts are corrupted as they are gradually and methodically misaligned or completely detached from the original concept.

The process moves from more tangible concepts towards increasingly more abstract concepts, in a aligned continuum.
As one moves upward one is restricted, disciplined, by the previous concept even while splintering into multiple directions.
The starting concept acts as an anchoring, or a reference point within sensually experienced reality.

All errors will be the product of a misalignment.

One begins with what is present, perceived sensually, interpreted as the apparent and then proceeds towards increasingly abstract noumena.
The first concept, the anchor, is really a dynamic, interactive pattern, necessitating contant reaffirmation and, if need be, adjustment.
It is a product of evolved, over hundreds of thousands of years, probabilities.

Genes to memes.

One moves from the biological, the physical, towards the psychological, the mental, and then into the sociological, the collective, before one advances into the ideological, the theoretical.
This is what I mean by "down to earth".
The original concept must be a multiplicity, so as to establish a range of probabilities and a median.
If possible not only multiple examples but also multiple perspectives must be integrated and arranged by degree of probability, based on the reliability - quality - of the perspective, over time; not necessarily only human perspectives.
Animal behaviour provides the purest perspective because they remain outside manmade ideological corruptions.

Armstrong, Karen wrote:
Today many people in the West would be dismayed if a leading theologian suggested that God was in some profound sense a product of the imagination. Yet it should be obvious that the imagination is the chief religious faculty. It has been defined by Jean-Paul Sartre as the ability to think of what is not. Human beings are the only animals who have the capacity to envisage something that is not present or something that does not yet exist but which is merely possible. The imagination has thus been the cause of our major achievements in science and technology as well as in art and religion. The idea of God, however it is defined, is perhaps the prime example of an absent reality which, despite its inbuilt problems, has continued to inspire men and women for thousands of years. The only way we can conceive of God, who remains imperceptible to the senses and to logical proof, is by means of symbols, which it is the chief function of the imaginative mind to interpret.
Suhrawardi was attempting an imaginative explanation of those symbols that have had a crucial influence on human life, even though the realities to which they refer remain elusive.
A symbol can be defined as an object or a notion that we can perceive with our senses or grasp with our minds but in which we see something other than itself. Reason alone will not enable us to perceive the special, the universal or the eternal in a particular, temporal object. That is the task of the creative imagination, to which mystics, like artists, attribute their insights.
As in art, the most effective religious symbols are those informed by an intelligent knowledge and understanding of the human condition.
A History of God
And language is man’s primary art-form.

Ethnos is gene/meme synthesis, i.e., harmony. Body/Mind manifesting a primordial unity of race and art.
An example of how nihilism intentionally confuses genes with memes, so as to usurp genealogy and replace it with ideology (memeology), we can use the concept of the nation state Though most nation states are a creation of tribal, ethnic, populations the example of multicultural – genetically miscegenated nation states, e.g., United States, Australia, Canada, etc. – are now the ideal example all nation states must imitate. So, although France is the nation states of the Francs, and Greece of the Hellenes, and Italy of the Italics, and Germans of the Germanics, and Russia of the Russians, this ethnic identity is to be replaced with an abstraction that can include any and all ethnicities, mixing them all up into theoretical unity identified as a nationality.
U.S. dominion after the end of the war has marketed itself – via Hollywood and its dominance over the world's media and entertainment industries – as the ideal to be imitated so as to create a Globalized community distinguished only according to market values and forces. England is, therefore, not of the English but an idea, a concept, which can identify anyone living within its boundaries as "English". Miscegenation will then erase distinct tribal and racial lines that cannot be ignored, i.e., the physical, apparent, mixed into a genetic soup with no distinct genealogy. Meme usurping gene.
Brazil is an example of the consequences. America, due to historical factors, didn't completely follow down this path. Its "melting pot" remained distinctly European. This is what they are being held to account for failing to abide by their own values.

Cultivating linguistic obscurantism is how the Magian maintains and increases his prophetic powers, in relation to a fluctuating unforeseeable existence.
Language remains ambiguous enough to be given any desired meaning, keeping the underlying objective in focus.

Art - language - words/symbols = proxies connecting a mental abstraction with a sensually perceived presence - an appearance.
Subjective referring to an Object/Objective.
Nexus of mind and body - idea/ideal and the real.

Two types of Art - two linguistic utilities; applications of words/symbols.
1- Representation, reaffirmation, of the sensually perceived - interpreted.
2- Representation of the individual reaction to the sensually perceived - interpreted.

All art - including language - expresses a combination of both.
Nihilism attempts to completely detach the representation form the represented, so as to make art a representation of a reaction to reactions - symbols/words referring to other symbols/words, completely circumventing the sensually perceived.
As such nihilism is self-deceiving and emotional - defensiveness pushed to its extreme, viz., the ideological nullification of the apparent, that which is present. Past made present as presence.
Inter-Subjectivity is the collectivization of subjectivity - people of the book, by the book, for the book; ideas referring to other ideas; perspective referring to perspectives; words referring and deferring to scripture, to words.

The sensual, exposing the mind to physis, the physical, tangible, uncertain world, is to be reduced to another ideology.
Biology becomes ideology.

Although the circumstances determine how we apply the concepts of "justice", the concept itself remains fixed as referring to a relationship between subjective, objective and what it requires to bring the two together.

For example, aborting a down syndrome foetus will be just and moral if the objective is to create a healthy warrior cast but if it is to protect all life then the same abortion will be unjust and immoral.

Here the deciding factor is not the subjective, nor the objective, nor even what is necessary to bring the two together, but the world within which the consequences of both perspectives will compete.
A world indifferent to all subjective views, all its objectives, and towards all efforts to bring the two together.

As such, it stands that a subjective consciousness, with an intent - a conscious or not objective - and its evaluations concerning what needs to be done for the subject to attain its objective, will be tested and tried.
All approximations will succeed or fail to the degree of their accuracy - judgements - and how they compete within a shared world.
Nihilism may comfort the one that fails but it cannot help him adjust his judgments. In fact it inhibits all such adjustments and so the nihilist can only experience a life of self-comforting animosity towards a world it cannot cope with nor understand since he refuses to diagnose the cause of his failures.

Socrates could not define "justice" because the concept only existed in the minds of men and nowhere else.
Just as there is no innate value, or innate goodness...
These concepts refer to a living mind's triangulation, using itself as the pinnacle, the primary point of the triad (first person consciousness), gradually developing the ability to project himself in the third person, from another point on the triangle, or outside its triangulations.

The triangle is constituted by the subject, tis objective and the subject's evaluation of the distance between them.
All points are a product of subjective evaluation, including the subject itself, in relation to the other points - ergo Know Thyself is the primary method of accurately evaluating oneself.

I never tell people what to think but how to think.
I never tell them what to do, only how to base their actions on what is most probable.

Once words remain anchored, grounded upon reality, even if it is via other words, then I listen to their theories....if not, I don't care to listen to gibberish.
The connection to reality via anchoring words must be harmonious, logical, rational....not contradictory.

semiotics creates and shapes the lens through which we perceive the world.
This determines our judgments and choices, and these determine our relationship with reality.

Consequences follow from this relationship, as well as how we deal with them.

What if the only way to cope with reality was to define it in a way that made it absurd, or impossible to exist, irrational?
Would this protect you from what you've defined and described out of existence?
Would you, then, be safe from what is unendurable?
Would what you've defined and described in a way that made it impossible to exist protect you from its existence?

When words, representing concepts, have been disconnected from experienced, tangible, reality and made into abstractions detached from everything outside minds, they have been converted to concepts that can easily be manipulated and exploited by minds.
When words, representing concepts, remain attached to external, shared, experienced, referents this prevents such manipulations and exploitations and makes the body the only way exploitation and manipulation can proceed to alter the world.

In realism words are always referring and restricted by actions, and so multiple minds can use multiple symbols/words to refer to the exact same interactivity, behaviour.
Nihilism refuses to do so, in fact it disconnects words from actions/behaviours so as to "liberate" and un-restrict them, rendering them meaningless.

Perceived interactivity is always patterned.
Organisms evolved methods of interpreting them in accordance to an objective and a strategy of attaining it, nevertheless it always refers to the same patterns.
Ergo, all subjectivity refers to the same objective world, unless it strives to escape, or negate it....in which case the subject suffers the consequences. This is why such sick minds always seek collectives to share the costs of such insanity, or to be sheltered from the severity of the consequences.
But, how much insanity can a collective endure?
This is why size matters, in this case.
The larger the collective the more insanity it can absorb and disseminate.
But, here as well, there's a limit....and we can see the limit being reached in the US.

"First principles"
"What does he DO..."

What is the function of an action?
Apply this to sex, and to morality, and to every word.
The word refers to an activity.
This activity, what is its function, its utility.
Why does it persists, given that nature is frugal, and all mutations are tested: do they offer an advantage, a disadvantage, or are they neutral, awaiting an additional mutation to expose their essence.
Of those activities that persist, what is their primary utility and what develop additional utilities, secondary ones?

Environment is crucial as it represents all interactivity surrounding all particular activities, determining their advantages and disadvantages.
Man intervenes, as he always does, to adjust and change environments, adjusting advantage/disadvantage but with collateral effects man has not thoroughly evaluated.
Sheltering, for example, may change a disadvantage into an advantage, with unforeseen long term effects, just as man creates localized abundances of resources with many psychosomatic effects, e.g., pollution, obesity, heart disease - nihilism being one such collateral effect.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is an example of nihilistic semiotics and how nihilism always desperately desires to use symbols/words to disconnect from a world it finds traumatic, or undesirable - too much to handle or too little top suffice.
Words become divine insights into universal will.
No longer representations of dynamic experiential interactions but representations of representations, ad infinitum.

yes. I've been saying this for years.
First you disconnect words from all external referents, or you use words to detach mental abstractions - interpretations, representations - from the referent - then you reattach them to other words - words referring to words - so that then you can claim that truth is a mater of power.
And what kind of power is most popular, more tolerable? Collective power.
The collective becomes creator god of reality, using words in whatever way they collectively agree to use them.

See?
Humanity - the absolute collective - is now a synonym for god.

The epitome of nihilism. The idea that one can create with words – arranged in mystifying sequences and mesmerizing incantations – what one wills.
Art of the charlatan claiming occult knowledge to conceal his profound ignorance. The one-eyed leading the blind.
Such superstitions always flourish in times of darkness when desperation and degeneracy reaches a feverish pitch and all seek hope in anything, including the absurd.
The idea that words have divine, creative power is rooted in Abrahamic dogmas.

You will find the hapless romantic idealist covered in his own symbols, reciting inappropriate words of appropriateness.
Their choice of words intent to imply what they cannot prove nor act upon, hovering between individuals like mesmerizing shadows that invite the imagination to surrender to their vacuous call - whispers echoing in Platonic caves - the vacant skulls of the listener desperate to fulfill, to fill their emptiness with substance, with value, with love - with promise.

Isn't deception part of eros?
Do lovers ever dare expose themselves totally?
If they do, then the 'magic' evaporates under the harshness of reality's light, and what is left are broken promises.
Tea cups shattering on the floor.
But does the talented lover promise anything clearly or does she imply, allowing her lover to hear her unspoken promise echoing in his head, like a heartbeat...his own.

When words Do not refer to actions, to empirical phenomena that can be perceived independently, then they must refer to text that describes, narrates, and defines them.
But postmoderns refuse to do both, rendering all words/symbols meaningless, because that's their intent.
A new Tower of Babel.
No, they accept no culpability, so they are agencies of universal intent - divine angels of godly forces - using them to bring unity to a fragmented cosmos - tikkun olam.
We know where they learned it from.
In a "fragmented world" increasing fragmentation to the breaking point, can only produce an equal and opposite psychological reaction, i.e., a desperation to belong, to unify, to immerse oneself in oneness.
Word masters, and psychological masters - feminine weapons - teaching their minions how to exploit; how to sell an idea, no matter how irrational, how superstitious, and how self-destructive; the art of selling something to someone who never needed it - he thought - convincing him that he always did need it but did not know it...yet.

No hope of communication - it's all subjective, so how can two disparate worlds, two universes communicate with each other without a shared frame of reference?
No communication increases frustration, anxiety-  they hope - increasing the potential for compromises....for submission, for capitulation.
Shared emotions are preferable.
Shared anxiety; shared fear.
The lowest-common-denominator; that which trumps all reasoning. Where fear is present reason takes a back seat.
A manimal that has lost its mind, engulfed in its terror, its anxiety, knows not any reasoning, cannot be reasoned with.
See the feminine mind at work?

****
If you thought the nihilistic method of using language to detach ideas from external referents was bad enough, this goes a step further by also detaching them from shared definitions, and common frames of reference - both tangible and intangible - so as to covert them to the perfect subjective tools of creating private realities.
A private world/universe requires a private language.
Then all these subjective private worlds can meet as "equals" - to create common ground; a shared safe space where all are respected and nobody is excluded.
A collective of gods - each with his own world - meeting to hash out a divine synagogue, and become one...finally - healing the world of its conflicts, its multiplicities, its diversities and adversities...its injustices.
Totalitarianism - peace.
See how it works?

Sometimes self-defined a-moralists have a profound yet secret, moral agenda.

How do we begin to define words?
Words being representations of mental abstraction, which, in turn, are a synthesis of internal and external data/memories.
We begin with a conventional definition - found in dictionaries - based on centuries of knowledge and understanding or populations relating to reality/environment.
Then we take this definition, represented by the word, and connect it to the world, either affirming these centuries of knowledge and understanding or challenging them, if and when they've been corrupted and have detached from the world, representing collective disillusionment and detachment from the world.
Our duty, in this case, is to reattach them to their original role, acting as mediators between consciousness and world.
We do this to return them to their meaning - to make them meaningful and not meaningless, because meaning refers to interconnectivity and inter-relations - interactivity.
In brief, words connect abstractions to actions.
Detached words connect abstractions to other abstractions, i.e., words referring to other words, rather than to deeds independent from all words.

"Deserves" is another word that has been appropriated and used in accordance with a moral standard.
It circumvents cause/effect and the fact that an action determines a reaction, or subsequent consequences.



One can argue that a reaction is not in harmony with the action that triggered it but not that there was an action - a rational, sometimes unconscious, motive which necessitating an equal and opposite reaction.

In the scene Little Bill representing Abrahamism - evident in his last words "see you in hell" - is indoctrinated by a Christian ethos - in his mind all that he did was for the "good" of his town. He wonders, in the end, why this happened to him - "I don't deserve this".
William Muney is the heathen, living outside town rules.
He replies "Deserve has nothing to do with it".
Why?
Because there is no god to determine who deserves and who doesn't. There is only causality.
Action, reaction.
In Bill's Christian mind he was doing god's work, so he deserved a better ending.
He was "building a house".
William knows this ain't true.
He knows causality requires no god.
So he answers to Bill's "hell" comment is a laconica harsh acceptance of the nonsensical.
"Yeah".

This is why I say nobody is "innocent".
Closets we get is during infancy, right after birth, when we've yet to begin our personal willful actions, in the real world.
Every action - free-willed or forced by circumstances - causes reactions - both intentional (willful) and unintentional.
Collateral effects fall under the category of unintentional, confusing them with life-less actions, as if our actions can ever be unwilled, even if they remain unconscious.
How does the saying go:
"Road to hell is paved with good intentions".
When speaking of organic actions, or the actions of living beings - from plants to humans  - we speak of willful choices, the level of willfulness (freedom) rising from the simple plant to the adult human...whether they be conscious or unconscious.

Innocence is an attempt to escape responsibility for the negative reactions to our conscious and unconscious actions, i.e., choices and the judgements they are based on.
Since we can never know the consequences of our actions we hide in innocence, claiming we did not intend them, or were not aware of their possibility.
Ignorance is now innocence.

Example:
Does a parasite know that its actions - feeding and exploiting and undermining a host - will lead to the host's death, and consequently its own?
No....it can't....and if it can it mustn't.
why?
Because if it were aware its actions would be inhibited and so its effect would suffer.
A parasite can never know, even if it can, because then its adopted survival and reproductive strategy would not be as effective - awareness would increase the probability of failure.

I place self-deciet as an evolved survival mechanism.

Would a wild ram, in rut, risk its life, to gain supremacy and access to females, if it became aware of why its impulses drive it to attack other rams and forgo feeding in preparation for the coming winter?
Would a dancer dance as elegantly if she knew the underlying sexual messages her dancing projected?
Would a woman, choosing to wear provocative clothing during her fertile cycle, become inhibited by this awareness?

'Deserve' refers to what a man expects as a reward for the good work he, believes, he is doing.
But natural selection has nothing to do with human moral and ideological standard?
This is what is referred to as "deserving".
Nature only knows cause/effect. Action/Reaction.
Since there is no reaction without an action, one can then contemplate the causes for a predicament, or a negative circumstance.
