aligning your actions with reality, with truth, is the most radical thing anyone can do.

to do so implies surrender to an order external to your own subjective experience.

call that external order anything you want: God, the universe, logos, a flying spaghetti monster

makes no difference.

you either acknowledge that order doesn’t come from within, or you think it does.

the former logically valid

the latter logically invalid

there is your stupid/genius line

for as advanced as we like to think modern man is, at least the pagans knew they weren’t gods.
