Hopeless realism
Generally speaking, across history, in societies, cultures, even civilizations, humans reveal themselves to be beyond solution.

One’s Residences
One’s physical location…
One’s society…
One’s body…
One’s psyche…
One’s self…

Calendars of History: BAI, AAI
Before AI.
After AI.
“Seeing is believing” (images and even videos) will now diminish in veracity, reliability and trust.

Levels of Historical Reality

January 9, 2024. Trump and lawyers after Immunity claim hearing. An individual, in essence empty, but able and willing to say and spout anything – even if he contradicts himself from an hour before – has still serious national and international attention, aside from the those who are of a mentality such as to not (have) notice(d) the obvious, and to continue to support him.
Is this the level on which “History” happens? Trump, on any serious intellectual level, is in reality unworthy of the attention of other than gossips and tabloids. And yet, this is the level on which “history” in America, and still in someways in the world, is happening.
As I have said, for decades: homo insapiens*. And as can be seen: History en masse of a foolish creature.

“Evangelical Christians”?
That which passes for “evangelical Christian” is in deeper realities bad news for Christianity… more cacoangelicals.
In such contexts “evangelical” is more realistically treated as a political ideology than a religious moral belief system.

Psychologization of World
Rather than finding the World in their selves, many tend to find their selves in the World. Especially “Jungians”.
Aka: solipsism. But “individualism” and “politeness” allows such a mass motley to be less clear, noted, and troubling.

Transacademic
Concluded facts of academia’s humanities are surpassed by existential-ontic truths.

Great books. Great lives?
How many or few live lives to find “the great books” biographical comparisons, companions and/or guides?
-
Peak experiences?

While there are peaks in and of experience, most lives are lived in the valleys, if at times in the foothills. Aside from the fact that many people don’t like heights.
And for moderate example Goethe said we must return to the valleys for our normal lives. But Goethe was not as Faustian as Faust in his Faust.
