Reality Thinking Recognition

More From Hugh Hefner

. . . what humanity most desperately needs is not the creation of new worlds but the recreation in terms of human comprehension of the world we have -- and it is for this reason that arts go on for generation to generation in spite of the fact that phidias has already carved and homer has already sung. the creation, we are informed, was accomplished in seven days with sunday off, but the recreation will never be accomplished because it is always accomplished anew for each generation of living men.

The western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. it is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.

There is a great difference, whether the poet seeks the particular for the sake of the general or sees the general in the particular. from the former procedure there ensues allegory, in which the particular serves only as illustration, as example of the general. the latter procedure, however, is genuinely the nature of poetry; it expresses something particular, without thinking of the general or pointing to it.

Reality became for me a problem after my experience with lsd. before, i had believed there was only one reality, the reality of everyday life. just one true reality and the rest was imagination and was not real. but under the influence of lsd, i entered into realities which were as real and even more real than the one of everyday. and i thought about the nature of reality and i got some deeper insights.
Real Imagination Everyday
Reality's its own thing. and i'm not really into reality that much. i'm into this cinematic stylized reality that can comment on reality. it's like the most beautiful parts of reality and the saddest parts, but it's none of this middle ground.
Beautiful Reality Middle
This is an important distinction, because most of the modern philosophies that deny that we can know reality, and ultimately truth, make the mistake of constructing epistemological systems to explain how we know reality without first acknowledging the fact that we do know reality. after they begin within the mind and find they can't construct a bridge to reality, they then declare that we can't know reality. it is like drawing a faulty road map before looking at the roads, then declaring that we can't know how to get from chicago to new york!

Did either the nonexistent or the measured response after a series of attacks on americans the past decade - in lebanon, africa, saudi arabia, new york, and yemen - suggest to our terrorist enemies that it was wrong and unwise to kill reasonable and affable people, or did the easy killing imply that self-absorbed and pampered lotus-eaters would not much care who or how many were butchered as long as it was within reasonable numbers and spread out over time?
