It will get better, I’m sure. This is a day reminiscent of my mid-teen years, when the first person who might have understood WTF I was thinking about…lived in the Netherlands. The problem with Dooyeveert and his Modal Philosophy as was, was that there were too many holes, too many unanswered questions. A series of statements about a regular representative system that is meant to correspond to an irregular system has some integral problems, which means examining the irregularities first. The irregularities can arise from many sources; most of them arise from the system of description meant to bridge from irregular to regular (which involves first and foremost the assignment of relevance, and then some other critical [presumably core, or integral] aspects, for which language <or any other representative system, by necessity> doesn’t exist.
That’s the real reason I left college, this second time.
Surely, assuredly, I must be mistaken. Surely.
