Great article! I’m not much of a philosophy guy beyond the early Greek stuff, so it’s a little rough waters for me to maneuver. That said, I do find these concepts intriguing, and worthy of examination. I wonder if Kant was completely wrong or partially, the idea of co-creating collectively doesn’t seem insane to me personally. Just a thought, feel free to trounce it if you disagree.
Thank you! No he wasn’t completely wrong. I think that’s what makes him a so dangerous. The notion of co-creating without metaphysical grounding is (in my opinion the gnostic lie) making us creators replacing God, versus recognizing there’s absolute truth and creating within those boundaries. It doesn’t require someone believes in God, but to believe we completely create reality is where things get hairy.
Ok. Thank you for clearing that up for me. I stumbled upon Gnosticism around the chaos of Covid & found the ideas very intriguing initially, but I also can’t help seeing the groundwork being laid for these ideas through hollywood in particular, which should give anyone pause & certainly does for me.
