insight.<

That there is purpose and beauty to us. Important to us. Important objectively, outside of the us? Existing apart from our imaginings? I doubt it, but cannot know. I am part of the us. Beauty. Seems a human fiction to me. Which is fine. We are mostly what we think we are (imo) and that changes over time, it's not a constant, and neither is beauty. But to elevate it to some supernatural plane disturbs me. Because I have no evidence of that plane. I know what I know. And that isn't what I know.

btw- I am listening to:
