I am Stupid

About I am Stupid

Embrace humility by seeing the paradoxes inherent to human nature. Overcome nihilism and doomerism with an understanding of philosophical idealism. This framing requires fewer assumptions than standard physicalism/materialism, and provides more intuitive insight into some of life's greatest mysteries. Why is humility so important? Why is utopianism so dubious? Let's explore the limits of consciousness and learn to take back sovereignty of our story and our soul.

   68. Can Idealism be Orthodox? - FDA, Jay Dyer

   Fr. Deacon Ananias and Jay Dyer were kind enough to take a look at my project. They didn't answer all my questions, but I think they've done enough to convince me I should drop the "idealism" label. It was a little frustrating that they spent most the time straw manning my position, but still super helpful overall. Fr. Dn.
