"Don't give me the facts. Tell me what happened."

@CoronaCoreanici A) I'm stoned.
B) As a believer in narrativism as a form of magic, when I ask people to tell me the tale, what I want is their interpretation in as close to their internal context as they can share, so that I can try to parse it in my own native spirituality and better understand them as people as an act of devotion. Doing so is an act of love and spiritual openness for me.
C) I'm stoned.

@CoronaCoreanici Nobody lives in the world-that-is, Frame Zero. That is to say, everyone does, but nobody perceives it. Everyone's consciousnesses are made _of_ the universe, and therefore limited in what parts of the universe it can perceive. Nobody perceives the world-that-is. We all only perceive the worlds that our senses are capable of perceiving. Our contexts are inseparable from our sensoria and neural nets. Those may be changed in material, but not in phenomenology.
Shit th' buni says
@CoronaCoreanici But what is the value of replacing world-that-seems with world-that-is? Seems like that's just an erasure of the self, that which defines our uniqueness, our qualia and narratives. I'd rather seek union with and understand the qualia of others in radical intersubjectivity than ask everyone, especially me, to extinguish that spark. I want to be the truest selves I can be, not just a mouthpiece for the universe. I want to have meaning.
Shit th' buni says
@CoronaCoreanici To be sure, objectivity has a valuable place. If we can't agree on facts, we lose our ability to share meaning meaningfully. Frame Zero has to exist for intersubjectivity to have value, and understanding the matter of which we're made helps us be our truest selves better. But there is no _meaning_ in Frame Zero, or if there is we lack the means to know it directly. And it's in the meaning that life becomes more than an endurance run.
