The ground floor according to him was just non rational urging. Consciousness and later, thinking, are just grades of will so that it can better meet those urges
Of course he had his little judgement that this is all horrible and so we needed to stop existing altogether by ending craving
everything is alive
i think most of religion is discerning this will
I AGREE
UNION BETWEEN INTUITION AND THE ORDER OF NATURE
BACK TO PLATO
SCHOPENHAUER'S POINT ABOUT URGES WAS THE MOST PEOPLE PURSUE MATERIAL URGES LOOKING FOR MEANING

it's all autism over Being. You can say there's some ground floor or whatever but if human history is anything to go by we can't make heads or tails of what that is.

WHO IS "WE"?
SOME CAN
THE OTHERS INJECT CHAOS
You and I
TO TRY TO JUSTIFY THEIR OWN DESIRES
I DO NOT THINK WE ARE THAT DIVIDED, OR THAT LOST

blah blah Dionysus
WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO SEE PATTERNS IN THE WAVES
Blah blah Apollo
THIS IS NOT A LIFE ALONE IN A VOID OF DATA
WE ARE IN FACT AWASH IN IT
THE QUESTION IS PATTERN RECOGNITION
I honestly don't even know what we are talking about at this point
that's why I left the conversation
I was looking at pants on amazon instead, at least that is remotely helpful to my life
We started talking about attitudes and the contents of books but our abstractions grew tentacles of their own and slithered into murky Eldritch swamps
NOT AT ALL
