the world is obviously rational

It's that that degree of separation from one's natural needs and fulfillments outlines the problem.

that you can understand the world

means it is rational

representations we work with are rational

And so the problem is more apparent in cubicles.

maybe you mean "sensible by human measures"

the world is intelligible, rational, why is it not?

if the representations we work with apply, that implies something

rather, the representations are a higher level of reality

what you call representations are not merely thought forms

but the metaphysical level of reality, whose perception is subjective

The world is indeed rational. We've had a pretty good track record of explaining most things we've encountered.

but then even sight is to some degree subjective, not a big deal

an irrational, chaotic world, we cannot even comprehend it

those explanations always collapse

that we can COMPREHEND AT ALL

means the world is rational

Spectacularly

it is obvious existence is order

rather than disorder

any disorder is simply in the context of a higher order

there is one reality

Even were those explanations not ultimate explanations, the mere fact of them being at all explainable hints at something.

as it is order, it is intelligible

The obvious existence is a conflict of urging. The only reason you perceive anything is when it impedes your will.

don't understand what that means

an irrational reality is inconceivable

for me at least

causation itself is rational.

for the world to be rational, the structure of thought has to be the structure of the universe.

that's obviously not true

The presentation of a coffee cup you experience is emphatically not what's out there

The intelligibility of our perceptions of a layer accessible to us of what unbeknowst to us is a multilayered universe would mean an incomplete understanding but not a baseless one.

hey

you know what guys

i just realized

we're a bunch of fucking geeks

you see it as solid, you can reach for it, pick it up but you're not seeing it for what it is. Out there is just an inconceivable matrix of probability feilds and ripples.
