Reply #3: Well, it blew me away, too!

That could be the point ;) Being blown away by any idea or concept is about ideas and concepts acting upon themselves and, perhaps, freeing us from a comfortable and convincing prison that, for the sake of comfort and safety, helps us get by with minimal pain and ostracism in a social sense, while divorcing us from what is most essential and meaningful about being.

What a trade-off/predicament, yet here we are. We should give-up, as J. Krishnamurti said, trying to measure our own mental health by ways of comparing it to a sick and unhealthy society. That pursuit could be more insane than insane if you continue along that route too long. Being unsane seems more reasonable these days. If you can postulate and comprehend a society that has gone, or is close to being totally insane, while still continuing to decided and dominate what sanity is, it is not at all difficult to discern your own place and necessary reaction to such a situation. Yes, it may be a case where the true nuts have taken over the insane asylum and then continue to do what people in that situation do: draw us into their reality in often charismatic ways and convince us that it is reasonable, that we are a part of it, and then determine what we should think, do and believe. That's the path and the problem we are facing, all of us.

I mean, if we get to the point that there is no map and there is no territory, that would also have a great impact for those who understand the nature of subjective versus the idea of the objective. That was meant to be a hyperbolic contrast.
