It is interesting that you should bring Greek Mythology into the discussion with the mention of "Sisyphus" and maybe the need to learn from his punishment, dished out by Zeus is in order...yes?Yes, saddening. Disappointing, even. On several levels.
By differentiating between i and I, right there is a fundamental epistemic assumption.
As proven by Unity, I am Quantum Quack. Quantum Quack does not have his own 'i' that is separate and distinct from any other, nor does Ik, nor does anyone that exists now or has ever existed in the history of Mankind.
No obfuscation. Rather, Truth. Indeed, what's worst of all is that I, the Mathematician, will not be satisfied with the true explanation, of course. I must suffer the most horrible Self-inflicted punishment - just like Sisyphus - of chasing after an explanation for a number that I created in hopes of an explanation that rules out that I, Myself, created it and I, Myself, am that number.
What a shame that I am unable to come to terms with this most simple, irrefragable conclusion of Unity.
Wisdom, humility, and reflection? My Brother, coming to terms with who and what I am requires the deepest and ultimate Self-reflection I can have in the Universe. It is the most humbling, awe-inspiring, ineffable experience. And, because it occurs only through the first person perspective, an admonishment of lack of humility is ironic. Likewise with wisdom.
And indictment? Theory proves that I cannot help but indict My Self. Were I not to do just this, the theory would be false.
Finally, Self-destructive? Yes, indeed. The final theory destroys the entire edifice. It could be no other way.
Fair winds.
Peace,
Ik
The problem with this "I" business is that every self animated entity in this universe from bull-ant to blow-fly to elephant to mankind have the same competing "I" and yes of course this competition "the war of the Gods " has been going on for eternity and will no doubt continue as it inevitably must. [ re: God complex - re: Will to power by Friedrich Nietzsche ]
The question then is for you to answer:
What makes your "I" which is the same "I" as every one elses any better or worse other than as I said rational. reason, humility and wisdom. [ note we are only taking about that which the intellect deals with and not what say, the mortality of your heart, hands and feet have to deal with.
So what makes Ik's "I" the superior "I"? hmmmm.
"I" am interested in your response...?
