I suggest that delving into philosophy that is not practical is at the
very least a waste of time…entertainment at best.

When searching for universals, until one can know the innate divine
forms found within us all… all else is but a cyclical set of random
and meaningless dream-like activities.

So, in this sense, one must know what it is to be a human being before
the rest is knowable.
