       @yohan @utz step 1: decide if you like metaphor or deduction better. if metaphor, you should immediately start reading Hegel or Heidegger or some other big-name German guy. if deduction, you must immediately start reading the collected works of Hilary Putnam. step 2: find other people with the same flavour of metaphysitis to read/debate/get into interminable arguments over minutiae and footnotes with. occasionally, conversation with others will lead to an insight into the material/your own reckonings that will prove useful, but 99% of the time it we be futile communication bordering on completely asemic grunting at each otherstep 3: repeat the previous steps until you die

       @yohan @utz i just took ten milligrams of melatonin, so this explanation is going to be brief, but basically it's the difference between eating a delicious full fat breakfast with crepes etc and drinking soylent. but as you can see I am metaphor brained so I am biased
