BLINDMAN ONE

But vain is every attempt to make sense of anything. You silly, silly man; you supposed there was some Idea that could express this world, you supposed there was some proposition that could describe it. It is the human fallacy--all of philosophy suffers from this fallacy, and all men assume its error. The fallacy is to assume that there is sense to everything. To wish to render the world and Truth into an intelligible system is all too human. But it is just that--human--and the world as it is in-itself will never abide by it, nor be fixed into any system of thought, nor bend itself and fit itself into any intelligible system. For it is not made of the stuff of Thought at all--why, then, should it submit to the rules of Thought? To believe there is truth in human ideas is merely Man projecting his own desire that the world be comprehensible onto a very chaotic and incomprehensible world. But the world was never intelligible from the start--and you are shown to be a vain man with hallucinations sitting in your eyes.
