The more essential something is for the human being, the more difficult it is to measure it.

The essence of doing something proper is dwelling. To dwell is to be in the activity, or to be the activity. The dwelling is your life and your house. To dwell should not be hard work, but at the same time it is not easy to dwell. Dwelling is being part of Cosmos and at the same time doing something proper on the Earth. That is to be the barefoot bouncer.

Human are not morally responsible for the earth, the world or the humanity. Our moral sensibility are not defined to what we see or knows, but at the same time this moral sense must have a border. An unlimeted moral sense would slowly kill the human being from inside. The idea of controll, individuall or social, is a hybris. Human will never have controll over the world. The inherent moral of mankind is not a question of controll. We will always fall short. Our moral sense will always give human a feeling of guilt or inefficacy. The expectation of controll, mastery or responsibility increases these feelings into something unsustainable.

Metaphor is an expression of the language’s inability to express the sensations we have in the brain. It is a symbolic attempt to convey sensations that are beyond human consciousness. Metaphors are iconic acknowledgments of the unchanging. The clearest thoughts are often metaphors, unfortunately. A metaphor will never exist and be preserved, if its contents was not real. No one has used metaphors better than Plato, and no one has ever strived to free himself from this use, as Plato did.

There is nothing opposite of moderation. Moderation is the balance between emptiness and optimalitation, between failure and mastery, between destruction and creation or between setbacks and progress.

The school has become a place where we ignites the dream of mastery. The pure embracement of knowledge grounds a dangerous mindset of becoming masters of the earth. This mindset is the human hybris to create a perfect society on earth through constant progression. But some knowledge are lacking from this school. The history of Icaros are not being told, the cosmology of Hildegard von Bingen is not part of the frame, Machiavellies Fortuna has vanished and gone, the Aristotelian Form is no longer the quality of the earth, not to mention the Platonic henoism of truth, beauty and justice. The problem behind over-consumption, unrestrained growth and depletion of natural resources is grounded in purified mindset of schooling.

The essence of meaning is to be in the world as human. It is not to capture (begreifen) or grab the world. The meaning unfolds in the world. It is a feeling of knowing (zu kennen) as a creative expressiv being. Part of this creativity is to feel the essence of the world. This proves itself by what human care about, when we chooses the essential from what is not worth preserving.

Funeisme is the scientific quest of turning the black box white. To reveal everything about the human life by endless descriptions of what is. We have accepted a theory of knowledge that is no longer interested in the essences, but in the informational complexety. Big data is the new oil, but Ireneo Funes died young. This scientific dead end is alien to all earlier thoughts and will expand in all directions. A superficial absolutism without separating the meaningful from the meaningless.

Truth is about what is firm and essential on earth. What is unchangeable is the mystery of the earth. The truth is part of the mystery, or; the mystery is part of the revelation of eternal truth. For instance, the revelation of Pythagorean theorem. By turning the truth away from the firm and essential, we have turned the truth against the mystery of the earth.

The scientific understandig of truth removes the phenomenon from the mystery of the earth, away from revelation and the eternal. The truth is left to describe the changing earth, expressed as probabilities. It is this kind of truth Cioran calls boaring.

Of all times, human as expressed a lot of belives, but not many truths. As more we express, the more infrequent the truth may apear.

Jørn Bjerre skriver: ”Denne uddannelsesalkymistiske tanke – at udvikling handler om at smelte teori om til praksis – er igennem hele læreruddannelsens historie blevet brugt til at sætte nytænkning i stå.”

The idea that practice is to do what we in theory is thinking, is an obstacle against new ideas and action. Theory is not alchemy. Theory can not turn lead into gold, bring human into paradise, make human immortal, or turn practice into a unchangeable existence.
