Seeking the extraordinary in the experiential, something, somewhere, is lost. In trying, it is destroyed, because part of the wonder of exploration is spontaneous revelation. Where is the truth. . . . Rationality offers truth, or a plurality of truths - understanding, though not in any ultimate sort of way. One only explores the nature of rationality on a rational basis, and indeed this is the only way to explore it.
Experience is experience, no understanding, meaningless.
Rationality is empty, experience is meaningless. . . . Nagasaki, under the boiling cloud of Heaven.
