I hate to be that guy but it is prob both true that - the ancients did not have an “inner world” in the way that we think they did - they had better lives as a result and retardmaxxing is the wrong solution to the right diagnosis Try this 10 second exercise, you’ll see what I mean. Look at your phone/laptop and answer the question “what is this object” WITHOUT using any words. You should start to feel a tingling at the back of your head, maybe even a sense of anxiety. Do this for a day* and you will understand - Plato - Genesis chapter 2 / John chapter 1 - early Wittgenstein - basic angelology - Lana del Rey - why Guenon/Evola hated fascism - why psychedelics are stupid - why Kant is a bastard who should be put on trial for the murder of philosophy and every patriot should spit on his grave There’s a lot of evidence that this is the default state of the ancients, unmediated by the post-Industrial excess of information/categories. So when Marcus Aurelius tells you he’s sad, he’s probably experiencing something very different from you and me. * heads up if do this for > 1 week you will genuinely go insane. speaking from partial experience. would not recommend
