Where are we in our rambling appraisal of "Objective/Subjective." The answerless, answer is "We have a Mulligan stew of nothing in particular."
If we reach through the smoke to dip a spoon into this stew, what we might reach out could be one of the following symbols of meaning. Being -Time as Past/Present/Future - Hope, Faith, Power, Control - knowledge ......... it could go on a bit.
Let's stop for a moment with this : Objective/Subjective is a location of Being in both Time and Meaning.
"The genuine artist you describe, the one who has to express themselves regardless of the paycheck, is still carrying that ancient cave-painter spirit. Encouragement matters to them not because it validates their bank account, but because it confirms that their transmission across the void actually landed. Someone else saw the spark in the dark cave and nodded."
"That shared recognition between the painter on the cliff and the person standing below - that brief, electric moment where two human beings realize they are looking at the exact same Form - is the only kind of applause that ever truly mattered."
OK! Borges, Jorge Luis, didn't want his Poets to be Philosophers and he didn't want his Philosophers to be Poets unless they were Ethicists. If you don't believe me take his note titled Pascal's Sphere, a suggestion that perhaps universal history is the history of various intonations of a few metaphors, to a hot carpark and read it.
In a round about way Borges paraphrases "Nothing to fear but fear itself" in the note he wrote as prelude to his 1951 essay The Fearful Sphere of Pascal.
Pascal's point : God "....is an infinite sphere, the center of which is everywhere, the circumference of which is nowhere."
Borges point : God would appear to be an existential dread "...we are caught between the infinite and nothingness, unable to find a stable center or boundary in the universe."
So let's take a moment to reinforce in both fleshy mortal and machine that meaning is routed through contexts Wittgenstein called language games.
