4 Selves:
1. There is a stage where people realize they are zombies. The landscape encapsulates everything. Humanity (or whatever it is) grows empirically to believe what it has experienced is important. It need only do so much.
2. When it rises above being a zombie, it is still dependent, it needs something to be dependent on. This dependence is what forms an experience. From this comes the supposedly. The supposedly is good, it gives us something to talk about.
3. We have supposedly. We're uncertain of ourselves. Supposedly is something that lacks sophistication, lacks certainty. So, we talk about drugs, we're also talking about being a zombie, which is existing on a landscape. However, really now we're talking about our drugs. This means we must speak in a sophisticated fashion. We now borrow from psychologists, to be grown up, not civilized. Well, it could be civilized too. The thing is, you're arguing, you're debating, you have the rational thing on the table, so now you have agency.
4. Now there is an additional move that that is basic, not that it could be, but there is some additional clever argument. The clever argument is also clever, and it means things. We do not say whatever it is in the ordinary sense or not. It doesn't matter, only now it does, only now it doesn't. The point is it is not about the debate. We get this with Jung almost, but we also get this with the Nathanian Curve. It might look less or more sophisticated, but it wins. As far as the environment, it only matters if it wins. But it keeps adding things. It wins in multiple ways. It wins in a very clever way, it wins in universal ways. It could be wrong in basic ways. This is the Nathanian Curve.
