                                     All explanations are cover ups for ignorance;

regarding the physical world --  this is not true;
therein does thought & speech fulfill their basic purpose by the
constant proffering of explanations,
for it is ultimately through such that man is able to rearrange his physical environment to his improved accommodation,
but the smallest step into his mentally derived second reality,
and all explanations for what is going on there are out & out cover ups for ignorance.
 

A man in need of food would be a fool not to heed explanations of plant cultivation,
but he becomes an even greater fool when he hearkens to
any explanation of any non tangible matter.
 

Explanations of material matters can result in actual & beneficial change,
while explanations of intangible affairs can never result in anything
substantively meaningful.
 

Men are not given to offering explanations concerning the physical world
without solicitation,
whereas everyone is anxious and always prepared to give
their explanation of any matter on which hands cannot be laid,
(this is why agriculturists are paid more than priests,
engineers better than psychologists, [leastwise in über rational universes]).
 

Explanations of things in the physical world usually cost,
while explanations of things in man’s mental/spiritual/cultural world
are free as can be --  they are in fact forced on you (if you are not nimble).
 

Normal unlearned men will readily confess their ignorance of material affairs
(vide: mechanics, electronics, physics, farming),
but will not admit so regarding: god, morality, reality, metaphysical truth.
 

When it comes to things which men cannot physically hand to one another –
                                    everyone can explain the thing;
everyone in the world has an explanation for it  --
                                   and no one in the world understands it.
An ordinary, sane mind will thoroughly refute this blanket statement,
and immediately identify itself as an exculpatory example.
To be of ordinary and sane thought is to believe that to varying degrees
you do understand what is going on in the unique, non physical realm
about which most of man’s speech is devoted.
 

Once watering a field is explained --  that’s the end of it,
but explaining god, death, evil, stupidity (country music) is never ending;
why does not that fact alone suggest something quite telling to you
regarding man’s routine mental & vocal life?!
 

If you are ignorant about mining and yet offer explanations there of --
you will readily be found out,
but you can present explanations about anything at all in man’s intangible reality
and never have your ignorance uncovered (even to yourself);
your explanation may be countered by someone else’s explanation,
and they may accuse you of being ignorant in the matter,
but they are as ignorant as you, and there exists no objective act by which
ordinary minds can perceive true ignorance;
they indeed wrangle over their explanations, but none are capable of recognizing that anyone’s explanation of any subject unique to man,
that has no tangible reality is a vacuous, moot, meaningless, hubba-hubba explanation;
none mean anything --  and any are as good as the next.
 

Anyone who offers to explain man’s intangible, spiritual, cultural world to you
has no understanding at all of what life is about;
                                      you don’t know  --   they doesn’t know,
                     for if they did, they would not be presenting “explanations.”
 
 
 

In the realm unique to man:
all explanations are cover ups for ignorance –
                                           a fact of which, all explainers are ignorant;
 

it is questionable whether life itself could explain what is going on –
                           that’s why it keeps its mouth shut.
