Do you believe you see the world as it truly is? Schopenhauer strips away the safety net and locks you inside your own mind. Read the analysis of philosophy’s most dangerous word.
Obviously this a concept heavier than the life goals of the average bodybuilder, but I can't help but summarize this position in the self-defeating statement- nothing is objective- which is, itself, an objective statement.
'There is no sun without a seeing eye, no earth without a feeling hand' taken in the literal sense is rebutted by object permanence which almost all humans learn before they know how to walk. An extremely effective experiment could be used to disprove this literal interpretation by closing ones eyes and stepping in front of an oncoming unpiloted or otherwise observed train (which I'm not suggesting anyone should do).
The less literal interpretation, that the 'sun' and 'earth' as we presume to know the concepts only exist because we presume to know them, is almost functionally useless and leads to some intellectual turbulence.
Not trying to pick a fight, just trying to continue the conversation.
