Reality is radically polysemic. Much more is given than can be taken in.

The givens of media arrive abstracted from reality. They afford far fewer interpretations. Mediated truth is a shadow of reality.

To form new common sense we must return to reality. Squabbling over incommensurable abstractions only leads to common nonsense.

Note, May 10, 2025 : “Squabbling over incommensurable abstractions only leads to common nonsense.” If only it were common nonsense. Far from it. We are factionalized into conflicting nonsensical belief-systems. Each faction believes its nonsense should be universally accepted as true. The nonsense is noncommon.

Squabbling over incommensurable abstractions only leads to noncommon nonsense.

“Common nonsense” sounds better, though.
