This sort of epistemic humility gesturing is similar to the rhetorical rejection of power by prospective popes, "i'm not worthy" etc. - a ritualized display of conventional virtues that means nothing. In practice these people claim to know the essence of the world all the same

as i get older i realize the biggest epidemic is dudes with no real identity
if running gets cool they become runners. if tattoos get cool they cover themselves in tattoos. if being sober trends they become born again monks, mullet, coffee snob, golfer, carnivore, cowboy, whatever the algorithm tells them
whole personality built out of social contagion
thats why these dudes get smoked at everything. everyone can smell the fraud
no weight behind anything they do because none of it came from their soul. just trend hopping
be something real even if its ugly

A significant reason that Christianity is false, also a significant reason it is popular and enduring, is that it lets you spiritually bypass the process of dialectic.
It claims the answers matter more than the questions. This is false, and it falsely elevates rote pablum into an idol far more spiritually noxious than even the most lurid animist fetish-totem.
The process of dialectic is sacred. Every incomplete answer builds up the eye of the soul and propels it towards the truth. When you subject man to an imposed authority which, if it doesn't punish dialectic, at the least strongly claims that it is irrelevant and unnecessary to the health of the soul, THAT is when you get the confusion and the "backslide down the other side of the mountain" you describe.

You get super powers when you read the ancient pagans debating things endlessly and they all have extremely great points really but then you realize Jesus calls a ball or a strike and you can say oh thank God that is settled. Praise be to God. Reading pagans is extremely useful for evangelism and pulling people out of the waters. And in the upcoming confusion many will fall back precisely into the pagan ways of the before times just like someone might reach the top of a mountain and come back down on the other side, so by reading the pagans you can see the future of the United States of America.

"It is a well-known feature of Latin literary history that, as far as we know, from the beginning to the end not one of its important figures, whether poets or prose writers, hailed from the city of Rome."

'masculine' posting is about either how much weight you can lift after your girlfriend cucks you or videotaping literal play-time where you're pretending to die like a gay blade runner

Nothing here more boring than braindead edgelordian decrepit, anemic nihilist peddlers of Judeo-Nietzschean epic bacon atheism recycled as crypto-Nazism, homos who long for Sodom and Gomorrah. Who think that being a whore is the most vulnerable and authentic thing you can be.

The spiritualization of matter is also erotic, sexual, because the tangible body becomes the spirit itself, and the spirit feels and discovers (reveals) itself, as Solovyov describes this process as the gradual union or marriage of Heaven and Earth.
