greetings epicmafia community,

I think we need a good discussion on noumena.

According to Immanuel Kant, our mind is limited to knowledge of phenomena, those that exist in time and space, related through cause and effect, and have properties to be experiences. However, noumena seem to be common all throughout history, Plato's Theory of Forms being an example. Of course, Kant claimed God and the occupation of our minds are both also noumena, making me wonder: how do I become a noumenom, beyond comprehension of human knowledge and unpredictable or measurable by means of human logic? I am not asking how to be a god, I just want to be cool and bring out my inner mystery such that no one, not even my parents or society, would ever understand me.

You will never be a noumenon because that is the exact opposite of what you are right now. These things are mutually exclusive. Unless someone from the noumenon world/dimension/non-existence comes and brings them with you (although to them they'd probably be phenomenon and YOU would be nomenon to them), you can't be like that.

Ok Imma shut up now and return to this thread after I've actually read something of Kant.

i mean someday maybe, but then i've read snippets of kant since too, and dude's categorical imperative is kinda dumb

i tried to read the critique of pure reason like probably 6 or 7 years ago and did not get past the first page, but i have never forgotten the words 'propaedeutic' and 'apodictic', which slew me
