The neoplatonic 9th century monk Dun Scotus's doctrine of hylomorphism - which he called haecceinty - was a medieval anticipation of the Aristotelian Aquinas's materia signata quantitate.
This makes it clear enough that the medieval mind had an interest in the material knowledge of things -as had the Greeks - and only lacked the "facts" of quantum theory.
Haecceinty is analogous to Heidegger's "thingness", which is itself a move away from the material-minded Enlightenment!
The implication is that the facts of a material universe may not satisfy the cravings of will and destiny. Thingness can be related to a cosmos of psyche, whereas matter can't.
The pursuit of matter since Galileo has done without psyche in the pursuit of "reality", or the universe seen through the lens of a perspective vision (P56).
The real problem with this approach is that facts can be a type of nothingness, as one continually approaches the vanishing-point of technique (sun, Apollo, ego P178).
One seems to enter a mathematical universe where coffee and haircuts are the order of the day, and nothing happens (no action.)
Action is the missing quality in this universe of facts in that we on Earth are spinning through the void and experiencing the seasons and fertility. In other words, fact is not a priori but fertility is.
Fertility is the tantalizing spinning of the Chinese Dragon, a story popularized by Lao Tzu in the classical era. Instead of logic, fertility proposes strength. Instead of information derived from a perspective system (of lenses P56), information is valued and verified by belief in strength.
This is a very tribal notion, and is mirrored in the ancient Greek dichotomy of Dionysus and Apollo.
A universe of action has pace so therefore one's view of the universe is seen through the medium of pace - the stars at night.
The patterns in the night sky are allusions to the stories told by the ancients. Stories are allusive and not factual.
The simplicity of this is alluring in that it represents the view of the general - as opposed to the particular of inductive reason (from Newton.) Well-being and rigour are dynamic and self-governing in this primeval situation (and setting.)
However, as noted in P178, techniques are convincing and produce results in resolved space (electromagnetic gadgets such as drills, information such as DNA).
Yes, but a belief in fact negates both pace and the allusive (or literary) meaning of the cosmos. Human beings could live to be older in a negative-zone of pure fact.
This could be the mistake of a material universe, in the sense that matter is an illusion. The truth is proportionate, and soothes the psyche with ease of access to places of power.
The poetic vision of the universe cannot have technical certainty, which is an illusion, but has the strength of belief in dynamic fertility.
The Hyborian cults - as described by Yaple, prev - are gross and curious - and that is their strength. A world of infinite facts invites the ego to a mirror of nothingness, where sameness replaces the vitality of difference.
A world of differences exists like a type of low-level feuding (see W11) which mirrors the vitality of nature in-the-field. Problems are solved through the drama of the situation. The rewards are the harvest and the open range.
These rugged aspects of healthy living are negated by a society of information in an illusory world of sameness. The problem with these information-theories is that they will.inevitability produce sameness instead of the vitality of difference. The theories attract the ego of acolytes so that the system is inevitably run by acolytes.
This makes a nonsense of race theories advanced by academics! The real problem is that the theories imply a certain type of head is needed to run society. The same type that runs Silicon Valley, natch.
In fact, differences are strong and produce strong societies. Psychic sureness as opposed to weakness of psychic indecision and delusion.
