What did he mean by this

The nature of the real is so horrifying that annihilation as escape is the only desirble outlet at its encounter

>The nature of the real is so horrifying
Can you expand on this a little
Because then you can understand how dumb it is to wish that, thus "beginning."
>>8669890
No, as the real is inherently beyond the scope of language
>>8669892
Also this

How can you, specifically, claim to understand something if you can't describe it then
You can begin to understand when you have nothing to lose
>>8669905
Because like a black hole that can not be witnessed directly but apparent in the absent of light, it appears in the negative spaces of our inadequate attempts to imaginatively comprehend the world
>>8669905
You don't have to understand the internal components of the system, but simply the conception of the system itself. The actuality of reality is completely incomprehensible without the subjective imbuing it with "sense."
>>8669918
You can describe a black whole with mathematics and language though.
>>8669881
The beginning of understanding starts with you stripping away all externalities and constructed meaning that has been imposed upon you.
What is left is a void, one where a common response is the Will to Death.
But towards the end of understanding one finds this response unsuitable. As the Will to Death is arguably just as flawed as the Will to Life one is escaping from.
The sign of the ending of understanding is characterised by the drive towards authentic existence and an overcoming that transcends both a wish to live and a wish to die.

I admire you would take the time to explain the concept of the Real to simpleton/s.

He meant that cognition is more than an ultimatum of sensations.
>>8669933
that's only a relative definition, a simple categorization.
>>8669985
No, it's a literal definition understood by our species. Are you an alien or higher being that transcends our understanding of reality?
>>8669905
every representation is a mediation. you can only filter out so many noise channels.
>>8670013
the point is language cant describe things we cant understand you nigger
read wittgenstein
>>8670034
Not more than a few posts ago you claim that we cannot describe black holes, literally contradicting what you just said.
>>8669881
It's some disposable existential quote that belongs on a school girls journal or a (black) t shirt.
