Something I think I’ve settled on:
When we make mention of/reference to “the world,” we are implying that (those things, systems, structures, beliefs, etc.) which we are not questioning at the present moment.
This was something I jotted in my journal 2 months ago. And today, I opened up Schopenhauer’s book, “The World as Will and Representation, Vol. 1.,” and what’s the first sentence he’s written:
“The world is my representation”
… how appropriate. Schopes, you feel me, dawg. (Ninja, please).
