Let's call it the "BULLSHIT".
Why not. But it can be confusing.

Given that your average 6th grader knows far more about the universe
than he ever did why in hell should I read Plotinus??
You betray that you take the universe for bullshit.

But you just did.
You actually did, but I guess you will not grasp this.
Anyway by bullshit I mean (using your term) the fundamental reality,
and you betray that you believe in the bullshit "the physical
universe", without being aware that it is a theological (bullshitical,
if you insist) assumption.
You seem to confuse physics and physicalism.
It looks like according to you we just have no right to raise doubts
on the Aristotelian Primary Matter notion.
Terms like God, Universe, Everything, ... are fuzzy and refer to not
easy notions. But assuming comp, we get definitions, and
metadefinitions which can point openly toward an object or a person
without naming it, and we get notably an arithmetical interpretation
of Plotinus' theology, which you might appreciate if really, until
now, you thought that God meant only the christian one. In occident
(free scientific) theology has stopped at the 6th century, and at the
11th century in the Middle east ("stopped" in the mainstream, by
political pseudo-religion). (by "free" here I mean "non confessional").
As long as quasi rationalist like you mock the theological field, and
prevent seriousness there, it will remains in the end of the bullshit
vendors.

PS I think I will come back to the term "god" as it is less confusing
than "bullshit", to refer to the unknown cause or reason of why we are
here.
