Greetings,
Here's a dangling RMP quote to study until you agree with me:
"Men invent responses to Quality, and among these responses is an understanding
of what they themselves are. You know something and then the Quality stimulus
hits and then you try to define the Quality stimulus, but to define it all
you've got to work with is what you know. So your definition is made up of what
you know. It's an analogue to what you already know. It has to be. It can't be
anything else. And the mythos grows this way. By analogies to what is known
before. The mythos is a building of analogues upon analogues upon analogues.
These fill the collective consciousness of all communicating mankind. Every
last bit of it."
(RMP,ZMM, Chapter 28)
