A long time ago I used to work in roofing. I had a shit that would ride up my lower back (thankfully my pants held up, it just showed my back lol). After this long day in the sun, I felt this odd pain on my lower back. I got a fuckin sunburn. Ever since then, I've known solipsism can't be true because I didn't expect getting sunburned on my lower back.

Now, of course I was young and dumb so to me that was very powerful argument lol but as I've grown older the natural world has only been more surprising and unexpected and same with people. From a place of sincere humility - there is 0 chance any of this comes from within me somewhere, I am not that clever or smart. I could accept that perhaps I am a brain in a vat but the world of experience is definitely not a lie I'm telling myself

Is it not apropos that the divine and profound should be found in the profane?
