A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Our major conclusions are the following. First of all, although the correspondence theory may give an adequate definition of truth, it needs to be supplemented if we want to know how it is possible for such a truth to be acquired in practice.
Ultimately, Aristotle and Thomas desire a theory of truth that will be the cornerstone for explanatory interpretation. Thomas adds to this the application of the theory to events wherein things conform to mind, that is, to events wherein man is in creative transformation of his world.
Thomas (and, to a lesser extent, Aristotle) is also interested in establishing truth as a moral ideal of interpersonal relations, a virtue toward which we should strive if we are to achieve our basic humanity.
The Zen view of truth, on the other hand, has a distinctively different orientation. Rather than explanatory interpretation, Zen is interested in descriptive interpretation. Rather than governing the transformation of nature, the Zen Buddhist tries to be the agent of nature. Rather than setting a moral standard to live up to, the Zen Buddhist achieves his humanity by letting go of external standards of value and by becoming more spontaneous.
In the final analysis, therefore, the Western philosophers stipulate a tension between man and world: as Thomas put it, the mind must conform to things and things to the mind. Harmony is achieved through mutual adaptation.
Zen philosophy, on the other hand, stipulates an essential unity: the tension between man and world is the result of egocentric delusion. If we destroy that delusion, man’s activity—his thinking and his doing— becomes just an expression of nature itself.

With Chivo, we see agnosticism turn to nihilism.
Only persons can afford to be nihilists.
But can they?
It is an illusion that we can afford to be nihilists.
We can’t.
The Trump phenomenon is the result of nihilism.
