Cultivating what we should call not transcendental consciousness, but transcended consciousness, the true epokhê in the school of Pyrrho and Hume, we realize the following.
That the formal mathematics and formal philosophy projects and the philosophy developed in our paper Analyticity, Computability and the A Priori are themselves perfectly legitimate forms of transcendental philosophy and neutral superpositivism.
That the purpose of life is to die well, finis vitae bene mori.
Transcended consciousness is not only the power of being beyond time and its manifold constructions, but to have the liberty and freedom to concretely imagine and to virtually live consequences and alternative possibilities and to change perspective regarding a given contingent time.
Thus desire is dissolved by the simple transcendental consideration of: what if I had that which I am now desiring? Thus the taking-for-granted, the masking, of the good and blessings we have in the present and the twisted mirage of having a better past are dissolved by the recognizing that we will almost always live in our past, in the golden age, relative to the total temporality of our life.
Thus we may long to live again in the world before the advent of LLMs. But if we had the total perspective of how the world will change in our lifetime, we would have greater appreciation of living in the precise present that is present to us.
