How Do You Know What It's Like to Be Here Now?
There are four types of knowing: propositional, procedure, prospectival and participatory. The most fundamental is the participatory because if you don't have that, the other ons can't work. And traditional religions cared a lot more about those other peas than they did about what it's like to be in your own head right? They cared much more about knowing how to be and what it’s like to be yourself - which has its own kind of protestant diction. That gives you a sense of belonging,. When it goes wrong, you can fall into a sort of pseudo-religion of ideology.
