On Being a Metaphysician
Metaphysics is the ultimate terrain of generalization: the terrain of all-encompassing principles that answer the question "what is everything about?" or "what is going on with everything?"
Therefore to be a metaphysician you have to know about everything, or given the impossibility of this a broad general body of knowledge and understanding with penetration in key fields. You need to be a polymath. There is no getting around this.
But what is important is what motivates such a diversity and rigor of curiosity: a desire to love and appreciate a great diversity of things in the world.
A true metaphysician is driven by a vast diversity of loves and passions, and the metaphysicians pursuit of many diverse loves inevitably converges towards a synthesis that mutually affirms their importance. The goal is to facilitate deeper communion with the value of one's loves.
The question of value is at the heart of metaphysics.
the pursuit of value, the pursuit of beauty is at the heart of the soul of the metaphysician.
To be successful in synthecizing diverse fields, one must love those fields with an inexorable passion.
What truly defines a metaphysician is a compulsion, an addicition to learning that joyfully and lovingly leaps from book to book, paper to paper, topic to topic ever more deeply learning to appreciate the world in its endless creative complexity. It is to tried every field as a field of artistic appreciation and utterly goon out at the grandeur and drama of existence. It is to be forever consumed by the call of The Unknown that forever seeks the depths in the cracks revealed by greater illumination.
To see divinity in the question mark.

Hello I am literally your antithesis.
I mean literally.
My whole thing is radical temporalism.
And exploring the implications of the ultimate reality of time.
I've studied the sources of this school of thought with rigorous attention.
in reality you have made yourself retarded on a metaphysical level by denying the reality of time.
Yours is a rare breed of naked temporal insanity.
Doubtlessly purified by AI psychosis.
Just ask yourself: why haven't you explored and read the major advocates of the philosophy you espouse? Because denying the reality of time and change is a philosophical issue that goes back to the Greeks.
Do you even Parmenides?
>The first, the way of "Aletheia" or truth, describes how all reality is one, change is impossible, and existence is timeless and uniform.
The question is: why are you so ignorant as to your own intellectual pedigree?
