A profound text, well written in clear language. For this very reason, it leads us to look for answers that, I believe, no science other than philosophy can try to give us.

"Biologically, we're our bodies and, especially, our brain and nervous system".

Biologically, we are a mass of tubes, pipes, blood, water, food, urine and faeces, malevolently created in this world as slaves of sorcery that forces us to grow and multiply. Everything else, our brain and the nervous system included, are necessary appendages to fulfil our destiny.

"And we ignore that fact, distracting ourselves with inane entertainments and with the minutiae of our jobs that often trap us into wasting our time rather than making the most of our skills and interests".

Is philosophizing also part of the minutiae of our jobs? Or can it give us the best of our skills? But it seems that it can be part of our interests and be part of the minutiae of our jobs.

Therefore, understanding what you say in this way, am I like a snake eating itself by the tail?
