You've pointed to other philosopher's broach to the human condition and while I'm unfamiliar w these specific terms, I 'm intimate with this milieu. Then, a Buddhist may say, in this Universal Truth, I am NOT familiar, as the "I" does not exist. As I type this thought, exactly HOW am I able to actually perform all of these human functions as there is no possible answer, because they are just words, pointing to a vast and indescribable universe of causes and conditions. Until "I" arrive with my delusional thinking, in my own Relative Truth appearance with nothing but objectification, to live each breath with peace and compassion and treat perhaps everything I sense as an intimate ally in this breath. Allies abound, all gorgeous flowers with the ground as far too brown, what have you found?

And with that, "Yes, Happy New Year, James!"
