Reply to comment by iiioiia in Logical positivism does not dispense with metaphysics, as it aimed to. It merely proposes a different kind of metaphysics, in which natural sciences take the privileged position once occupied by rationalist metaphysics. by IAI_Admin

I have some experience yes, although not with the absurdity part (other than realizing that "normal" consciousness/culture is undoubtedly and massively absurd, but that's not what you're getting at I don't think).

Are you a fan of them or a critic?

I am a fan. I am saying that I have experienced absurd levels of critical thought to the point of absurdity and it absolutely stops action.

I think the world could benefit from a sound articulation of the experience/mindset, that is approachable by (and non-offensive to) various ideologies.

Have you experienced detachment from Time?

I don't know. I've experienced extreme time dilation.
