# philosophical notion of insubstantialism the in-scene notion by big scientists that almost everything in the /human world feels as if it's constructed of little but cheap damp cardboard and duct tape or that it might as well be - that virtually nothing humans make is ever truly strong or substantial that (say) in the event of an attack by the rotten flesh-eating blue ash-grey faced undead all of it turn out to be as useful and protective as a 70's bead curtain in a charity shop be warned dear researcher - once one starts to view all things as insubstantial often there's no end to it everything soon starts to look like a house of slightly damp wee-smelling playing cards in a cosmic scale hurricane of course the radial root of such a troubling feeling lies in the ultimate buddhistic realty of non-dual zen-voidness // republic of bob
