Now we are even after your high quality twin peaks/coil post, might even enjoy that clip again now I've reminded myself.
Couldn't agree with you more, that not understanding something is totally fine, and there is a value in being aware of the fact too.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but for me The Fall's music is a example that comes to mind. I don't know if I like it, but I know it's good.
For some reason I only attribute this awareness of uncertainty as being a positive with matters of subjectivity (which is possibly correct), like the unfilled sense you can feel after leaving a prestigious art gallery. For example, what benefits would there be from not understanding how gravity works?
I suppose until now I'd considered philosophy as an academic (being objective) subject, maybe from a secondary school context, so to not 'get it' would be incorrect.
But I guess you've made me realise it's a proposal that can't really be disproved, like art, thus being subjective.
What I'm failing to say is, you've made me realise I shouldn't feel bad for not 'getting' these philosophical heavyweights. Thank you.
