As I've stated elsewhere, I feel like I've got a handle on the Big Thing. The problem with that, of course, is that the Big Thing is Big. It's not actually useful in any given situation. So now I need to find all the little things that are derived from it and are actually of practical use. Um. This is why I don't debate big things anymore. I don't even debate little things that much anymore, because it's no longer a question of what Truth is, it's a question of correctly reasoning from the given Truth. Straightening out kinks in mental firehoses, in other words.
