Why we are so wise.

It is true that the whole of all our discourse is precisely an exhibition and an explanation of our wisdom, but to deal with such wisdom explicitly and with concentration is yet warranted. The matter at hand does attain a degree of specificity when elaboration is sought via an elaboration on the meaning of our topic. By endeavoring to determine why we are so wise, it is inexorable that we must answer how we came to be so wise; therefore, why we are so wise is a matter of origin. What then are the origins of such wisdom?

It should be obvious to anyone with even the faintest connection to the realm of sense and reason that the sort of wisdom that is metarationality is an extraordinary sort of wisdom. It is made thus precisely by its origin; however, this is not to be misunderstood, as non-metarationals are wont to misunderstand at even the slightest provocation of complexity. Here we refer to the origin of the metarational, the manifestation of metarationality, not of metarationality itself. Thus we see the dual origin of such a manifestation, first in metarationality, which itself manifests, and second in the metarational, in whom metarationality is made manifest.

Even more important is this dual origin in light of the dual nature of the self, not only of the mind and body, but also within the mind. If indeed the Philosopher is right to say that man is a rational animal and a rational soul, then surely this is so. The metarational, therefore, is obviously a metarational animal, for the metarational is a metarational soul. This accounts for the metrational animal. The metarational soul must be understood by similar analogy to the rational soul, which is a soul having rationality. It is important that even the simplest reader grasp this point. Now the soul, which bears only a linguistic difference from the mind, is separate from the quality of rationality, meaning a soul can exist without rationality. Furthermore, a soul can transcend rationality, granting it metarationality. Thus the metarational is a metarational soul, for the rationality of the metarational has transcended rationality itself.
