I'd say one fact we have, but can't do much with (because it's a tautology), is "existence is." But that's only a fact under the scope of ontology.

Yes.. what if it isn’t? A big no-thing. (Enjoyable nonetheless)
Some positively charged void.
Some positively charged void.
We're back at paradox. Nothing is something otherwise we wouldn't talk about it.
If there was deeply no-thing we likely wouldn't have the foundation (cuz that's a thing) to even think about it (because thinking is a thing and nothing is a thing) much less talk about it.
Its like nothing is the absence of everything but itself and that's still something.
And for it to carry a quality, like positively charged, makes it something. Unless you were talking about me. I try to be positive

I did make reference to your name there ..
Words may just .. exist.. to conceal the void that THIS .. isn’t.
Words are essentially immaterial too, I would say.

Would not the entire conversation between null in void then? To quote Wittegnstein once more, "whatever we can't speak of we must pass over in silence."

I'll have to find the study, but there was a studym they put a bunch of people on a digital platform where they could select and vote for music. You could see what music was highly voted. At first people go with and find what they like, but over time people start opting for what's popular, and what's popular arises often out happenstance, not quality, veracity, "goodness" etc.
Most don't think for themselves.

I resort to poetry. (Not mine this btw!)
“Symbols arise from our disconnection
False idols born from our yearning
We worship the static and the sterile
The simulated harvest of perpetual consumption
A mirror gateway remains buried in our depths
Reflecting the cycles we’ve refused to perceive
It whispers of metamorphosis in the descent to the underworld”

A fact to us is a riddle to others.
Sitting at a fire listening to McKenna, this quote seems to fit this discussion.

"Well, then you look at the smörgåsbord of ethnographic possibilities and you discover this institution of shamanism. It is the institution of planner, of visionary, of manager, of large-system coordinator. That’s what it’s about. You call it magic on one level, you call it curing, you call it folk psychiatry, or weather prediction. Shamans have been involved in all of these things. But as Nicole made so eloquently the point last night: to these deep forest people it is ordinary. It is ordinary. They live in a different cultural dimension than we do. Dimensions which to us are completely value dark are to them completely transparent. And dimensions which to us are extremely rich and complex—the inner world of the nucleus of the atom, let us say—are for them totally value dark. They don’t even cognize the possibility of asking the question."
