That consciousness unfolds according to categories, or to systematic extrapolations of the pragmatic, to divine laws or self-given laws and so on, is nothing to boast about. These are essentially random ways at which it pretends to be will, pretends to a kind of sovereignty, since everywhere it looks it sees only itself and not its source. Rhetoric and persuasion is another way of naming this duality, because rhetoric, which is the mind, would have it that it is the art of persuasion, but that is exactly what it can never attain.
