It is perverse to identify as consciousness as the empty container of all experience devoid of any character or selfhood. Philosophical thinking pushes in this direction following its notions of logic and truth, and paradoxical thinking and bad poetry finishes the job. Even if such a realisation were achievable here is no point in it if is not at the same time deeply subjective, if it doesn't take up and complete what we know imperfectly as ego. It would just be to cancel yourself out, to take revenge against life. So what if the self is without inherent nature? Better that it perish in refusal than to accede without protest to universal neutrality.
