>only 6000 words in and I’ve realized I’m a horrible writer
No shit you dumbfuck, writing isn't a talent, it's a skill and you haven't developed it. Of course you suck, now stop whining and fuck off.

>Ludwig Wittgenstein wrote several passages about the incompleteness theorems that were published posthumously in his 1953 Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics, in particular one section sometimes called the "notorious paragraph" where he seems to confuse the notions of "true" and "provable" in Russell's system.
>There has been some controversy about whether Wittgenstein misunderstood the incompleteness theorem or just expressed himself unclearly.
he was too dumb to understand one of the most beautiful (and quite simple) theorems

>The One is not the denial of the All
Real in Advaita is used in the absolute sense, it means "absolutely real, eternal, unchanging, always and everywhere", only Brahman or in Neoplatonism the One can be real in this sense, nothing that undergoes change can be this real. You are essentially complaining that Advaita doesn't afford the same degree of reality to everyday objects and our changing experience that Neoplatonism would afford to the One; but no major Neoplatonist affords the everyday objects which emanate from the One the same degree of reality that they afford the One, which just goes to show that you don't really know what you are talking about.

>if more people believe in it it's better or more likely to be true
That argument by extension is really an argument for Christianity and Islam over Buddhism, and for the views of the middling-IQ masses over the highly intelligent

Your rape of logic and any sensible categorization is bordering on bait at this point.

>it starts at the present, goes back into the past, returns to the present so the past is reconstructed very cleverly, spliced into the story sometimes straightforwardly sometimes deceitfully (demodocus), and at a certain point the narrator becomes first person. we don't come to homer until 4 books in (the first 4 being telemachus' story)
Now this is fucking embarrassing.

>aristotle in his poetics actually says most epics tell the story of one person or one war from start to finish
Perfectly irrelevant to the matter. And showing or not showing an entire war is certainly not what defines the epic or the novel.

>not in the odyssey. its very neat, close-knit, artful and various. never huge and terrible like the iliad is.
Elevated is not the same as huge and terrible... Stylistically it is not essentially different from Iliad (so - elevated, epic), though it is thematically (which is, for some, grounds for criticism, finding a contradiction in the text here). I'm basing this on what I've read from classical scholars, I have never heard it described as "neat, close-knit", nor would I describe it as such from my own reading. It is very much unlike the Golden Ass, for example.

>epic belonged to the early man. this homer lived too long after the heroic age to feel assured and large. there is more verbal felicity and less 'poetry'.
obviously the tale was the thing; and that explains the thin and accidental characterisation
Now you're just rambling. You have a horrible mess in your head. The epic being defined as a product of the "heroic age" is certainly a spectacular hot take.
