The content of the ideas will still be wrong even after the OP theoretically goes through such a process, however, because the style of argumentation is a slipshod affair of natural language in which Spinoza just up and decides to jump to conclusions using his preferred cultural ideas upon his thinly described axioms, corollaries, etc, as an intellectual dead end along with the rest of religion. Descartes literally did this better.

I’ve been reading it along with Beth Lord’s guide. Shit has been really helpful especially with part 1 and 2.

Spinoza is still actually wrong, though. Don't forget that.

Spinoza's describing the mechanical procession of beings out of an infinite substance that, I think it was someone here on /lit/ who said, produces beings as indifferently as the law of gravity.

that should be a good start
