Look, I don't have time to read the whole history of philosophy so can I get some spoilers? Who was right in the end?

I like to imagine that after that was painted the painter showed it to Kant who acted like you would if the hairdresser gives you a bad haircut: "y-yeah, it's just what I wanted"

Some desert pseud named Jesus. Worst part is, he never got around to fully explaining himself. Wins by default, being the only non-try hard. Buddha came in a close second on style points alone, but it's pretty clear he actually thought through what he was saying before he said it. I mean, how can anything be the truth unless it's effortless?

You read the wikipedia articles of all the major figures, pick the one who agrees most with your preconceptions, and then delve into their work so you can learn more about why you were right all along.

Parmenides, Pythagoras, Plato, Plotinus, Ploclus, Pseudo-Dionysus, Hermes Trimegestus, Meister Eckhart, Spinoza, Schelling, Hegel, Whitehead, The Upanishads, Zurvanism, Tantra, Sikhism, Vedanta, Ayyavazhi, Mahayana, Vajrayana, my diary desu, Daoism and Sufism all more or less describe the same thing (which is true), so they all get a participation trophy (I get #1)

Iamblichus more or less falls under "Plotinus" IMO. I mean, you could sit here and list ever single known philospher that expounded some sort of non-dualist or idealist metaphysics, but you'd end up with like 4000 names then.

You exist. Everything that exists, including you, is part of the universe. God's will and actions are present in the universe. The universe exists with God, for God. God is part of the universe, and the universe is part of God. The divine is the real. Parts can never exist without a whole.
