The substance has many modes.

By one mode affecting another.

You thought you were clever writing this, but really you just exposed that you haven't read past the first of five sections lol

Please tell me what is "hacky" about a guy who derives his own metaphysics, physics, epistemology, psychology, ethics, and politics using a rigorous and clear axiom-theorem style?

More or less right about what? It's easy to make vague claims to make it look like what you're talking about, but it seems more like you're just discounting Spinoza because you are too lazy to read him.

It's just the idea of constructing a philosophical system in the context of modernity and jews, taking Euclid as exemplar. It's an amusing intellectual experiement, nothing more. It reduces to unsatisfactory leaps about god and language which are used to concoct a worldview.

The real value of the treatise is in its back half (and definitely not in its first), where he sets up simple and arbitrary RGB emotional admixture states in terms of three "primary colors": pain, pleasure, desire. He couches a treatment of human emotions in terms of these three (which need not themselves be primary, of course).

t. has understood the Ethics correctly and feels pleasure thereby

I've read the Theological-Politico and Ethica but you wouldn't know because you don't have empirical proof I've done so, like I don't have empirical proof of your heterosexuality

The part where his metaphysics is dumbed down neoplatonism
