  Candidly the first draft was more naive and thought I was onto something special (naively). Digging through and realizing so many concepts have been covered before, so made sure it at least tied-in some personal perspective At a certain point, most things can be boiled down something some philosopher has covered (and that's just through their specific lens). So the ideas are rehashed in this sense, though it'll be new to some people, and the perspective could help the concept to "connect" for someone else
