Scizophrenia of Noumena

 The fracture in the middle of a noumena oriented worldview is divided by phenomenological subjectivity and the scientific objectivity. We have some kind of unified reality through the latter, but its alienated claims based in atomic, quantum, etc theory - which may be entirely accurate, but alienates the human consciousness in its radically different nature. What does it mean to have a star made up of an infinitude of combusting atoms? It is essentially inconceivable - who is our keenest hominid mind if not even he can conceive it? It is beyond phenomonological reach, and thus, has almost no bearing on the action of human life. There is a split within consciousness when we contemplate this and base our selves on it- is the Sun yellow, or white? How can we say it is a perception when perception is us. We do not live on the sun. We are the earth. An earth, too, has its own atoms which the sun cannot see.
