     As long as "unthinkable" is NOT presented as impossible; just
     an observation of limits to the present state of human thinking
     .....not some finality!  Reversing common notions, we might even
     wager "NOT IS" as a future possibility, even if never been before.

      Unless I've missed something, what has the "NOT IS" to do
      with the questionable "truth" tensions between philosophy, and
      theology/ideology?  Philosophy is exploration searching for
      truth which it must NEVER find as that would contaminate it
      with ideology ....yes?   Also, a "NOT IS" (if possible or ever
      understandable) might well be (likely be) an issue of future
      science ....especially as synthetic neural expansions develop
      beyond their present infancies.
