Paradise Begins Where Logic Fails

2026-06-17, day precision · claims, semantic-ref

Reading

Jiang opens the Dante series by doing something deliberately strange: he starts with Paradise, rejects the clever but dead answer, and says imagination is the road to truth.

Why Paradise Needs Human Imagination

2026-06-16, day precision · alias-match

Reading

Paradise first appears as receptivity rather than rank, then the lecture widens into vows, memory, resurrection, original sin, and Jiang's culminating wager that God created humanity because perfection alone cannot imagine.

Reading

Reading
