"Hermeticists don't step outside the laws of physics: they use them as tools for inward enlightment.

I was trying to be amusing."

No. Stop lying to yourself. You were trying to say

"I know words and concepts you don't because I'm smarter than you. I'll pretend I think you know what I'm talking about because seeming to assume you know the concept when I'm pretty sure you don't makes me look even smarter, especially since I'm not even in college yet. You must be pretty impressed by how smart I am."

Barring that, you are so egocentric you donb't even realize you aren't talking to anyone bu yourself, because you are incapable of concieving of the existence of real, live, thinking people who aren't you.

And the sum total of what you are saying to yourself?

"I love me".
