Truthfully, I'm ready to dismiss it totally.

I came at it from an aesthetics perspective, in an interested/seeker sort
of way, in a wonder at why we are what we are sort of way.

And it ain't working for me, and I've kept working at trying to see it.

Truthfully, I think those Ceta people are full of crap- another
cogno-intellectual correlational sophocracy, like astrology or
phrenology. I think they're deluding themselves totally. Newage (rhymes
with sewage) woo-woo fruitcakes.

So, yeah, I guess I don't understand what these people are saying.

Mea culpa, huh?
