Anon wants to begin with another assertion that nothing here is truth in and of itself. If you do find any truth in these words you are simply using the words as a sign post to discover truths you already knew for yourself, and you're probably not going to be entirely correct anyways.

>Philosophy begins with an intense curiosity in matters so ordinary that the regular man can't be bothered with them.

Anon considers the "shape of the world" from the perspective of the self. Every step further from our self takes us deeper into the unknown space surrounding us, and we encounter and come to better know the many other things which share our world. Through rigorous processes of observation and experimentation we, as societies, attempt to hammer out a firm idea-structure about this world which serve as a common basis upon which we can understand each other and thus work collaboratively within the world. This idea-structure is never going to be perfect, unfortunately, as we simply lack the ability to fully understand the totality of all relevant natural systems. The more we attempt to solidify this structure, to push our influence outwards upon the world which surrounds us, the more errors we introduce within the system, compounding over iterations. When people push outwards with reckless abandon, enamoured only with what is possible, and with no regard for what can actually work, these compound errors can quickly overcome us and shatter the entire structure.
