Is it possible to accurately judge how profound an idea “actually is” from merely how profound it sounds? Assuming that these two things are disjoint, in general.
Then besides that, if those two things are indeed disjoint, are you proposing that we should prefer more skepticism towards ideas that actually are profound or that sound profound? (I imagine that you probably mean the latter, but from your writing, you seem to be using the word to mean both).
I think I was envisioning profoundness as humans can observe it to be primarily an aesthetic property, so I’m not sure I buy the concept of “actually” profoundness, though I don’t have a confident opinion about this.
