1. Non-difference, as an ontological category, is based in the idea of difference itself, found between people, discovered through various means such as believing in other minds.
2. Brahman is more "real" than Maya when the former is conceived of as a model. The scale of "reality" of phenomena/experiences only works when the mystical mindset is already in some sense accepted, when one has some portion of "faith", however rational or not.
3. The subject is just an object that disagrees with that designation.
4. Brahman relates to the thing-in-itself in a manner that is precisely analogous to that between Truth and correctness as a formality.
5. Drone music is supremely creative in its very un-creativity. It simply does on the level of the audience what typical music does almost solely on the level of the composer.
6. Conceived of broadly enough, everything is good. Unfortunately, conceived of broadly enough, everything is also bad. Conceived of most broadly, it is neither.
7. The "current of history" or other such formulations are always introduced theoretically after the fact. History is relentlessly objective. This means that the subject ought to become objective to change anything.
8. Objectivity is not just the sum total of subjective conceptions. It is that plus the overcoming of reification/alienation.
9. There can only be an internal world because there is an external one. That both exist is attested to by the ubiquitous conception of duality itself.
10. A little masochism is necessary to prove that one is a living, thinking being.
