Transcendentalism is an early product of modern philosophy.
But, early ≠ obsolete; in today's era of rapidly advancing technology, there still exists a group of elites who adhere to transcendentalism—the representative figure being Rocket Ma, whose so-called 'First Principles' are in fact a practical interpretation of transcendentalism.
The main idea of transcendentalism is the fundamental unity of all things, while First Principles involve pursuing the essence of essence based on what is so-called science. Broadly speaking, they are unified.
This philosophical and real-world echo that spans two centuries reveals a despairing reality: there are people in this world who, despite having the same physiologic structure as you, possess an entirely incomparable intellectual difference.
