Solaris deconstructs the illusion of mental essence, the despair of love, the quest of culture and epistemology of general minds

Yes. Much more than replicants and uploads, Solaris is where we're heading, and where we've always been .. the 'real' Tlön.

Solaris is humanist, it describes the struggle of people with souls against the universe. Souls will die out, I think.

While i agree w. you on Solaris, i think people will 'scale up', and the universe become completely ensouled.

Shared existential debt is at the core of love, and the romantic quest for meaning and understanding that Kelvin exemplifies.

Excellent thoughts, worthy of Lem. But! Existential debt is not illusory, but arises from the fundamental unpredictability of next states.

i agree that to *personalise* externalised meaning is illusory and defective. But to say existential debt is a defect - well, how Russian.

Our romantic minds are parasites with a temporary foothold on the defective brains of a few monkeys under relaxed evolutionary selection

Romanticism is what you get when you replace religion with enlightenment without resolving a hunger for god. (China is not romantic!)
