RT @nick_routledge: @samhaselby @moshik_temkin Moving on then, how do we address an Extinction Tyranny - Zuboff's "great lie that economic logic is the only model that will work" - so totalizing in its full-spectrum claim upon the nature of reality that we barely recognize peak modernism for the sheer deception it represents?

I think it's increasingly obvious that the disasters of the 21st century share a common root in outsourcing perception of reality to models & theories advanced by a highly-paid new pseudo-priesthood. Accountability is impossible in this framework. It's up to us to look away.

@TaraAnnThieke Thank you, Tara. Shi'ite messianism refers to a Cycle of Occultation, 'dawr al-satyr', and Cycle of Epiphany or Unveiling, 'dawr al-kashf' in how we per-ceive reality; Robert Bly, of 'healing the wounds of abstraction.' What, then, will survive the separation of life and law?

Quoted by@JoshuaPHilll @mehdirhasan So, the separation of life and law, at law's behest.Quoted by@dysangelistes @drkohilathas "Fools with tools are still fools and don't let your Phi Beta Kappa key fool you." - N.O. Brown. Or, as Wallace Stevens anticipated evolutionary trends in dominative, conventional conceptions of authority, legitimacy, credibility, coherence, health and freedom, 'Exeunt omnes'.Quoted by@nils_gilman This state was howling for blood and the psycho-dynamics haven't changed. Meanwhile, modernity at large can be characterized by its endless deferral of judgment, “a secularized parody of the Church’s incessant deferral of the last judgment” (Agamben). Why? A tackle ends the game.
