Untangling

"Since the emancipation of the third estate, the formation of bourgeois democracy and its transformation into mass industrial democracy, the neutralization of politically relevant differences and postponement of a decision about them has developed to the point of turning into its opposite: a total politicization of everything, even of seemingly neutral domains of life."
 ----Karl Lowith.


1. The future will be ruled by meth addled drone operators.

2. Neither trot nor ski because the shit mars snow.

3. Monetization is the easiest nihilism.

4. Editing T.S. Eliot: "This is how the world ends, not with a bang, but without giving a single fuck for 'people'."

5. The English and French Revolutions did fine without adhering to Scientific Principles. The Liberal fetish for a popular appreciation of Evolutionary Theory is reactionary.

6. Hegel's work is the best criticism of "common sense" philosophy. (Realism, Empiricism)

7. Orthodoxy is where ideologies go to die. (please note alternate meanings of "doxy" and "die")

8. Making conscious resistance to authority an ideology places it under glass, dead, pinned like a butterfly enabling hierarchical collection and classification.

9. Natural Selection: Mythical as the land of milk and honey, rational kernel of the Cosmos, etc.

10. Social Media: Canaries crying in sharecropped mines.
