Allen Ginsberg (photo: Hans van Dijk) |
Modernity is becoming synonymous with millenarianism. Ideologues deconstruct the very notion of reality in a way that is not totally disingenuous yet disingenuously pursue Armageddon in the face of anarchy. Imagine the rubble of an attack like the fire bombing of Dresden.That's a good description of the evolution of ideas. Relativism is evolutionary. It is not a question of bad actors though it is a field ripe for predation by philosophical despots who create manifests for the flight from civilization--at least as humanity now conceives and experiences it.
