>religion = politics = science
>All the same thing.
kek, welcome to acceleration! strap in and enjoy the Wild Ride. try and keep your arms and legs (and brain) inside the vehicle at all times. in my own experience, this has led to no end of kaleidoscopic terror, paranoia, frustration, and confusion. i like Aminom's own ideas for this reason, however; can't really find a flaw in Pancreativism.

i think collapsing religion, politics and science into a single phenomenon is...probably not a good idea. capital unites everything, and even gives us Bizarro versions of all of these, in an infinite proliferation...and really, it is the *fallout* from this experimentation, hybridization, that we are going through. postmodernity Crossed the Streams, and the academy is a smoking crater because of it. partly it has to do with the brilliance of the 19C thinkers who inspire it all: Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud (who is technically more in the 20C, but is much more a representative of an earlier era). their disciples and followers continue the experiments through the Cold War and after, and leave us where we are today - still trapped, i think, in a kind of Cold War thinking we can't escape from.

Fukuyama seemed to think that Hegel was more or less completed after 1990. Land is who he is for at least finding one crack in the Golden Throne, so to speak, that being technology, since next-gen cybernetics was waking up in precisely those periods when everything else seemed to be sinking into an enormous pile of PoMo confusion. and today, Woke Capital is his nemesis, and i think Woke Capital is - like Stalinism - read Kojeve - or national socialism, another case study in what happens when you try to fuse religion, politics and science together. you don't even fail, but you only succeed by basically depriving each of those ideas of what makes them interesting, and valuable, in their own rights.
