Quote of the Day
Quote of the DayI've occasionally thought to myself that I could keep the thing going on major news stories, rather like skipping a stone across a pond. The day-to-day cop hemocides and venal corruption in every goddamned spot on the map doesn't do it, though. Another 9/11 would naturally strike sparks, but look: the Obama regime is the story, but it needs depths of treatment that only very few are up to.
We are now in the fait accompli of American socialist revolution. Most peoples' ignorance of history doesn't allow them to really grasp how rapidly this is happening now, but this wheel is turning like never before.
I have no illusions that I can change any of it . . . . - Billy Beck, Dealing with the Imperative
Part II, Billy Beck from
"Hell Is The Impossibility Of Reason":
A great deal of of the crisis of the age is in the scale of it: it's so big that many people are flatly intellectually incompetent to even get started on seeing it. There are enormous chains of cause & effect running over generations, compounded by general ignorance of history cultivated with conceptual infirmity and general anti-thought.
It's all part of what constitutes Endarkenment, a unique event in human history, coming as it does in the wake of The Age of Reason. It's an amazing thing to consider: that human beings are un-thinking their way down from heights that thousands of generations of their forebears could not have hoped to have dreamed.
