An Objectively Apocalyptic Situation

An Objectively Apocalyptic Situation

By Gil Bailie inBlog

Posted on: Oct 08, 2022

“No one takes the trouble to reflect uncompromisingly about the enigma of a historical situation that is without precedent: the death of all cultures.
Condemning humanity to nonsense and nothingness at the very moment when they have achieved the means of annihilating everything in a blink of an eye, entrusting the future of the human habitat to individuals who now have nothing to guide them but their desires and their “death instincts”—all of this is not a reassuring prospect, and it speaks volumes about the incapacity of modern science and ideology to master the forces that they have placed in our hands.” – René Girard
