"Sadly, the monsters also figured it out by 2013, so I only delayed the inevitable."
Everything has to happen eventually, which is how THE TRUTH - REALITY - eliminates THE LIE by TRUTH'S mere existence. From the most mundane/innocent - fake grass seeds at the booth sale - to the most sophisticated/treacherous PONZI SCHEME of "I am the science" wizard and his crony.
I believe to have a good ideas about the sentiment of having to shelve a brilliant idea for the right reasons. Which is what separates THE TRUTH from THE LIE.
But I believe there is a rather more subtle and widespread LIE permeating the whole world - each individual - on which all other phenomena of DECEPTION your article refers to is based. Having the gullible enforcers of the little lies on the street keeping the sprouts of THE TRUTH at bay is what makes THE SYNAGOGUE OF MAKE BELIEVE so widespread.
But as it stands right now no for very much longer ... but then again this might have been said many times before only to stand corrected in hindsight.
post-Marxist culture—one that kept Marx’s radical materialism and denial of religious transcendence, while dispensing with his confident predictions about the self-destruction of capitalism—would naturally tend to be radically bourgeois. By that, Del Noce meant a society that views “everything as an object of trade” and “as an instrument” to be used in the pursuit of individualized “well-being.” Such bourgeois society would be highly individualistic, because it could not recognize any cultural or religious “common good.” In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels described the power of the bourgeois worldview to dissolve all cultural and religious allegiances into a universal market. Now, ironically, Marxist ideas (which Del Noce viewed as a much larger and more influential phenomenon than political Marxism in a strict sense) had helped bring that process to completion. At a conference in Rome in 1968, Del Noce looked back at recent history and concluded that the post-Marxist culture would be “a society that accepts all of Marxism’s negations against contemplative thought, religion, and metaphysics; that accepts, therefore, the Marxist reduction of ideas to instruments of production. But which, on the other hand, rejects the revolutionary-messianic aspects of Marxism, and thus all the religious elements that remain within the revolutionary idea. In this regard, it truly represents the bourgeois spirit in its pure state, the bourgeois spirit triumphant over its two traditional adversaries, transcendent religion and revolutionary thought.”
" "Science" Is the New Religion"
SCIENTISM is THE CULT of the 20./21. century as RELIGION is something completely different.
