@RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co very mckenna, he talked about the end of history and the age of ultimate novelty. But what it actually means when he said is that every historical tragedy replays its self constantly at a certain point, and we hit the age of "ultimate novelty" in which every archetypal incident is always happening.

@a7 @RustyCrab end of history is francis fukuyama speculating that liberal democracy wins and everything turns boringly stable. this was demonstrably proven false by the aftermath of september 11 2001
mkenna's timewave zero was like the computing singularity but for reality. the end of the world did in fact happen in 2012 but it's not a singularity everything just died and is winding down and the cracks are showing in the universe -

@sun @a7 @RustyCrab i'm reading one of fukuyama's other books rn and he honestly gets a bad rap for getting that wrong. He may not be right about everything but he is actually well argued -

@jeffcliff @RustyCrab @a7 @sun I think Fukuyama gets needlessly maligned for being perceptive of the zeitgeist of his time -

@allison @RustyCrab @a7 @jeffcliff I don't think he's an idiot but I don't see how he wasn't clearly very wrong in his prediction -

@sun @RustyCrab @a7 @jeffcliff Islamism and the consequences thereof is something that ruined a lot of theorists days, I'll just put it that way -

@allison @RustyCrab @a7 @sun Exactly. He is very much that: the ideas and tools he has, were what was available when he was writing, plus a fair bit of insight from him. He fell for in with neocons but walked away when it was clear they were starting to be wrong about things. If the rest of us could only be so willing to learn from our mistakes. -

This theory will be wrong.
It will be proven wrong by one ugly fact." -

@jeffcliff @RustyCrab @allison @a7 @sun His reach exceeded his grasp.
No matter how well argued, he got bit by Rotchild's Rule and is now in company with Angus the Bridge-builder.
