“One of the commonest and most corrosive human reflexes is to react to helplessness with anger. We do it in our personal lives and we do it in our political lives.

“We are living through a time of uncommon helplessness and uncertainty, touching every aspect of our lives, and in such times another reflex is the longing for an authority figure selling certainty, claiming the fist to be a helping hand. It is a touchingly human impulse, primal and pacifying — children turn to the parent to remove the overwhelm and uncertainty of a world they don’t yet understand and cannot.. postmodernity, psychobabble and the complete nonsensisation – literally deracination or disconnection of all human let alone humane (social) #Science on behalf of entropic apocalyptic patriarchic tyranny and despotism.
