Reason is Dead

Physics, specifically quantum mechanics, believes that it has discovered that nature is absurd, that “she” is inconsistent with the laws of logic and mathematics. What it has forgotten, and what the whole of the Western world has been trying to ignore for the last two and a half thousand years, is that mathematics and logic were inconsistent with organic reality from their very beginning. 1 is only equal to 1, and A only equal to A, if they exist outside of time. In fact, 1 and A only exist at all as theoretical “eternal forms,” a sort of myth invented by the ancient Greeks. So we will never have a Theory Of Everything, or for that matter a mathematical theory of anything that describes anything as it actually is. The great myth of the Western world is moribund. The world that we invented, the world we thought we could control, is in its final twilight. The question is, how will we emerge, as lunatics or as superhumans, once we have accepted that reason is dead?
