"The West has been headed out of the territory of reason for some time now.
Its truths have become ideological beliefs. Its goals have become the self-worship of its own symbols, size for the sake of size, and centralization for the sake of centralization.
There is a mingled horror and longing for the savage and the barbaric, as civilization appears to have lost its meaning. The leadership cries "Onward to a united world" on the one hand, and "Back to the caves" on the other. That confused melange boils down to a cultural intelligence which has lost the awareness of its own contradictions. High tech environmentalism, soft wars and valueless money are all symptoms of that same intellectual degeneracy." -- Sultan Knish: Outside the Territory of Reason

Onward and forward in a circle. And rediscovering what was known long ago, that this shit is unsustainable.

Everything is unsustainable. As a man said, nothing is ever lost, because nothing is ever won. I don't like the lesson either, but it's back.
