Clark and Jain note, The relation of knowledge to reality has itself become ambiguous. Instead, by this "subduing of reality" each decides upon reality's nature for himself. Truth is whatever man declares it to be or, as [C. S.] Lewis aptly notes, whatever the men in power declare it to be. In this scheme, natural science quickly devolves from the pursuit of truth to a mere technology, or the control of nature. And social science stands aloof from the pursuit of human flourishing in the world and the next in exchange for the efficient bureaucratic organization of society for maximum production and consumption. This displacement of the true and the good provides a fertile ground for the growth of postmodern antirealism, which is perhaps a variant of the ancient sophism that so troubled Socrates and Plato.

By every wind of doctrine blown about,
We wear the mask against our conscience, so We have enough to keep our families going Like viruses–we’re bound to make it through. For we just follow orders in our ketman– Don't blame us when we take your kids away; We promise them a good re-education With lots of camps that teach them to obey. By every wind of doctrine blown about: “Now we can beat this if we all comply!” “The Greater Good,” this tyrant of a mantra, May work this time if we believe its lie. For we just follow orders in our ketman– Don’t blame us when the genocide begins, For we submit just like the Romans were to. Outsourcing conscience is our only sin. By every wind of doctrine blown about– We gain new function by mRNA, This sacrament of our belief in science Forever flowing freely through our veins. For we just follow orders in our ketman– Don’t blame us when we lock you in the cell; It’s for the greater good of our fair country, To make a Heaven at the Gates of Hell. By every wind of doctrine blown about, We take the jab to gain a judgment good, In knowledge Fauci in his cruel eugenics, Doth execute the righteousness of God. |
