There is (you have to admit it), in this the final act of our age, an unlimited dose of ignorance, facing as it does, the most refined accumulation of individual sadism history has ever produced. Whenever the former speaks, takes the form of an advocate of the so called “Environmental Movement”, which now (2023) has been reduced to the pitiful state of what Ellul would have called “the technical administration of suicide”. A desperate attempt to “electrify the Titanic”, or some alternative remedy for it to float a bit longer. Sad to contemplate.

We might as well, as Shankara did, walk into the mountains to never be seen again.
