More Dark Æon

In academia, I learned that many of our brightest minds are more interested in social status than the truth. Possessing more brains than guts, they play the glass bead game, shifting facts and theories around into whatever configuration will get them tenure.

Joe Allen, Dark Æon: Transhumanism and the War against Humanity

I’m in love with this book, people, but I still have 200 pages to go before I can review it. I’ve never even heard of this Joe Allen, and he’s almost exotically smart. Dark Æon is better than Surveillance Capitalism because the author is more profound as a human being.

I take back my entire previous post about intelligence concentrating on the Left. Allen is a conservative, and he’s extremely bright. And he openly recognizes that the lure of fluidity prevents him from being the kind of Christian that he’d like to be and the kind of human that it’s worth being.
