Keywords and significant quotations:

• We are living in what the Greeks called the “kairos” – the right moment – for a “metamorphosis of the gods,” of the fundamental principles and symbols –Jung (p.797)
• According to A. J. Ayer “we are authorized to have faith in our procedure [i.e. scientific method], so long as it carries out its function, which is that of predicting future experience and thus control our environment” – it has invalidated the sciences insofar as, in trying to control the environment wtih the avowed aim of creating an Eden and kill death an dpain, the sciences and the technology based on them have produced a hellish chaos… which is supposed to be the opposite of the place where we intended to go (p.797)
• Sciences are but myths … Progress is nothing but a myth to the bourgeoisie –Sorel (pp.797; 934=endnote 3)
• there cannot be a perfect structural fit between [digital] conceptual maps and the [analog] territory … adaequatio intellectus et rei is principially impossible (p.946=footnote 39) … essential problem is not in the precision of the map but in mistaking the map for territory which buddhism calls avidya (ignorance). A myth that acknowledges itself to be a myth (authentic myth –Sorel) is therefore better than a myth concealing such a thing (p.798)
• pseudo-postmodernism of petit récits and imperfect deconstruction/relativization (p.798) being not radical enough (still keeping the project of technology, modernity, private ownership and capitalism as natural/taken-for-granted, mistaking nomos - convention for physis - nature) (pp. 798; 941=footnote 19)
