Indeed there are a lot of things that can help or harm confidence in an institution. I think this blog post is focusing on the socio-political aspect, rather than the economic and criminal aspects.
- kelseyfrog 3y agoThe socio-political hinterlands these bloggers inhabit is that of being unable to recognize the failures of modernism. It's an failure of their collective mind to continue to cling to a failed project - and fundamentally modernism's inherent self-contradiction: modernism's inability to modernize itself. We ventured deep into what makes something true and down every epistemological corridor, we found a chasm that could only be crossed by assuming true to our ontological priors. And when we pointed that these assumptions landed us in different realities, the modernists, blind to their own actions, were cocky enough to tell us they never did such a thing. I'm fed up with the lot. The entire weaselly bunch can get busy leaving.
