0269 In section seven (7), the authors surf into the fourth paradigm.

0270 The material arrangements have changed.  But, what about the immaterial arrangements?  

Who still believes that {material arrangements [substantiate] human conditions}?

When the Soviet Empire fails, Slavic civilization experiences the trauma of… what?… a rebirth?

0271 For seventy years, from 1918 to 1989, the Slavic culture gestates in the womb of Marxist ideology.

Is that so different than the hiatus of Mongol rule (1240-1481)?

The civilizational rebirth of the all the Slavic nations inaugurates the fourth battle among the Enlightenment gods.

Razie Mah’s three-part e-book, Original Sin and the Post-Truth Condition (available at smashwords and other e-book venues) tells the tale, from a western point of view.

0272 The current war may be titled, “Empirio-Normative Domination of Subject Populations”.  The war entails controlling what people say through the use of psychometric expertise.  The USA becomes the USSA: the Umbrella of Sycophantic States in America.  A victor is not yet apparent.

On one hand, subject populations cannot ideate what victory means.

On the other hand, the Relativist One_3c has already victoriously implemented a wide-range of interventions_2c.  Also, subject populations have been successfully instructed how to talk about these events_2a.

0273 To summarize, the current Zeitgeist brings science (as social interaction_2bf) beyond science (as what we currently think that the spoken-word means_2bm).  Communist and capitalist “models” are not mechanical or mathematical formulations.  They are not shorn of formal and final causation.

For physics, chemistry and the like, formal and final causation cannot enter into mechanical and mathematical models. I call the results, “truncated material and efficient causalities”.

For the applications discussed here, Marxist “models” are dyadic actualities_2c embedded in category-based nested forms.  The normal context is a (formalist and finalist) disciplinary language_3c.  The potential is ‘an explanation that follows the format of scientific inquiry’_1c. 

0274 For American expertise_3b (in the service of Big Government (il)Liberalism), both socialist and capitalist analyses_2b are presented in the style of inquiry of the hard sciences.  The formalized lingo_1b of science is paradigmatic.  As of 2025, the consequences have been significant.  The citizen is now supposed to “believe the science”, rather than understand it.

0275 Here is a diagram of the three transits for this period.
