0001 Matthew B. Crawford, at University of Virginia’s Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture,<\/em> publishes an essay at the website, UnHerd<\/em>, on May 21, 2022.  The website is worth investigating.  Crawford is worth reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0002 But, that is not my only motive for this sequence of blogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out that well-organized writers provide excellent material for triadic diagrams.  These blogs aim re-articulate Crawford’s argument, following the technique of association and implication.  The method is the same as with the other blog this month, concerning Vigano’s speech on how Vatican II serves the agenda of the Great Reset crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0003 The title of Crawford’s essay is displayed in the header.  The subtitle reveals the nature of the endgame.  Liberal individualism has an innate tendency towards authoritarianism.  That tendency manifests as real behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0004 What is the real behavior?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian Giorgio Agamben (b. 1942) captures its essence with the political philosophical… or is it theological?.. label, “state of exception”.  During the past eighty years, emergency declarations become more and more the norm.  An emergency declaration<\/em> inaugurates a state of exception<\/em> and provides cover for top-down programs of social transformation<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0005 What do emergency-justified “liberal” projects<\/em> aim to accomplish?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The core of the “liberal” regime is both political and anthropological: to remake humans.So, the answer depends on the meaning of “make”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
