Any Age of Expansion has strong trends towards rationalism because of the need to make decisions between alternative actions in a period when status is being disrupted and social atomism is prevalent because of expansion. Nevertheless, science (which is, of course, entirely different from rationalism because of its faith in observation) usually flourishes in an Age of Expansion and is killed off by irrationalism in the following Age of Conflict. In Classical antiquity this pattern was not followed. There, rationalism was very strong in the Age of Expansion and began to attack science while this period was still in progress. In the following period, science was destroyed, not by irrationalism, but by rationalism. The reason for this aberration in the pattern lies in the fact that in Classical antiquity rationalism became allied with oligarchy and shared in its victory over both science and democracy.

this is the illuminati conspiracy. they model everything into numbers, like the matrix, so it can be controlled because they can't control observational reality as the organ of eye is decentralised to each individual. with a model they can control everyone's eyes.

look at the nytimes model the douma syria chemical attack to augment reality to make rationalism observational: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/201 ... ar-ul.html

graphical computer modeling is quite literally the destruction of observational science.

reality > numbers > data > binary(0 or 1) > graphical interface displaying electronic picture > eyesight

Quigley probably could never have imagined the additional factor of AI for us today. The future ain't lookin' good.

i can't remember in which book of his he touches on this, probably the same one i cited, but he points out the eventual replacement of all knowledge based jobs due to the fact computing power is better at concentration and memorization than humans. which is exactly what this AI revolution is. the only people being replaced are those who went to college and memorized shit from textbooks then regurgitated it in tests, graduated into a cozy specialized profession and made lots of money without ever actually learning how to think. i don't think quigley believed the ability to memorise things was actually intelligence as it has nothing to do with real thinking.
