“Our present dark age encompasses all domains, from philosophy to political theory, to biology, statistics, psychology, medicine, physics, and even the sacred domain of mathematics. Low-quality ideas have become common knowledge, situated within fuzzy paradigms. Innumerable ideas which are assumed to be rigorous are often embarrassingly wrong and utilise concepts that an intelligent teenager could recognize as dubious”…

Please note: Above discussion highlights the Cartesian Crisis [LINK] in Science, Computer Science etc. and the resultant distorted understanding of the nature of Reality - It was the British Establishment at the turn of the 19th-20th Century that embraced the increasing Mathematisation of Science (e.g. Betrand Russell book - Principles of Mathematics [LINK]) that was criticised by Heidegger & Husserl [LINK] - It is in essence an Anthropomorphic [LINK] (i.e. Marxist [LINK]) view of understanding Reality which is leading to an ever growing cognitive dissonance [LINK] and an increasing Theatre of the Absurd [LINK] [LINK] noting Marxism was now endemic across Western Civilisation [LINK]. The Philosophy of Mechanisation [LINK] is one example of this. It also importantly fails to capture the relational nature of Reality and the nexus between the Conscious Self (Perceiving Subject) and Being [LINK](noting Metaphysics is the Study of Being - Science of Reality).
