THE TWO FORCLOSURES

The vorizenic armistice forecloses eschatology and cosmogony.  It hides them.  These are the two most important dimensions of thought - everything hinges on suffering and transfiguration at the highest level there is.  So why is the former hidden away, nudged into the shadows by the slightly different question of scientific cosmology, and the latter relegated to religious fanatics?   Because of information.   Human beings in the 21st century, as they are given more and more choices, simply become confused.  Eventually these ultimate horizons become invisible... or something to get to perhaps, eventually.. we sub in placeholder conventional opinions that support a vague agnosticism, and then focus on whatever is happing two hours from now or two weeks ago, rather than the beginning and end of time as such.
