“The scarab [Milky Way navigator], the holy “ball-roller” of the Egyptians, embodies the self generating T-shaped [cf. Mercury/Hermes’ caduceus], hermaphrodite principle of Sun-Osiris and Moon-Isis. Both, the Ouroboros and the Scarab are an expression of the ‘hen to pan’, the eternal transformation [0 1?] of the Ever Unchanging.”

To substitute for this, Progressivism attempts to technocratically and rationally regulate everyone’s free and equal pursuit of his own conception of good in a purely unbiased manner. But it is impossible for one man’s freedom NOT to bump up against another’s. It does so at practically every turn. We are not atomic individuals. We live in families and communities, work, learn, worship, and play in mediating institutions–which foster natural and deep loyalties that are sand to the gears of the Progressive system…

So in order for Progressivism to work by its own neutral and rational prescriptions, it basically has to dissolve (preferably slowly as with frogs in the pot) all the natural human hierarchies and insinuate itself in their place by a whole host of gimmicks. But tearing down of hiearchies is per se anarchic, i.e., entropic. And while the Cathedralized society attempts to bring order to increasingly deracinated and atomic individuals, it cannot fundamentally meet human social needs because that is not how humans really are.

So my vote: Progressivism == Anarchy == Entropy.

So why was such an unscientific belief ever given any credence? Mullis merely notes “the amazing coincidence that the American patent on the production of freon, the principle chlorofluorocarbon used in refigerators and air-conditioners, expired at just about the same time freon was banned. Those countries that had begun producing freon without paying for the privilege were asked to stop. And a new chemical compound, a commercial product that would be protected by patent, would soon be substituted and make a lot of money for the company that produced it.”

He can only conclude that “scientists who speak out strongly about future ecological disaster and promote the notion that humans are responsible for any changes going on are highly suspect.” But thankfully, “They still wear priestly white robes and they don’t do heavy labour. It makes them easier to spot.”

Can you expand on the idea that Progressivism is entropy, rather than as Thales seems to be asserting an alternative form of order? Or if Thales isn’t, I will assert that, though I’m willing to be convinced otherwise.

Disagree. Order is order and entropy is entropy.

Agree AGW is the new sale of indulgences for the gnosticism of the modern Cathedral.
