If Science is the discovery of the natural laws to which we are bound, a veritable knocking on objects, if you will...
and 'reality' is the context in which we eek out our miserably pathetic existences, then the grim concrete necropolis cosmopolis is hideously, inescapably, inevitably real.
however, if science is nothing but the projection of an imaginary socially enduced powergrab our feelers out into our world have been cut; and we live in a solipsistic 'hungry ghost realm.' ah yes ;)
'nothing but' and 'only' are limiting factors.
if we think of science as the projection, or rather, construction, of a socially enduced powergrab that acts by constructing 'natural' laws that can either wrestle 'nature' to the ground by calling it nature, or give voice to the voiceless; speak for the trees and the bugs and the birds and the bees. science makes things talk. but only because they are allready 'talkable.' we reach out and create our universe, but we do it with stuff.
all this adds up to precisely nothing more, and nothing less then the anthromorphic perspective that transformation occurs simultaneously between all actants. (hu)mankind's vision transforms the world that transforms it- we are made of the world. we construct the world of which we are made. the world constructs us, those of which it is made. reflexivity. circulatory dilation, dillution and dissemination of information, data, codes, viruses, money, power, roots, stems, leaves, bugs, bones, nerves, pheremones, insceticide, ozone, hydrogen bombs, vaccums, aids, herpes, acids, bases, words, jokes, numbers, bargraphs and spreadsheetws.
ANTHROMORPHOLOGY
any takers?
