Kevin and John and others are humanist world-builders, okay, so what? We knew this.

My take-away from this was that the author is asserting: a) there is no hope left for human agency to play a a role in the downfall of human agency, b) the decadence of the dominant Leviathanic culture might lead to its own self-cannibalization. But it took them all that writing to say as much.

How about this? Freedom, or death. Pretty simple. Be as optimistic as you want. Or not. But if we're fucked anyway, if we have no control or agency enough to affect anything, why not die facing our enemies? If we're headed for the abyss no matter what, why not swan dive in?
