Text
[This treatise concerns the rise of the Cult of the Absolute. The perspective is cold, biting, and yet concomitantly it is impressed. One passage reads:]
While I don't recuse myself from necessary criticism of this incarnation of the 'cult' format (charismatic leadership, ritualism, idiocultural phrases, gestures, an emphasis placed on veneration at the cost of self-defacement or utter obliteration of identity, signs and symbols, shared goals, othering of those not 'in-the-know', etcetera) the Absolute does seem to fall into the same basket as the truly dangerous movements of history.
There is some dark appeal in its doctrine. We ignore their rise at our peril.]
