“While we may consider ourselves wise enough never again to worship human beings appointed to royal and religious leadership roles, we nonetheless fall into a collective trance at the mention of nonhuman idols like ‘scientific evidence,’ ‘market efficiency,’ and ‘majority rule,’ failing to grasp the limitations intrinsic to those ideas because we fail step outside of them – thus the need for a method like skeptical nihilism whose fundamental purpose is help us transcend the very things we cherish out of fear and ignorance.”In Beyond Words & Machines, Emericus Durden offers a long-form introduction to his controversial work of radical philosophy, Aiming Higher Than Mere Civilization, as well as a free-standing essay on the practical value of his philosophical method, skeptical nihilism.
