We need a new path for modernity based on the idea of "durée" and the shared creativity of nature-culture, not a scientistic narrative of subjective minds grasping objects out-there. Kant to be dumped. This can lead to an orthodox Christian metaphysics via Bergson, Péguy and Latour.

To see the contempt with which scientists in the US are being treated by the new administration is so fucking galling. These are people who've often foregone much more lucrative opportunities to devote themselves to advancing knowledge - for everyone.
