| The Royal Scientist secures for himself a unique existence. Heidegger speaks of the way in which a man - a being among beings - “pursues science” and through this process, the irruption of one being called “man” transforms into the whole of beings: Man. Science shows Man what he is and how he is. Science reveals this being among beings to be an object of investigation, an object to be known, grasped, and revered as the Being through which all other beings come to have meaning: homo sapiens. But here’s the catch: it is only through Science that Man is revealed to be the kind of being that grounds all other beings. Science announces the end of all other revelations and is an antidote to all other delusions, hallucinations, and phantasms. | The Royal Scientist secures for himself a unique existence.

| <blockquote>Ideas at first considered outrageous or ridiculous or extreme gradually become what people think they’ve always believed. How the transformation happened is rarely remembered, in part because it’s compromising: it recalls the mainstream when the mainstream was, say, rabidly homophobic or racist in a way it no longer is; and it recalls that power comes from the shadows and the margins, that our hope is in the dark around the edges, not the limelight of center stage. Our hope and often our power. | <blockquote>Ideas at first considered outrageous or ridiculous or extreme gradually become what people think they’ve always believed.
