So it has happened that the worst disasters have come to light when secular societies have
sought to become organic, a recurrent aspiration among all societies that develop the cult of
themselves. Always with the best intentions. Always to regain a lost unity and supposed
harmony. Marx and Rousseau, but also Hitler and Lenin, as well as the productivist Henri de
Saint-Simon, have all found short-lasting agreement on this

Every ethnographer of the positivist school knew that the hundreds of societies catalogued by his discipline had at least one feature in common: that of believing in powers and entities outside society itself, which were invisible, self-sufficient, and loomed over the life of everyone. Yet secular society—which might otherwise be called experimental society, thereby isolating its specific characteristic—declares that it can do without them.
"…(General) Keith Alexander, the (former) commander of American Cyber Command, according to whom “the next war will begin in cyberspace,” Kissinger immediately commented: “It will not be possible to conceive of international order when the region through which states’ survival and progress are taking place remains without any international standards of conduct and is left to unilateral decisions.”
"A definition in which Kissinger is forced to mix the language of Westphalia with the language of cyberspace, leaving the impression that the latter eludes not only the former, but eludes political leaders themselves"
"Then the chimera of direct democracy looms again. It is founded on a hatred of mediation, which easily becomes a hatred of thought itself, which is part and parcel of mediation. All the more precious are—and will be—those remaining rocks of formal democracy, battered and often submerged by the waves of something that proves more or less disastrous.
What mattered was that everything could now be measured. Economics—no longer just called political economy—would soon become the supreme discipline on which everything else depended, and its countless representatives, up to the algorithmicians of today, would practice it. They may often not have heard of Bentham, but were putting his principles into practice—principles that rested on a false foundation, yet were easy to apply. And economics, like the world that came to be governed by it, was particularly eager to apply itself. To everything.
Described in the twelfth century by a Benedictine monk, Peter of Celle: “From the window of quiet and contemplation, let us survey how the voluble wheel of secular life rolls around and then we shall be able to grasp the great inconstancy with which secular conscience (saecularis conscientia) spins around.
Just as wandering, worldly care knows no stable foundation, so secular conscience furnishes no sure and stable signs of itself. It changes its expressions not just from day to day and year to year, but hour by hour and practically every moment. Look at the forum, the tavern, the theatre, the brothel: they are all workshops of error. Secular man (homo saecularis) is here, there, everywhere.
"Homo saecularis is not so opposed to religions as such. Religions are very similar to ideologies— and he comes across ideologies every day. Those who say they are Christian cannot differ very much from those who say they are vegetarian. They are all groups, communities, confraternities.
People can be Communists—as well as bodybuilders. Each choice has to be respected. They are all minorities. Niches. But what Homo saecularis cannot understand is the divine. He doesn’t know where to place it. It doesn’t fit into the order of things. Of his things

“Even if Kafka did not pray—and this we do not know—he still possessed in the highest degree what Malebranche called ‘the natural prayer of the soul’: attention. And in this attention he included all living creatures, as saints include them in their prayers.

" Today only unreserved adherence to a totalitarian system, brown, red or other, can give, so to speak, a solid illusion of inner unity. This is why it constitutes such a strong temptation for so many souls in disarray."
Ernst Jünger. He is thinking about the machine as a “predator whose danger was not
immediately recognized by man.” He regards technology as a “construction built on land not
sufficiently explored."
