  gr offers a sublime imaginative space, where we, while having fun, can truly  
  realize how poor and narrow technocrazy makes us ...

  but, right, trp leaves no doubt about the fact that modernity has, about   
  since 1850, passed the point of no return. and a brave slogan like "let's stop 
  bio-technology now!" or other oh so useful suggestions i, as a sociologist,   
  have to make now and then, are - in last analysis - just whistling in the dark 
  ... on the macro-level of history, sorry for repeating myself, there is only  
  this archontic occidental rationality ... no adi da can heal fiji's ethnic   
  struggles ... i know you don't like to swallow heidegger quotes, but i really 
  think he was right when he said in that 'spiegel'-interview: "only a god can 
  save us now ..."
