AtDDtA(15): He Is Not What He Says He Is

[Mark Kohut]

Yes! (to post Hegel)
   
  Until I am made--or get--smarter---I want to believe:
   
  1) History for TRP is NOT advancing to a GOOD END, to say the least.  Apocalyptic disaster(s) are ....gonna happen.
   
  2) Remember in V. when someone--who?--says History is a Step Function?
   
  Is TRP's view of History, not that it is cyclical--he seems to diss the Eternal Return---but that it is an evermore humanly risky kind of spiralling step-function?...from WW1's Passchendaele, through 
  WW2's V-2, thru the future's unknown but almost-certain catastrophes?
