Pynchon & Math (Aristotle vs. Plato)

[alice wellintown]

Claim A
"totalitarianism, albeit in a subtler form, has permeated Western
democracies since the mid-twentieth century"

AND

Claim B

"capitalism, in collaboration with the automatizing forces of
technology, has become the new totalizing ideology with which human
beings must contend."

Yes, both claims, be they true or not, are made in GR, if not in the
texts that follow GR.
