does for nature what Calvinism did for Christian theology;
both apply an aggressive determinism to their field of study,
where they multiply the distance between an elite,
a self elect, who think they are 'the chosen'
-predestined to rule through some self given right
to slice and dice other people through superiority over others
-not least through literacy, numeracy and reason.
When really, whether the point is about belief in God
or simply accepting life itself, consciousness will vary.
Autonomy is relative between species and people,
and deeply linked through inter-dependence.
But beyond knowledge there is only life and death.
