Q: CURT: –“do you think the presupposition and assumptions of the liberal world order that are crumbling before our very eyes will give way to a return to an older view of the world”–

Older? Not so much. Maybe instead, that those properties of the prior (agrarian) order that were non-false, and beneficial will be restored, and with that understanding and confidence those old properties mixed with new properties will emerge as they always do. In other words all knowledge, especially scientific and empirical knowledge, casts aside ideas that are false, and retains and adds to the true, as societies evolve just as organisms do.

However, I am having as much difficulty as other intellectuals are in predicting what that future of ‘the good’ would be. As such ,I am, and our organization is, trying to provide a framework in which those old and new truths and goods can blossom without needing to specify them ourselves. If we know what falsehoods and harms to eliminate then we are free to discover the truths and goods instead.

This is because I understand that one does not plan a war so much as develop a strategy and then predict and seize futures and opportunities to advance the beneficial once and delay the harmful ones as we move along through space and time.

Unfortunately this requires a populace with enough trust in one another and their leadership to persist in the ambition to discover the good despite the collective uncertainty about what that good might eventually consist of.

This is rather profound if you understand it.
