The Unveiling
By fully revealing the under-tonal qualities of wokeism’s implicit anti-human tendencies, this transitional memoir not only testifies to Foucault’s all-out-embracing of Nietzsche’s atheism and hence a denial of “any objective grounding to moral values.”[xl] It also unveils how this neo-atheism it taken to its most radical extreme that explicitly embraces what his close friend and colleague Gilles Deleuze, one of the most influential philosophers of our time, calls the “order of the anti-christ.”[xli]
Described by Foucault “as a book of ethics” in its preface, its translator (and esotericist) Mark Seem provides clear hints of this diabolical ‘order’ in the introduction to Deleuze’s collaborative 1972 work with anti-psychiatry guru Félix Guattari entitled Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia that sought to and, in many ways, successfully overturned the “Oedipal rock on which Man has chosen to take his stand.”[xlii] In doing so, Seem describes the core purpose of this work stating that “Anti-Oedipus comes as a kind of sequel to another similar venture, the attack on Christ, Christianity, and the herd in Nietzsche's The Antichrist.”[xliii]
Infused with esoteric “notions of multiplicities, flows, arrangements, and connections,” Foucault conveyed “that Anti-Oedipus can best be read as an ‘art,’ in the sense that is conveyed by the term ‘erotic art,’” rather than “a ‘philosophy’ amid the extraordinary profusion of new notions and surprise concepts.”[xliv] In leveraging these impenetrably art-filled concepts, D&G’s crafty attack on Christ is masked as a seemingly benign philosophical criticism of human exceptionalism (i.e., man’s ego = anthropocentrism) in such a way that it will not be “surprising to see people grow defensive and panic at the idea of experiencing ego-loss through the use of drugs or collective experiences” of mass schizophrenia (i.e., queering one’s body).[xlv]
Masked under the guise of an anti-oedipal ‘healing process,’ this anti-Christic pathology rooted in the mechano-economics of dissociatively breaking up the nuclear family bit – by – bit – by – bit is fundamentally built upon the Deleuzian delusion that…
…there is nothing pathological about ego-loss[…]; quite the contrary. Ego-loss is the experience of all mankind, “of the primal man, of Adam and perhaps even [a journey] further into the beings of animals, vegetables and minerals. "No age[…] has so lost touch with this healing process as has ours. Deleuze and Guattari's schizoanalytic approach serves to begin such a healing process. Its major task is to destroy the oedipalized and neuroticized individual dependencies through the forging of a collective subjectivity, a nonfascist subject—anti-Oedipus. Anti-Oedipus is an individual or a group that no longer functions in terms of beliefs and that comes to redeem mankind, as Nietzsche foresaw, not only from the ideals that weighed it down, "but also from that which was bound to grow out of it, the great nausea, the will to nothingness, nihilism; this bell-stroke of noon and of the great decision that liberates the will again and restores its goal to the earth and his hope to man; this Antichrist and antinihilist. . . He must come one day.—"[xlvi]
In its maneuver of moving from the introductory pages of Anti-Oedipus in chapter-one to the inner depths of Gilles Deleuze’s ‘order to the anti-Christ’ in Part I’s journey through Dante’s Inferno and towards “Peace in the Age of Intelligence Machines,” this memoir along with the broader corpus of my work testifies to the absolute fact that the suspicions of contemporary critics of wokeism as well as transhumanism alike are quite possibly more real than they/you could have imagined. More still, this absolute truth can in fact be exhaustively mapped out in such a way that we can begin to co-build a proactive response to ‘this Antichrist and antinihilist’ order described in Part II’s argument that “Pure Potentiality is the New Materialism” (Purgatorio). Done in a way that excels far beyond the confines of traditional conservative responses found in the 2023 documentary film that rightly asks: “What is a Women?”
I put it this way in Assembling Restoration while reflecting upon the narcissistic mirrors of trans-wokeism stating that “it’s with this pronounced exaltation of the individual and its accompanied alienation of humanity from the rest of the natural world that this work begins its co-creative response by not asking “What is a Woman?” as Matt Walsh suggests but to ask a radically more Catholic and universally applicable question: What is a Womb?”[xlvii]
Prayerful Conclusion
The co-creativity of this memoir’s proactive response to wokeism’s trans-human agenda is of course due to the fact that I am not only a fairly recent convert to many of the moral values that defines the conservative right such as family, God and country but…
