Scientific explanations of what and who we are are given a lot of authority in the culture but ultimately fail to satisfy, they fall short of telling us what we want to know, or rather they show us that we don't yet know the right questions. As a family of discourses they belong in an ongoing war with rival discourses each unable to entirely overcome their various cultural antagonists despite implicit claims to totality in a variety of rhetorical modes. One peculiar weakness of the scientific arises from the very source of its strength, its detachment from any particular point of view, or what has been called its 'view from nowhere'. Other discourses which sacrifice the claim to an attainable and universal objectivity in various ways can wound it but at the cost of fatally weakening their own claims to truth. What do you call these factions of meaning? Are they currents of thought? Are they political proxies? What is the political a proxy for, the biological, the spiritual, the will to power? What stakes are they fighting over? All this glittering creativity, but looked at another way and it is endless rounds of 'ignorant armies clash[ing] by night'. Nowhere has no borders; the alternative to a view from nowhere is another view from nowhere. What does it take to let go of the very idea of such a view?
