Obnosis in Technophilia .vs Philosophy of Primatism
- "Walter Alter self-sanctified high priest of progress, rages against obnosis, his ill-formed neologism for "ignoring the obvious". Bob Black writes in A Postscript to Sahlins [1] Bob Black, "According to Walter Alter, science privileges neither direction. There is no passive, preexisting, "organized, patterned, predicted and graspable" universe out there awaiting our Promethean touch. Insofar as the Universe is orderly -- which, for all we know, may not be all that far -- we make it so. Not only in the obvious sense that we form families and build cities, ordering our own life-ways, but merely by the patterning power of perception, by which we resolve a welter of sense-data into a "table" where there are "really" only a multitude of tiny particles and mostly empty space."
