“Our intelligence, our mind, all our faculties, are at the beck and call of the will, which can chose to use or abuse what it has at its disposal. A mind clouded by passion is like a window covered with dirt. It is not transparent; it is aware of only of itself. Virtually all of the artistic breakthroughs of the modern age (stream of consciousness comes most immediately to mind) are a function of the mind turned away from truth and focused on its own desires instead. The turning away from the truth at the behest of disordered passions does not mean that the mind will stop functioning; it only means that the mind will not perceive the truth. And after a period of laboring in the dark, the mind can choose disorder over order and create for itself idols which it will serve instead of the truth placed in the universe by the Creator which is synonymous with truth. So the rebellion with which this century began is now over, although it most certainly continues. What is over is the pretense that some sort of intellectual breakthrough is immanent. The only breakthrough we got was the suicide of thought brought about by people who were willing to risk anything to gratify their illicit sexual desires. AIDS is a fitting epitaph for our century. What started out in rebellion ended in death. The rebellion against the moral law succeeded, and we overthrew ourselves. In the end modernity was debunked by its own biographies.”
