something that helps me a lot in the face of the doctrines of Universalizing Truth is thinking about how in the future the myths we call "science" will dissolve into just yet-more ancestral knowledge, sitting alongside all the other good-enough explanations of the world, integrated in alongside the most personifying and deifying and fantastical stories that cultures have to offer. and people will know that there was a time when the sister of pursuit of this flavor of knowledge nearly burned the skies, and nearly sucked all the color out of our lands, but that even so some of it is sacred.
