The Enlightenment promised to replace superstition with reason, tyranny with liberty, and ignorance with progress. Three centuries later, the results are in.
Democratic governments no longer represent their citizens. Economic models that predicted shared prosperity have delivered stagnation and debt. The scientific establishment cannot correct its own errors. The very philosophers who enthroned reason ended by abandoning it entirely. What we are witnessing is not the corruption of a good idea by bad actors. It is the inevitable collapse of a framework that was flawed from its foundations.
Veriphysics: The Treatise is a systematic diagnosis of that collapse and a rigorous description of what must replace it....
Authored by bestselling political philosopher Vox Day, also the author of the landmark science work Probability Zero, Veriphysics: The Treatise is a philosophical manifesto for the 21st century. Available on Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible.
I released this 84-page treatise more so that people could have an easy single reference than as a book proper; it consists of the first two parts, the final section of the latter which was posted today, plus the third part, which I will continue to post here daily until it is complete. Although it naturally comes off as highly critical of the Enlightenment, and, to a lesser extent, their Scholastic rivals, it represents my attempt to transition from the purely critical role to constructing something useful.
I leave it to the readers to decide how effective it is as a post-Enlightenment proto-philosophy, but there are already some signs that the triveritan approach it utilizes is a fundamentally more viable and reliable heuristic than historical truth-metrics.
