“Has anyone told drug-resistant bacteria and viruses that they are simply engaged in a language game or in a manipulative bid for power?” (Robert Letham, The Holy Trinity, pg. 10)
It is a great question. And that’s what we’re about – questions. Perhaps with a little contextualization, epistemic humility, and dialog, those foundationalist microbes would see that their power-mongering language games have no place in the post-modern world. The post-modern man err... individual sees right through their quest for dominance! I would suggest that we, together with the bacteria, adopt a five year moratorium on whether they should infect us. We now live in a culture where we need to contextualize infection; it is just not understood it in its depiction as a primitive virulent person-killer.
