Synopsis

A revival of the eighteenth-century project of organizing a collection of thoughts in an alphabetical way that seems systematic. “It will be an intellectual warehouse for the curious of all future generations,” said one of its authoresses, “should they survive the future.”The Benightenment: paralleling the information devolution of contemporary times—where every mode of understanding becomes subject to suspicion and sabotage, any explanation validated through data manipulation—is an intellectual movement in which archaic fact-collecting methods unrepentantly embellish, at a postal pace, scraps of theories and systems long ago discredited. The most formidable defense against ersatz knowledge is a collage of obsolete paradigms.
