Burning Mind

“Intellectuals,” today, lack intellect, just as “realists” lack realism. And why not? Ours is the Culture of the Fog, and our “rationality” mere pride in the relativity which turns the universe into a multiverse of chaotic drifting mist. Where, among today’s “intellectuals” and “realists,” is a single towering mind that, like the sun, gives geometry and the spectrum and a universe shareable and shared?

Here is such a mind! The Pope speaks as the spiritual leader of the Church; yet he startles us not by his spiritual insight (we expect that), but by the long-lost art of clear thinking.
