Eurocentrism Quotes

“Life is Nonbiblical, Truth is Nonbinary (Sonnet 2349-2350) Atheism is a white european invention, outside the shortsighted gutter of eurocentrism there are people who don't need to believe in a creator to be holy, you can be sacred without being superstitious, the human world is teeming with such cultures where life is holy, duty is holy, laughter is holy, but of course your whitewashed, eurocentric little intellect cannot fathom nonduality - that's why you mustn't confuse intellect with wisdom, some of the brilliant minds are first class idiots, their binary brains have zero capacity for nuance, they confuse the backwater fiction-centric narrative of the church to be the entire lifespring of theology, so naturally, either they believe like sheep or reject like robot, because in a world of sheep and cyborgs either there is god or there is not, either you submit to blind faith or icecold logic, there is no place for heart, humanity and tolerance! Not Christ, but church doctrine was a major downgrade in theology existing hundreds and thousands of years prior, at the same time, european reductionism was a major downgrade in a wholesome life-centric understanding of truth. We need a life-centric understanding of truth, not truth-centric understanding of life - we need a human-centric realization of divine, not divine-centric realization of human.”

“...but I'm also talking about the colonizing of truth, the redesigning of the fabric of reality. I am talking about the imposition of a way of classifying, measuring, and quantifying the world, including everything from time, to temperature, to distance, to weight. All of these things became calculated and bounded by frameworks that were not only European but often peculiarly English ways of understanding reality. Today's activism responds to the world on these terms, operating on terrain already mapped out by white supremacy, Eurocentric logic, and colonialism. This would be less worrying if it was clearly identified, would not pose so grave a danger if there was awareness that the terms of engagement operate within a framework that we need to dissolve. However, that acknowledgement appears to be entirely absent, and we congratulate ourselves on 'speaking truth to power' (often, depressingly, via what we know call 'platform capitalism').”
