Contra #Aristotle, Contra #Hegel: The Death of Telos
Teleology isn't false, it's misplaced.
Purpose exists locally (minds, organisms), not cosmically.
Reality isn't aiming; it's iterating.
Telos is a rearview hallucination: pattern canonized into destiny after the fact.
🥚?🐔 What if the chicken came not before the egg, but as a byproduct of how we choose to understand causality, knowledge, and the limits of both?

Orientalism and the Denial of Muslim Political Agency
Western political discourse often treats Muslims as politically illegible, interpreting Muslim societies through secular or liberal frameworks. This critique examines how Orientalism embedded in Western political thought denies Muslim political agency and frames Islamic resistance as a threat rather than a response to imperial violence.https://wrzky.com/orientalism-and-the-denial-of-muslim-political-agency/
"Hegel ... sees things in terms of a 'principle of Idealism' ... It is a teleological or quasi-teleological principle, according to which things must be seen as if existing on account of, or as if tending towards, certain consummating experiences, experiences where there will cease to be a barrier between the self and other persons, or between the thinking mind and the world confronting it."
