Modern Inertia: Rational Order, Moral Silence - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Modern Inertia names a condition many recognize but few can articulate: the moment when rational systems continue to function flawlessly while losing their capacity to listen. Protocols replace dialogue, procedures replace judgment, and moral responsibility is quietly displaced by compliance. What remains is order-efficient, defensible, and increasingly silent. This book explores how that silence emerges. Drawing on philosophy, psychiatry, mathematics, popular culture, and lived experience, it traces a recurring pattern: systems designed to protect and coordinate human life begin to outlive the conditions that once justified them. Consent hardens into form, habit freezes into routine, and undecidability-once the space of ethics-is treated as error. Modern Inertia does not argue against rationality. It argues against rationality that forgets its limits. Engaging thinkers such as Locke, Hume, Bergson, and contemporary insights from Quantonics, the book shows how moral life depends on what cannot be fully decided, computed, or delegated. This is not a manifesto, nor a diagnosis. It is an invitation: to notice when listening has been replaced by procedure, and to ask what responsibility requires when systems no longer hear the human voice.
