This one really does sound like a Byzantine theological debate about angels dancing on pinheads: the marketista defending his 200-year-old religion against younger ideas. And I can barely make sense of the mumbo-jumbo.

Absolutely.. it really sounds as the pagan religion in the Roman Empire... just trying to contain the flood of Christians.

Their mythology has been receding since the 19th century given the post-enlightenment nature of our understand of the Earth cycles...

so either they destroy science and their mythology (which they also need, so I doubt it) or they should try to co-opt the new religion.

Frankly I do not see fighting this new narrative plausible if our knwoledge of Gaia is somehow slightly correct.

A pleasure

I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
