As we proceed through this year, 2025, I and my brethren have been noting a sharp increase in the number of sentences arising in headlines, that would have be absurd|baffling only a few years ago.
‘portrait of King Charles painted by humanoid artist AI-Da exhibited at the UN’ ‘Yngwie Malmsteam announces new protein powder’, and so on and so forth.
so in today’s theorem post I am going to put forth my own [seemingly] odd title: ‘fuck Galileo.’
I have chosen this one, not for its profanity, nor brevity. but for its *relativity*. one can imagine the inquisitors tasked with assessing him utter such in the privacy of their cloisters. so why am I saying it in the age of science. an age that rests atop his genius in a number of ways. [?]
Galileo existed as the closed circuit of the medieval-feudal world image [c2] was beginning to come undone. the dissolving of the buffering between scholar [c3] and craftsman [c1] were becoming permeable. and restless.
challenges to the Aristotelian natural philosophy were on the rise, including by one of Galileo’s tutors Tartaglia [using newly rediscovered Archimedean sources]*.
Galileo’s experiments on ballistics not only disproved this aspect of natural philosophy; they ushered in a new mode of perception and conception of the world. one that continued into the scientific revolution and into this era.
but this came at a price.
within the C3rberus epoch we are in there are seemingly no negatives. but if we look at Galileo through the lens of Cerberus alchemy, we get a different picture. alongside the breakthroughs in our understanding of the cosmos, the unintended consequences of dispelling Aristotelian physics was an *unchaining* of c2 [held from full metastasis potential by c2 coding of the feudal period].
strange as it sounds, one could even create a causal chain from Galileo’s ballistics experiments to ‘technofeudal’ elements currently arising; ‘embodiment’, and the grifting of influencers on social media.
more on this in the next Substack.
