Isms Under Pressure

The most dangerous ideas don't arrive as commands. They arrive as offers. As seductions. As what reasonable people allegedly do now. A doctrine infiltrates common sense long before it dares call itself an ism.

These are not the isms of the last century — they arrived more recently, uninvited, and without a name tag.

These essays do the naming. My Dada instinct and my Trick & Care compass track them down — what they promise, what they extract, what they obscure. And sometimes: how to fool them.
