Physicalist science brought this a notch higher with its desire for "intellectual cleanliness at any price" (Nietzsche via Girard) https://twitter.com/kcorazo/status/1726810053330808858
My interest right now is how power players across history have collaborated with egregores (especially 20th century nationalism) to reach the heights of power, and how people with a Christian or scientific mindset ("epistemology of truth") tend to be blind to the actual game of power players (who have an "epistemology of power").
This description largely matches my read of things. In particular how Christianity was killed by it's offspring (which reminds me both of Charles Taylor's "A Secular Age" and Zeus...)
