ABSTRACT

Everything about the socio-political-economic-cultural “world” is breaking up into jagged pieces that don’t fit together into any (semi-)coherent pattern, moving and morphing, abrading each other, penetrating each other, linking with each other, and crushing each other. Taken together, the fragments aren’t moving in any discernible direction. There is more signifying going on than ever and less significance, indeed, no significance on the whole. Always prone to make a mess whenever it thinks that it is making an “advance,” the bonobo-chimpanzee (BC) has finally gotten itself into a kerfuffle from which it cannot extricate itself.
