The Universe as Narcissus: On the Collapse of Moral Responsibility

The Universe as Narcissus: On the Collapse of Moral Responsibility There is a particular kind of spiritual language that has become common in our age, and it sounds like this: The universe has my back. The universe brought us together. The universe will provide. It is spoken with the confidence of revelation, yet it carries a strange emptiness beneath its words. For when we press upon it, when we ask what exactly is meant by "the universe," the answer dissolves into vagueness. It is not a god with character and will. It is not a law with structure and consequence. It is something else—a cosmic blur, a spiritual placeholder, an abstraction dressed in the language of authority without any of its substance.

We build our little houses of certainty upon the shores of arrogance. We chart our courses with pencils, as though the ocean were a map we drew rather than a mystery that draws us.

The sea belongs to Poseidon—Neptunus to the elders of Rome, the Blue-Haired Lord, the Earth-Shaker, Bearer of the Three-Pronged Scepter—whose dominion is not merely the turquoise skin of the waters, but the terrible and beautiful architecture beneath. He commands the wine-dark depths where no light has ever ventured. He commands the rivers that ...
