There is a hidden contradiction behind that rational - to the point of positivistic - and insistently mechanistic thought which posits some objective, knowable, and correct reality to be harmonized with. The thought itself, and the process by which the thought illuminates the world around it and situates itself within that illuminated world, constitutes an enormous expenditure of energy in order to illuminate and situate, so that it becomes a subjectivity even more intense than the kind of subjectivity it derides and erases.
One brief but I think pertinent example has to do with the financial industry, which uses mind blowingly complex mathematic systems and contrivances to model reality and point to some "truth" that is to aid in accumulation, but at the same time it is concentrating all the time so many resources to affect that accumulation that it destabilizes its own arena of action, right from underneath itself.
