Great thought .. I believe that ares always reemerges from the chaos. It will never go away. Athenian civilization defends itself from the forces of ares with metis or technology. Technology is built on science. Science is like the alchemists' uroburos, continually eating its own tail. The process of science doesn't work unless young scientists have the freedom to attack and tear down old dogmas, to engage in an ongoing Titanomachia . Science flourishes where art and free speech flourish
Science is using the Intellect to slice things up. It's a little bit cool but it can never know Life. Science wants to understand life by dissecting it. This will never work. But surely it will bring comfort.
