Modernism is profoundly [[determinist]], [[rationalist]], assumes the world is therefore a static place which even the hardest problems can be solved — that machines can be built that can divine the answers to questions our (gormless) mortal minds cannot handle, and in that sense is in equal parts utopian, delusional and ''lazy'': it believes that difficult stuff can all be solved without upsetting the dynamics of the system, and once solved we will all live happily ever after. | Modernism is profoundly [[determinist]], [[rationalist]], assumes the world is therefore a static place which even the hardest problems can be solved — that machines can be built that can divine the answers to questions our (gormless) mortal minds cannot handle, and in that sense is in equal parts utopian, delusional and ''lazy'': it believes that difficult stuff can all be solved without upsetting the dynamics of the system, and once solved we will all live happily ever after. | ||
