Course 5 Metacritique draws upon some of the earliest material posted on metahistory.org but frames it all in a new way and adds other, more recent talk and text to round out this tremendous topic. Of course, metacritique is more than a topic: it is a method, a way of handling language and assessing ideas. And more again, it is the gnostically critical approach to belief-systems…
As background to the text it is advised to listen carefully to this talk from the MED, titled “Wrangling the Ubervolk – Rally Round the Holocaust”.
Accusatory inversion cannot work unless those who perpetrate it are intensely anti-semantic. In other words, they take the stand that allows accusatory inversion by deliberately and perversely refusing to agree on the terms used in social discourse (to give it a polite name).
The background talk here goes to the core of social evil exhibited in misattribution. It also goes directly to the unique role of the German people in the destiny of the human species.
What comes to light in this talk is that historical review and revision can be added to the genre of metacritique. I was not savvy on historical review and revision at the time I wrote the foundational essays on metahistory.org.
