Don't try to "immanentize the eschaton..."

Post by AJMD429 »

.
The phrase is used at the end of this article. It is actually pretty appropriate.

I got to admit that's a phrase I hadn't ever heard before... :D

Doc, there's so many words out there that I have no use for but it's nice to know if I'm stuck with finding a way of expressing myself there are words out there that could come in handy....and at least send some folks running for a dictionary...

A nice thing to say if you are listening to some left-wing nutcase snowflake make idiotic comments as to act like you're considering what they're saying very thoughtfully, scratch your chin, and say "...I think what you just said is a classic illustration of the Dunning Kruger effect..."

The loony person will usually think you're agreeing and complimenting them when you're you are really saying how stupid they are... :x

The short form …

In political theory and theology, to immanentize the eschaton is a pejorative term referring to attempts to bring about utopian conditions in the world, and to effectively create heaven on earth.

Hmmm! Too many words? Orwell had a solution for that. He’s been right about a lot so far.
