I'm still working it out. I see glimmers of it in Einstein's attraction to Spinoza's pantheism, and in mathematicians' Platonism. It begins with a re-enchantment of nature, due to the horrifying absurdities entailed by strict naturalism (objectifying nature so it becomes fundamentally physical zombifies the universe, and so on). And then how would we cope with such an absurd, disturbing, atheistic ontology? With existential therapy and a transhumanist mission to colonize nature. I've written numerous articles that gesture in this direction, but I haven't written much that ties everything together, because I'm still pondering the implications.

Would it be elitist? Like any culture, it would have esoteric and exoteric forms, to suit different mentalities and social classes.
