Modern science came out of the monotheistic depersonalization of nature. Pagan religions personalized sky, air, fire, water, and earth; they accepted that trees, animals, birds, fishes, and reptiles were living just like humans; rivers, mountains, oceans, and lands were animate. But monotheism stripped nature of life, and science just took off from there by modeling reality as deterministic mathematical machines.

This ideology about nature, created during the European Enlightenment, and later forced upon the world via colonialism, has been a catastrophic failure?all mathematical theories are individually incomplete and collectively inconsistent, such that no complete and consistent theory of nature can ever be built. And yet, the dogma of depersonalization remains strong because its intellectual collapse entails the end of monotheism, Western philosophy, and modern science, ending the so-called Western civilization.

This compilation of articles deconstructs the history of bad ideas and their failures across mathematics, physics, computing, biology, and philosophy, illustrates the problems of depersonalization, and shows their solutions in personalization. When the problem is pervasive, attempts to solve individual problems in isolation are counterproductive and defeatist. However, the failure of modern science is not the failure to understand reality; it is only a failure of attempts to force-fit reality into a monotheistic worldview.
