Leonard Peikoff
In his groundbreaking and controversial book The DIM Hypothesis, Dr. Leonard Peikoff casts a penetrating new light on the process of human thought and thereby on Western culture and history.
In this far-reaching study, Peikoff identifies the three methods people use to integrate concrete data into a whole, as when connecting diverse experiments by a scientific theory, separate laws into a constitution, or single events into a story. The first method, in which data is integrated through rational means, he calls Integration. The second, which employs non-rational means, he calls Misintegration. The third is Disintegration–which is nihilism, the desire to tear things apart.
In The DIM Hypothesis Peikoff demonstrates the power of these three methods in shaping the West by using the categories to examine the culturally representative fields of literature, physics, education, and politics. His analysis illustrates how the historical trends in each field have been dominated by one of these three categories, not only today but during the whole progression of Western culture from its beginning in ancient Greece.
Extrapolating from the historical pattern he identifies, Peikoff concludes by explaining why the lights of the West are going out–and predicts the most likely future for the United States.

He shows how M in its various forms has dominated human history leading to self-denial morality and totalitarianism, how I sparked the Hellenic Age and fizzled under the Romans, how I rose again during the Enlightenment after a crushing millennium of heavy M, and how D nihilism starting with Kant is leading to the deconstruction of the freedom and industry that has made our modern world a paradise in terms of human history.
If none of that is clear, then read this book. Puts some real perspective on the religion of Wokism and our current decent into faith-based totalitarianism (written WAY before any of this was a thing.)
Sorry to say it's Peikoff's last book, but a fine way to end a career!
Brilliant theory. Watch the predictions come true!
