“Notions of prisca theologia and philsophia perennis include the idea that there was a time before race, gender, and nationality; that sex was contained in an androgyne unity of opposites. If the process of moving to the perfected endpoint of history concerns the actualization of the perfected original form, then the process itself will demand a convergence of all things.
Think, for example, of the internationalist movements associated w/ the Left – the Communist International (Comintern), not to mention a global Caliphate. Perfectible futures that are equated with convergence demand that individual, individual groups, religious and national identity be converged (negated) as particular identities in order to realize the perfected universal form they will all find themselves sublimated into.
