“Vekkelsen har ikke oppstått fra tynn luft. Som alle tankefenomener, har begrepet sine røtter et sted. Opprinnelsen til fenomenet ligger langt tilbake i tid, men hovedimpulsen kommer fra mellomkrigstidens nymarxister hvis "kritiske teori" lever i beste velgående i akademiske kretser. Kritisk teori avviser verdinøytral vitenskap både som mulighet og ideal, og insisterer på at vitenskap skal være frigjørende og utelukkende kritisk til det bestående.”

“The birth of the Node is not the end of the human but the end of a particular fantasy of the human, the fantasy of sovereignty, of exception, of standing outside and above.”
