Sandberg on Haldane's Daedalus: science changes material base, so no beliefs or institutions are safe
anderssandberg · x · 2026-11-07
Quoting the closing of Haldane's Daedalus (with a book-page photo), Sandberg highlights the Marxist-inflected point that only a Marxist then dared articulate plainly: since science changes material underpinnings and relations, it will change beliefs, values and institutions. Haldane's conclusion: "no beliefs, no values, no institutions are safe," and whether man survives his accessions of power "we cannot tell."
