I beat campaign Oryx today (cant wait to get raiding!) was awesome! However, I am struck by how much the taken resemble our society: mindless but driven. On a deeper level they embody an idea: that anything is true so long as science proves it, and whatever science proves is true. Its an idea that cant be banished: round earth, moon landings, invisible suction (gravity). All these spread by association, but have never been proven. They divide and spread like those nasty little psions ([b]thanks for hung jury Bungie![/b]) Our teachers tells us that "gravity" magically holds us to the earth. No further explanation given. What is the explanation of the taken? They are forms that once had wills, bent to the supreme will of a centralized force - Oryx. The mindless internet generation is "taken". We are bent to do whatever the magic circle of scientific magic thinking tells us. Read on twitter that some mystic called a "scientist" discovered gravitational waves, and the infection begins.
