Default Re: what does it all mean?

If, for a while, the ruse [is this the right word or is it "use"?]of desire is calculable for the uses of discipline, soon the repetition of guilt, justification, pseudoscientific theories, superstition, spurious authorities and classifications can be seen as the desperate effort to "normalize" formally the disturbance of [a discourse of splitting] that violates the rational, enlightened claims of its enunciatory modality.

I think the author has a poor grasp of some words and phrases he has used, and also has not really a good understanding of English grammar.

Basically he seems to be suggesting that by manipulating people's desires and needs, all these negative reactions will occur as an attempt to make sense of a world that has become fractured.
