Gnon, the forces of nature, can't be a substitute for reason. Gnon doesn't tell you what to do. Gnon just kills you if you get it wrong. NRxs can't use reason to infer gnons wishes, because that's what progs do. (Its the progs who want to placate Gnon for putting too much CO2 into His atmosphere). NRxs can't use Burkean wisdom-of-the-ages, because of rapid technological change. Perhaps you need a special priesthood to interpret Gnon wishes. That was popular in the past.
Hence why Nyan talks of capturing Gnon, not worshiping him.
