@antoniogm @kevin2kelly 3/ A way forward? The unicity of both realms as One conjoined reality? An experiential singularity. Teilhard de Chardin, for example, anticipated a radical, evolutionary, noospheric-enabled evocation of a higher sanity, in which we discover our shared soul. Cyberspace, holy, too.

@bratton @NoemaMag Thank you. And you’ll know @kevin2kelly, of course: “The apparent veil between the organic and the manufactured has crumpled to reveal that the two really are, and have always been, of one being. What should we call the common soul?”

Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @TaraAnnThieke True, the Technium Cult is, for the most part, missing it; where others, for their part, are blind to the evolutionary metaphysics of computer-mediated communion. Say what!? Twitter!? This stuff!? A transcendent experience!?

Yes, the Technium cult, largely blind, anthropocentric, diabolically absurd; and Kingsnorth, hands-down, one of our wisest. But he misses a critical, positive, Christological dimension, namely, IT as central to transcendent political intervention at the planetary level.Quoted by@leashless I farm.
