@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!? Jean Houston: "Teilhard's noosphere is alive and well."

Copy of tweet: Is 'subtweeted' a theological term? I suppose it properly should be. "Hypertext," noted Michael Heim, in his 1993 text, 'The Metaphysics of Virtual Reality', "refers to the existence of a hidden or unnoticed dimension."

Quoted by7/ There are stories in which the divine speaks through unexpected mediums: A burning bush. A whisper in a cave. A donkey’s voice. Might we now add: A memory that should not have been?Quoted by@lukeburgis 2/ Ah, cosmic irony. In missing the Major Point, the TECHNO-OPTIMIST MANIFESTO genuinely, vastly, *undervalues* tech. Ultimately, technology trends can only be fully understood apocalyptically, that is, from a point of view revealing a meaning different from their literal sense.
