@unherd 1/ Simply stated, the false freedom of subjectively-isolated deferral and denial protects no one, least of all the transhumanist. The invisible foundations of concrete reality will not be denied: climate chaos forces a transcendent ultimatum upon our entire species.

Copy of tweet: Nick Routledge 3/ On the other, "Impartiality with regard to history," as Heschel clarifies, "is a pretense." Jung: “Invited or not, the Gods will be present.” William Irwin Thompson: “When we cannot create our destiny through enlightenment, our fate is inflicted upon us through ignorance.”
@ploughmansfolly Climate chaos, a primary 'eco-eschatological' facet of transcendent intervention at the planetary level; 'God entering history,' making nonsense of foundational axioms and assumptions sustaining dominative notions of legitimacy, leadership, strength, power, health and freedom.

“The question then arises,” states Robert Sardello, “if it becomes possible to accept that Sophia is behind all this change in the world, and that inviting her out of exile seems to be accompanied by such uncomfortable results, is it not better to keep her confined?” Funny you should ask, because where and when so very much of our activity and attention remains unhinged from the here and now, the upshots certainly aren’t. One sure glance at our world makes it plainly clear that favoring comfort over the demands of conscience, avoidance rather than commitment, ontological ‘tourism’ of whatever form in place of the diligence of tenure, and the reified in place of the real, has propelled us not only to a profoundly torn, diminished and dismal self-image but, as our scientific Cassandras daily confirm, an unprecedented extinction event. Not only is the repression of consequence doomed to defeat but, as Thomas Berry notes, “the desolation of the Earth is becoming the destiny of the human.”
