RT @nick_routledge: @paologranata Paolo, hello. Curious if you can point to a hermaneutic illuminating AI in specifically McLuhanesque terms? "I think we're now ready for the breakthrough that McLuhan lived his life waiting for." - Mark Stahlman, Center for the Study of Digital Life (youtu.be/oPP1J37i2Bk?t=1022)

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: Massimo, can't recall if I shared that I co-chaired a Congressional Briefing on Computer Ethics in DC, 30 years ago; and continue to pay attention. If I was hosting an AI Briefing today, I'd be inclined to suggest most are missing a deciding factor, namely, God participation. Quote tweet: end/ If AI-enhanced weaponization of mediated reality effectively represents the 'peak manipulation' of 'the rulers of the darkness of this world', a yet larger evolutionary trend subverts the whole big lie in a common, positive experiential turn toward Reality with a capital R.

Passage boundary: True the Technium / Is subtweeted Source: Preserve quoted-author distinctions; the containing tweet does not confer authorship. Copy of Tweet: Nick Routledge 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." With screenshot of Tweet: Nick Routledge 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." With Quote Tweet: Nick Routledge 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.

Passage boundary: substrative / furrows / circuit / planetary / renewing Source: Preserve quoted-author distinctions; the containing tweet does not confer authorship. @johnrobb end/ 'Owned' by the substrative deception of an enslaving epistemology fixed into furrows of death? More than likely, yes. What form a planetary circuit breaker, then? World liberation, as disruption and migration of planetary attention span? This time, a renewing network swarm.

As much as air and water, man-made media are environments, the garments worn by each technology. A light bulb creates an environment by its mere presence. Any new technology creates a new environment. It is the environment that changes people, not the technology. Environments are not passive wrappings, rather, active processes. For some biological, physiological reason, people never see the environment. Only the content *shows* and yet only the environment is really *active* as a shaping force. The ground-rules, pervasive structure and overall patterns of environments elude easy perception. The new environment is always invisible. If technology creates environments that brain-wash man, art creates anti-environments heightening consciousness. This need to confront environments with a certain antisocial power is manifest in the famous story, The Emperor's New Clothes. Once you see the boundaries of your environment, they are no longer the boundaries of your environment. Marshall McLuhan
