@LondonFfP @Bin_Bayyah Curious if a US presence was represented at your convivium? Its IT sages, on this trail for a while, are keenly alert to the threats and promise posed by ongoing, evolving trends in computer-mediated experience, and their larger, planetary, theo-political implications.

What is the inter-spiritual vision of revelation now emerging through a technology finally making possible a truly global gathering, synthesis, integration and summation of the multiplicity of revelations?
Open original document@paologranata Paolo, hello. Curious if you can point to a hermaneutic illuminating AI in specifically McLuhanesque terms?

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.

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.
