@EuroConOfficial @EsmeLKPartridge Could be that AI functionally represents the latest, cosmic twist of an algorithmically-supercharged parsing mechanism. And perhaps the WWW exists to undo itself. Either way, getting Real and getting Down defines an existential essential of the Soul's walk Home. Dignity, yes.

@austeni @LSRIOxford @CampionOxf @NWirzba @tomasinsua end/ Ultimately, of course, the planet and our future are what we all share. In this light, prophetic earthwork transcends the schismatic distinctions of tribe, nation and religion in active, common assent to the truth of the neighborly. ‘Realocalization’ is how we describe it.

Quoted by@wself @jeff_bilbro @PeterMommsen This, from @wself, a read. Can we transcend a medium optimizing to dissolve the conditions where the Word arrives as address rather than exposure? What if the WWW is but an evolutionary half-way house, a stepping stone to a conscious archaism of sorts?Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @sebkrier @BVLSingler @mpshanahan Fascinating, the fascination of it. But has AI yet stumbled upon 1 Cor 1:19? Incompleteness itself as dimensional blind. Not digital mists but fog at sea. The beauty of a seasonal creek. Silence, radiant with tender presence. Terroir of humus. *whispers* Incarnation experience.Quoted by@sebkrier @BVLSingler @mpshanahan Fascinating, the fascination of it. But has AI yet stumbled upon 1 Cor 1:19?

Tragic and saddening to hear what their souls have lost, without knowing it. Then again, I've long intuited IT but an evolutionary half-way house, the stepping stone to an archaic return of sorts.Quoted by@johnmilbank3 @henryjkwallis I hear you, John. Of course you care, and care deeply. I love your Eye. And of course I didn't get here without soldiering, continuing. Our common calling, then, never to deny the horror, rather to end genocide itself. What, 100 years hence? A third Armenian genocide? God forbid.Quoted by@lukeburgis Kabir taught that we 'be slaves to intensity.' What isn't a school of hard knocks, that way? I find reaching no higher than down, or further in than out, 'so that one does not fall victim to the other', a reconciliation constituting redemption. There is no division, after all.
