@EuroConOfficial @EsmeLKPartridge end/ @jamespoulos “Who has the fullness of soul in them, and the authority this vitality confers, to triumph over the computed and computing world in its worldliness, to redeem it and turn it back toward service to the given life of the world and we the living?” Suprahuman truth?

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: Moving on then, how do we address an Extinction Tyranny - Zuboff's "great lie that economic logic is the only model that will work" - so totalizing in its full-spectrum claim upon the nature of reality that we barely recognize peak modernism for the sheer deception it represents? I think it's increasingly obvious that the disasters of the 21st century share a common root in outsourcing perception of reality to models & theories advanced by a highly-paid new pseudo-priesthood. Accountability is impossible in this framework. It's up to us to look away. Thank you, Tara. Shi'ite messianism refers to a Cycle of Occultation, 'dawr al-satyr', and Cycle of Epiphany or Unveiling, 'dawr al-kashf' in how we per-ceive reality; Robert Bly, of 'healing the wounds of abstraction.' What, then, will survive the separation of life and law?
@TaraAnnThieke You name it. Ultimately, modernism's claim holds no more ontological purchase than an idea. René Guénon: “If everyone understood what the modern world really is, it would immediately cease to exist; it exists only by the negation of traditional and suprahuman truth.” Poof, then.
