@joshua_craze @HSlim_Oxford @davidrieff end/ @davidrieff and I have shared briefly here, in a secular idiom, of a messianic politics to come.

@lukeburgis end/ My perspective, hardly original. Rather, fundamentally Jesuitical - in the sense, that is, of Teilhard de Chardin and Ivan Illich as patron saints of religious educators and media professionals, in the same breath. As the Jesus Event, of course.

Copy of tweet here:

It's all One Media Picture, of course: Girardian dialectics, the Life of Jesus, Jesuit culture, Gaia, the Web, bombing hospitals. Simply stated, wherever planetary media mimetically aims, so go we. At what, then? A Death Cult? Or at the Second Advent, as First, as Media Event?

Quoted by@UssamaMakdisi 1/ We're certainly ripe for the sudden, planetary irruption of a positive anthropology proving timely, coherent, comprehensible, accessible, democratically and universally 'catchy’, and which functionally addresses the totality of human and earthly needs.
