@pauljpastor 1/2 Which brings us to a practical concern with the nature of evil, doesn’t it? The false sacred disguised as true. 2 Cor. 11:14. According to the prophets, settling affairs for good, God's Day turns the tables upon all works banking on false gods dressed up as virtue. 1 John 3:8

Copy of tweet here: @JasJohl and @nils_gilman Bingo. *Choice* excerpt, Nils. Peculiar, isn't it, the evolutionary ontology of a noospheric, algorithmically-supercharged claim upon the private soul, and the planetary harvest of consequence, consciousness and disclosure it radically enhances, remaining, as a rule, unobserved. Quote tweet: "World War III will be a guerilla information war, with no division between civilian and military participation." That's Marshall McCluhan headlining a 2017 Atlantic Council report on the radically enhanced capabilities of AI-driven computational-propaganda for mind manipulation.
@Sophiologist_ A chorus of modern voices (Debord, McLuhan, et al.) go further, echoing planetary prophetology's epochal challenge to a form of totalizing, wall-to-wall propaganda (Ginsberg's "official version of history and reality") effectively "eclipsing the messianic experience". (Agamben)

Copy of tweet here: Exactly. Bly's 'wounds of abstraction' characterizing an all-encompassing pathology of consciousness; the totalizing hegemony this Spectacle of reification invisibly maintains; and homecoming to concrete reality as the salvational pivot returning us, finally, to freedom's ground. Quote 3/ We use the terms 'truth of the neighborly' or 'realocalization' to describe this emphatic, planetary shift in experiential locus, away from mediated Spectacle toward direct, proximate participation in a dynamic mutualism far transcending human limitations, genius and powers.
