@MassimoFaggioli @carolmaczim Most lucid. Can we also admit to a civilizational precipice limned upon the horizon of planetary eco-social collapse, and the Incarnation as a long convulsive struggle between the katechonic political theology of Empire and the activist political theology of the Kingdom of God?

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: · @nick_routledge and @Plough 3/ A primary peacemaking challenge, of course? Dominative global structures of consciousness and power militantly vested in a symbiotic, aggregate, existential imperative to eclipse the Messianic. No matter. The epistemic truth of Reality will not be denied nor its Time deferred. “The crises become “states of permanent exception and emergency,” and a permanent state of exception is, of course, no longer exceptional. Crisis is "our normal state", crisis that never resolves, “no crisis at all”. Why? Because resolving it would end the game.
@JYSexton In truth, it's all One Media Picture, isn't it? Call it the mimetic crescendo of a 'Media Event' then, the second-tier fabulism of techo-modernity stumbling unawares into the sunburst of revelation of a 'plot device' overturning the tables of history itself. The fat lady singing.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: 1/ Yes, even as our tendency to conflate the network's narrative edgeline with 'The State of the World', amounts to a category fallacy of cosmic proportions - as if the totality of planetary history and reality amounts to a downstream, behind-the-times, lesser subset, somewhere. Quote tweet: end/ Which brings us to the dirt under the fingernails of these, my transmitting fingers, uniting us all, root and branch, flesh and blood, off-screen and on-screen, in the dynamic interplay of a single helix of Presence.
