@RDGStout end/ Yes, there's also the Logos. The Truth Power Itself (Heb 4:12, Eph 6:17, Rev 19:15, Isa 11:4, 2 Thess 2:8). And the New World Creation whereof the Gospel speaks? It sounds through the mercy, militant, of the Word; and the Empire succumbing to the fires of its own Speech Act.

Copy of thread here: Thread 1/ #WalterBrueggemann's 'The Practice of Prophetic Imagination’: “Prophetic preaching does not put people in crisis. Rather it names and makes palpable the crisis already pulsing among us...” “We are, for the most part, double-minded. There is hidden deep within most of us, I suspect, a profound tension between these narratives, knowing better than to trust the dominant narrative but having a huge stake in its being true, wanting the gospel narrative to be true...” “but reluctant to speak another language about the world other than the one in which we are palpably invested. It is the hard work of prophetic preaching, I propose, to make that tension explicit, available & visible, in order to permit informed, knowing choices.” - Brueggemann

What instead, then? What nature a coherent, personal response? 2/ What about a more generous evolutionary perspective? I co-hosted a Congressional Briefing on Computer Ethics in DC, back in the early 90's. Where my co-chair, Dr. Peter Tippett, then of Symantec, went on to consult to the Joint Chiefs of Staff on cyberwarfare, I arrived here.

Copy of tweet here: 1/2 Simultaneously, paralleling its colossal impetus, cloud imperialism's consolidation within and dependence upon an all-aggregating machine-abstraction, reveals the entire ontological edifice as, correspondingly, vastly more ephemeral and exposed than its engineers conceive. McLuhan was very fond of the phrase, "the Prince of this world, Satan, is a very great electrical engineer." And tailor to Emperors, too. The cyberspatial conglomeration of evil? A cosmic design feature, not a flaw, making it addressable, ultimately, in one fell swoop. 1 John 3:8 Technology is too often used as a stealth vector (often by private actors who control the tech) to enact, embody, or constitute quintessentially “political” matters — that is, matters concerning the allocation & legitimation of power & authority.
