@gilduran76 @WIRED end/ For Girard, the only counter is 'Christic'—an eschatological intervention that converts fear, desacralizes the control liturgy, re-aims desire, halts the death march of soul and state, and ends Hobbes' war of all against all. Freedom living in salvation, not canonized dread.

Tweets: Nobody tell him Quote tweet: Nothing can stop Palantir, nothing – Tweet: Belief in history as a self-interested concept, I ask ya. As if the agency immanent to reality itself of the sovereignty, telos and might of the Living God somehow wouldn't have the powers of the air dead center in its sights or, as one #TechTheoBro said to the other, 'Surprise!' No single pedagogical method is equal to the gospel transmission of a radical transformation in the meaning of power in the unitive core of the human being, whereby all the heart’s quests are revalued and hierarchies of history reversed. The last is now first and the first last. I shouldn't worry about Thiel or his ilk. Ultimately, he represents the precarious order of false transcendence of a demonic-complex unmasked, like a thief in the night, by the closing of an incarnational circuit 'not of (t)his world.' Kingdom Reality for Real takes no prisoners. It may help to say what the Messiah means by the 'reign of God' or 'Kingdom' or 'basileia' in New Testament Greek. It isn't heaven, a futurity, or where we go once we die. Rather, it's close at hand; a break-through into the Realness of _this_ realm; on Earth as it is in Heaven."

@HaddenTurner Saying 'no' to the Machine matters—but the deeper counter-word is the Word made flesh. Resistance isn’t only refusal; it’s Incarnation breaking the spell of the Apparatus—not by refusal alone but by unveiling. More than abstention: it is flesh and blood fidelity to the Kingdom.
