Extended description

and As McLuhan noted, "the Prince of this world, Satan, is a very great electrical engineer." The peculiar, sudden danger is that our lived environment is now being scripted by principalities and powers scaling toward total seizure of the metaphysical faculties of discernment itself. ‘Thus we Christians today are placed in the most difficult of all situations. We have to repudiate both the spirit of the age and the means that it employs. If we do not, if we yield even a fraction to those forces, we will betray Jesus Christ.’ —Jacques Ellul, What I Believe Our call, in practice, is to confront the simultaneity of the enormous force of the Zeitgeist and its primary, expressive medium. I wonder what Ellul, so presciently alert to the transcendent significance of wedded spiritual and media environments, would have made of the Web Era. 2/ As for Bulgakov’s “victory of good on the path of world-historical tragedy leading to the final separation of light and darkness"? It embraces a harvest of collective consciousness, disclosure and consequence in cyberspace as much as meatspace. We are a unicity, after all. Sanity keeps the minutes; fascism writes the outcomes. The mimetic lock-in of this theo-authoritarian complex admits no defeat within its runaway cultic logic—hence its air of inevitability. It cannot be argued down: only interrupted by truth disclosed at scale. Apocalypsis. Per Girard: mimetic rivalry now outpaces mediation, collapsing the political order itself. Neither politics nor its reform can save us—only an epistemic-ontic rupture: another measure of reality breaking into the present, reordering how we recognize what's real and act upon it. Quote tweet: 3/ Our world system doesn’t merely echo psychosis; it operationalizes it. Mimetic contagion fuses with institutional capture: virus and vector converge. A self-sanctifying, civilizational-delirium-complex locks in as a single extinction stack—consuming the civic psyche as fuel.
