I’ve been thinking a lot about the possibility of “changing the dream”, as Emilee discussed with you guys. I really love this ending question of yours, does our affection provide enough to build back with…
Individually, I know my affections are often pulled in many directions. Sometimes I can say Yes, the object of my affection is the Rock upon which to build. Culturally is another question. I guess that was the task of the prophets: speak to the people who probably won’t listen.
I feel the same… that’s why I’ve been thinking this over. I can fully admit I have some serious apocalyptic concerns, primarily AI and transhumanism. Holding the revelation of Christ as the supreme apocalypse in the only way I can keep those others in perspective.
Damn. Hit straight to the heart for me these last few weeks. I was reading Marc Auge’s Non-Places: An Introduction to Supermodernity last night and was taken by his reflection on the work of anthropologists and historians, where they align and diverge and how most are struggling—and have been since the 80s around the time the book was written—to contend with their perceptions of the increasing immanence of time creeping up on us. With technology at work, everything quickens and everything “feels” like an apocalypse even when few may actually be truly apocalyptic.
