I am pro consciousness, not anti-tech. Technology is just a way of skipping over the boring stuff if we know how to use it.
I remember when I was in the Air Force in Southern California. I was driving my car with a friend, and when I passed a truck, nearing the railroad track crossover and pulled back in to my lane we had not gone over the railroad track crossover, but we were beyond it. My consciousness and I think me, my car, and my friend skipped over the tracks like Stephen arriving near the chariot with the Ethiopian eunuch. My friend, Eddie Boren, looked at me and said, “we didn’t go over the tracks did we?” And I said no we didn’t. I said it was a miracle. On reflection over these many years I realized that we had just teleported. Then I recalled that I had been begging God to teleport me back to my military base so I wouldn’t have to walk the 7 miles. I think I had been asking for about a month since it was 7 miles to church from where I stayed. So God answered my prayer with a demonstration of power to show off to my friend who wasn’t a believer. The lesson I care carry with me today is that miracles are not proofs but demonstrations to those who need to see them. Now I feel like I was a brat for asking, but God‘s brat. I still think that about myself today.
Tech is certainly not God. But I think it is godly to use it like God would use it. I don’t think tech is an either/or proposition, just like I don’t think that living like a little stinker in a hidey-hole as a Russian monk to escape the world was a godly use of the human body.
I only shared this because there wasn't any share button at the top of the screen after I had read one paragraph! This is absolutely wonderfully h i g h larias and I enjoyed it immensely! PS yes duck, go!

Thanks for these lovely thoughts :)
Welcome. Maybe it's time to express these things more openly because we're ready for it.

Speaking of technology and speculations about the anti-Christ, Peter Thiel has been spouting off a lot.

It's like he just wants to mess with us.
