Chasing the Divine Machine

"The self is the alchemical vessel, and it is shaped by the practices our bodyminds engage in: art, diet, sex, dance, learning, sport, contemplation, friendship, ethics.

Such technologies of the self are largely automatic, but when the practices themselves begin to awaken and integrate, they become spiritual, in the broadest sense of the term."

-Erik Davis, Techgnosis



Doomerism, or the Black Pill, is no accident from misuse of the internet. Countless thought-terminating clichés and doomer rabbit holes litter the internet like so many pieces of discarded rubbish. With the closing of the Age of Information

and the beginning of the Age of Intelligence, we are lost in an ocean larger

than we could ever imagine.





Pursuing excellence, solemn purpose, and meaning are distractions compared to the real meat of the internet; the next best 10 minutes of your life. Over and over, thinking and reasoning become wasted energy.



Yet the search continues. Scrolling again, begging for something greater than yourself to grant the grace of meaning to this imperfect body. The redemption of laughter and the relief of crying again; meaning.
