I didn’t read all this. I scrolled around. But I stopped on the few paragraphs about Harrington covering Barfield and Derrida. I haven’t read either.
Ok, so my thought is that we don’t take the “and” in Genesis 1:1 seriously enough. There is an overlap between heaven and earth. This overlap is the precise place where the Bible comes from.
Sidenote (not really a sidenote): I am becoming convinced that ideas are either the language of spirits (who live in heaven) or the poop / overflow of spirits. Every artists knows their ideas come from outside them.
Essentially, if you take a spiritual realm that overlaps and interlocks with earth seriously, then there’s a whole new possibility space for language. This is the direction I’m working on, until I find a better argument or dead-end myself. I also think science, (likely physics first, though maybe biology), will “prove this” before I die, assuming I live to my 80s—so in the next 50 years.
Sorry I didn’t read everything, but those couple paragraphs were just too good :)
It's very kind of you to give this article a look, Ethan, and certainly no issue not to read it all: a hope is actually people would just scroll through it and "apprehend" connections, just like the article discusses with Deleuze and Zwicky. And this is great what you wrote: 'Essentially, if you take a spiritual realm that overlaps and interlocks with earth seriously, then there’s a whole new possibility space for language.' Exactly, and I believe the SCM is the unique infrastructure than can actually help us experiment to realize this possibility of language. And where language is used differently, so we can develop differently as subjects, perhaps proving able to rise to the occasion of Global Pluralism and Technological Complexity.

Yeah, we have quite the occasion. It’s a good time to be alive if you like action.
Yes sir, it is.
