on a very surface level, think...hahaha yes awesome<br /><br />on a very surface level, thinking on the nature of machines (and technology) has led to my valuing the conceit of their embodiment. actor-network theory is a field which, though i'm in ignorance, seems relevant and has given me encouragement. this particular concoction of 'machine spirits' ignited what little i know of shinto (though any totemic/spirit-granting spirituality would work i guess, that's just my quasi-Japanophilic self). Then of course, there is brahman and hinduism...<br /><br />anyway, generic polytheism as a scheme for both 'de-religionizing' and intellectually legitimizing spirituality (everything is sacred, thus plurality and an generally lacksadical approach are permitted, existence is good, and so all things can be thought of as sacred)and for integrating into the self the supposedly mechanistic web of interactions which are crucial to our lives (from affection towards computers to choose-your-ecological-example) has given me some contentment, at least on the higher fleeting levels of thought where one is able to descend and surface without fear of the bends, and also appears related to your most enjoyable post. <br /><br />sorry for the verbal mishmash! i stand by very little of what i said, but wanted to say hello and say _something_. great blog, and i'm looking forward to reading more of it.zero referencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996128370825821029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461948747659071092.post-16567779049160652532010-12-23T13:49:33.663-08:002010-12-23T13:49:33.663-08:00i like the idea of "best go with" we'...i like the idea of "best go with" we're all different, every moment is different, our mood is different, our thoughts are different........if in the evening somebody decided to do a jogging...but in the morning, in 6a.m. it is not so easy to do that :).......... but this is hard to "go with it" we've told by society to do the opposite :( - to "not go with it" to go some ways that you have to go, be someone you have to be, do things that you've told to do etc..Vladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372904719609032280noreply@blogger.com
