"As with hit tunes and hit pictures and hit entertainments, fashion rushes in to fill the vacuum in our senses created by technological displacements. Perhaps that is why it seems to be the expression of such a colossal preference while it lasts. James Joyce gives it a key role in Finnegans Wake in his section on the Prankquean. The Prankquean is the very expression of war and aggression. In her life, clothing is weaponry: "I'm the queen of the castle and you're the dirty rascal." In the very opening line of Finnegans Wake — "riverrun, past Eve and Adam's..."— Joyce thus indicates the reversal of nature that has taken place since the fall of man. It is not the world of Adam and Eve, but one in which there is priority of Eve over Adam. Clothing as weaponry had become a primary social factor. Clothing is anti-environmental, but it also creates a new environment. It is also anti- the elements and anti-enemies and anti- competitors and anti-boredom." - page 21 / 22.

Marshall McLuhan, University of Toronto, 1968

Bible Verse

John 1:1 - God is a meme and only a meme.
John 1:1 - God is languages and only languages.
John 1:1 - God is words and only words.
John 1:1 - God is metaphors and only metaphors.

Bible Verse

"1 John 4:20" - You have never seen God because God is a metaphor and only a metaphor.
"1 John 4:20" - You have never seen Jesus because Jesus is not here in this Bible book.
"1 John 4:20" - Saying "I love Jesus" is wrong, because you have never seen Jesus, you have only seen words (John 1:1) in a storybook. Heard words, that's not a real person.

"Now, I don’t mean to say that Donald Trump is going to be president or get close. There is, for example, his hyper-hyperbolism and opportunism standing in the way." - April 19, 2011

Trump has been leaning into Christianity in his second term, going so far as to establish a White House Faith Office led by a televangelist who promises to send people angels if they pay her $1,000. During the campaign, Trump claimed to have been anointed by God.

It consists in the deification of technology, which means that the culture seeks its authorization in technology, finds its satisfactions in technology, and takes its orders from technology.” ― Neil Postman, Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology,1992

“What I had not realized is that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people.” ― Joseph Weizenbaum, MIT 1974
