Craig Detweiler Quotes
We will still need to consider the implications of our blind faith in technology because the iGods’ promises did not point to or include the divine. Instead, they suggested that we are becoming divine as we develop such amazing intelligence within smaller and smaller devices, so small that a point of Singularity will blur humanity with machine, our minds with eternity. Should we find this inspiring or distressing? What is the telos of technology—the end goal?
