@JonHyde1871 @JoelStories Ooooh!

@BenjaminBlower @JoelStories bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00… i thought you might be interested in this 🧐

@free_oscillator @amicusadastra Yes, I think evangelicalism and protestantism in general are so rooted in print culture/modernity that they feel like they're dying. Interestingly it's the immersive/aural traditions that are growing: charismatic/Pentecostal/liturgical etc

@BenjaminBlower @amicusadastra even in canonical scripture there's a tension between written word and heard word, logos and rhema. I tend to think that this tension itself generates intellectual dynamism in Christianity, and as the age of print fades that tension may increase

it’s worth noting how Christianity was based in, born of, literacy. in the beginning was the word. Light! now, postliterate, what future?

What’s the best antidote for discouragement?

@amicusadastra I've always thought that Wes Anderson would make an excellent McLuhan movie. I was so convinced that it was an unavoidable combo and felt sure the only reason Anderson hadn't done it must be because it hadn't occurred to him.

kind of want to make a McLuhan movie that’s not a boring biopic

@UnhappyHippy @ESOldfield 2/2. & I worry that this undermines people and spaces, both within the group and outside it where traumatic suffering is pronounced.

@UnhappyHippy @ESOldfield 1/2. I guess it's become quite spectum-ish & maybe that's fine, but I feel like some fairly privileged groups are begining to adopt the term quite loosely, almost as a shared group narrative..
