James Kent


"Human beings craft representations of their Gods based on the technological paradigms of their era. Over time, our Gods have evolved from primal personifications of nature; into clans of tribal warriors and elders; into a single wizened old sorcerer; into a clever cosmic clockmaker; and most recently, into a plastic universal field of morphic energy. Could it be that all of these characterizations are correct, and that the lens of our technology only makes the nature of God clearer through time? If so, what's next?"


James L. Kent knows his shit. read his super interesting book on the science of tripping, Psychedelic Information Theory: Shamanism in the Age of Reason.

Good point, though sometimes it's hard to arrive to definite conclusions
