As a result of all this, many of us have developed ‘Machine’ imaginations. If, from a Christian worldview, we want to un-‘Machine’ our minds, it might help by opening our imaginations to the nature of reality as expressed by that worldview. This could happen in different ways, like spending more time in prayer, or through meditation on Scripture.  For example, if God thinks and feels and speaks—if God has something like a ‘mind’—then maybe to be fully human means exercising our own mental functions, and not enfeebling them through excessive device use. Or, if God is face-to-face relationship as a Trinity, then our real center is not within us, but within the other—in our real relationships. And if God made the earth, plants, and animals, then maybe being human means staying physically close to these things.   All that might sound very basic, yet in all these areas—mind, relationship, nature, embodiment—the ‘Machine’ competes against God, by framing every part of reality as a biological mechanism or a simulation, to be manipulated according to our caprice. I think this is where the real battle is—a battle to answer the question, “What is reality?” 

@staff if I have to deal with this every 7 days, so do you.

We do not need inclusive universities, businesses or societies.
