event horizon

paul verilio's Open Sky has confirmed every fear i've had of modern society...
and gave me a few original thoughts of my own:

Under the context of stimuli theory: one, that people have varying degrees of needed stimuli; two, that people must fill this need somehow--consider the past.before the urbanism the filling stimuli was god.under the constant stimulation of new media--television, cell phones, internet, yes, even myspace--the former stimuli is replaced. Nietzche was wrong, in the modern age of immediate stimuli, god is not dead, he's unemployed. His/her job had been outsourced to the very media that destroys your place in the physical world.where is anima, the soul. Human life as we know it is over in much of the world, and for many of the people in it. The apocalypse is not far-off or iminent as we once imagined, it is here, in all dromospheric pollution that destroys our human way of life. The apocalypse is not a fixed event in time, it is your neighbor, your children, your friends and your family--it is any corrosion of our physical space in favor of sedentary telepresence. In other words, the instant communication of this message destroys the physical space of human existence, and hence, is apocalyptic.
