🐰 Are Humans Limitless? | Paul Kingsnorth, Against The Machine Book Study: Part 7

🐰 Down The Rabbit Hole 🕳️

“Modernity is a machine for destroying limits. The ideology of the Machine—the liberation of individual desire—sees our world as a blank slate to be written on afresh when the old limits of nature and culture are washed away. This is our faith: that breaking boundaries leads to happiness, that boundaries are barriers rather than opportunities. We strain against all limits. It is who we are.”

~ Paul Kingsnorth, Against The Machine, p. 99

LIVESTREAM AT 8:00PM (EST) TONIGHT (FRIDAY DECEMBER 5)

Greetings, dear newsletter subscriber,

Please forgive a belated message! Thanksgiving knocked me out of my schedule and I'm just catching up(!) I will be livestreaming this evening (Friday December 5) at 8pm EST (link above (in green)!)

In this week's video and blog post, I offer a reflection on Ch. 9, 10, & 11 of Kingsnorth's book. Among other things, I look at Kingsnorth's discussion of modernity's penchant for destroying boundaries and its conviction that, through technological means, humans can be "limitless."

You can find the full schedule on this week's Substack post...

Hope to see you this evening! Have a great weekend, and we'll see you again soon!

Warmly,

Herman
