A roundup of work I didn’t regret checking out this month.
Super Bowl Commercial Bubble Curse: AIs imitate Dot-Coms

…the characteristic structures and habits of modernity flow from the spring of the Reformation Eucharist. Some of these structures and habits are gains, because the Reformation was a genuine recovery of the gospel. But I have concentrated on the poisons of modernity that have come from divisions between Catholic and Protestant, and between Protestant and Protestant. Despite the anti-Galatian thrust of the Reformation, the Reformers ended up in a Galatianism of their own, drawing boundaries of purity and pollution, holy and profane. These have downstream effects in the bifurcation of symbol and nature, the formation of sacred nations, the implicit totalitarianism of liberal order.
That’s all for this month,
