Facebook, CNN, and G-d: Trends in the Zeitgeist
Dear Friends,
Humanity’s vision is constantly expanding. Sometimes this happens in ways that we understand, for instance the scientific and technological breakthroughs that are taking place everyday. Sometimes advances are taking place but because we don’t have the vessels to hold the light, they manifest themselves as negatives. In this week’s talk, we explore two surprising places where we see this dynamic playing itself out — in the 24 hour news cycle, and Facebook. Or put another way, in the elevation of “meaninglessness” and in “the death of privacy”.
