Earlier, I focused on the enormity of the Internet, the amount of the language it produces, and what impact this has upon writers. In this chapter I’d like to extend that idea and propose that, because of this new environment, a certain type of book is being written that’s not meant to be read as much as it’s meant to be thought about. I’ll give some examples of books that, in their construction, seem to be both mimicking and commenting on our engagement with digital words and, by so doing, propose new strategies for reading—or not reading.

Jesus only loses his cool a handful of times in the New Testament (just ask the moneychangers in the Temple), but he unleashes one of his fiercest tirades in Matthew 23 against the Pharisees and other "teachers of the law." In verses 13-39, known as "the seven woes," Jesus calls the Pharisees "hypocrites" six times. He also calls them "blind" (five times), "children of hell," "a brood of vipers" and compares the false piety and posturing of the Pharisees to "whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean."

The Pharisees of the New Testament are clearly cast as the bad guys, the perfect ideological and spiritual foils to Jesus and his followers. The Pharisees are portrayed as nitpicky enforcers of Jewish law who are focused so intently on the letter of the law that they miss the spirit entirely. As Jesus says:

1. The internet
A global connection
For all of humanity.

2. A spiritual path
Lies waiting to be found
At the click of a mouse.

3. The world is changing
And we are changing with it
As we connect online.

4. We are all one mind
Linked together by the Net
A vast consciousness.

5. The Net is a tool
For us to awaken to
Our true spiritual nature.

In “Borges and I’ by Jorge Luis Borges, we learn of Borges struggle between his name which is a representation of his public self and his true self which her refers as “I”. He goes on that though he is both Borges and “I”, he recognizes that both have a life of their own and they coexist with each other, though their relationship isn’t always perfect. He realizes that he is powerless to both and accepts that he “belongs” to them.

As with all things Remilia, remember: dissolution of consensus is praxis, a rhizome is an infinite rabbithole, God lights the path & guards the back of the righteous, order is fractal, karma is fate, love is power, everything is real, and interns wrote this post

Considered by many to be the most important unsolved problem in mathematics, the Riemann hypothesis makes precise predictions about the distribution of prime numbers.

This is also the reason why the circle was divided into 360°. If the circle is divided into two, three, four, ten, twelve, or thirty equal parts, each part will contain a whole number of degrees; and there are additional ways of dividing a circle that we did not mention. In ancient times, dividing a circle into equal-sized sectors with high precision was necessary for various artistic, astronomical, and engineering purposes. With a compass and protractor as the only available instruments, division of a circle into equal sectors had great practical value.

In the digital age, culture evolves at an unprecedented pace. Instead of eras or generations, entire cultures are born and forgotten within brief spans of months and weeks in the Network. The Network’s inhabitants coalesce and evolve their cultures through posting, both openly on forums and privately in groupchats. The Web functions both as a site for reading and writing: for writers it’s a vast supply text from which to construct literature; readers function in the same way, hacking a path through the morass of information, ultimately working as much at filtering as reading.
