Summary
<p>Myths, threads, and spider webs — that’s what the ladies of the Mosaic Ark discussed this week. Specifically, we discussed how all information from ancient times through the present, all history, literature, art, science, music, and religion have been compressed into a digital scroll that is now accessible to anyone with an internet connection. This ability to “scroll” information has also allowed people to start seeing the threads that run between all things and times, connecting them through a massive digital web. Quite a modern wonder, wouldn’t you say? Actually, some might say it is a return to the “pre-modern” world. Professor Rachel Fulton Brown has a more accurate take; it is a return to the medieval world. Join the ladies as they discuss what it means to live in the web, how we can distinguish myth from reality, and whether biblically accurate angels look like giant spiders. — Streamed December 13, 2024 </p><ul><li>On Joseph Campbell: “The God-Ridden Bigotry of the Globalist Monomyth” <a href="https://fencingbearatprayer.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-god-ridden-bigotry-of-globalist.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://fencingbearatprayer.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-god-ridden-bigotry-of-globalist.html</a> </li><li>On egregores: Mary Harrington, “Lily Phillips and the Spreadsheet Egregore” <a href="https://www.maryharrington.co.uk/p/lily-phillips-and-the-spreadsheet" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.maryharrington.co.uk/p/lily-phillips-and-the-spreadsheet</a></li></ul>
