Summary
<p>They're putting chips! In people's brains! We have to talk about it. But this is Young Heretics—so let's not talk about it from a panicked, world-is-ending catastrophe mindset, or from a naïve, tech-will-save us progressive mindset. With one eye on tradition and one eye on the future, I want to embark this week on an attempt to seriously argue that what we're doing with tech is, and always has been, actual magic—with all the enticements and dangers that come along with that.</p> <p>Pre-order my new book, <em>Light of the Mind, Light of the World</em>: <a href="https://a.co/d/2QccOfM">https://a.co/d/2QccOfM</a></p> <p>Subscribe to my new joint Substack with Andrew Klavan (no relation): <a href="https://thenewjerusalem.substack.com">https://thenewjerusalem.substack.com</a></p> <p>Take a look at Ralston College's MA in the Humanities: <a href="https://www.ralston.ac/humanities-ma">https://www.ralston.ac/humanities-ma</a></p> <p>Check out our sponsor, the Ancient Language Institute: <a href="https://ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics/">https://ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics/</a></p> <p>Sign up to be in the mailbag: <a href="https://rejoiceevermore.substack.com/">https://rejoiceevermore.substack.com/</a></p>
