As a fan of C.S. Lewis myself, I found this post/essay on the magic system found in book three of his Space Trilogy insightful. I appreciated the comparisons between magia and goeteia. I find that I am for magia and of the bringing-forth mentality. The subject of AI right now is simultaneously fascinating and frightening. I agree that artificial intelligence is being used in a challenging-forth model and 'zapping our volition', especially the volition of more young and impressionable minds. This, for me, is where the true terror lies. I echo your statement that if a person is in a position to bring forth a humanizing approach to tech, they should. It's desperately needed.
Very interesting! I love how you presented these different ways of thinking about magic and technology. I’ve got some new texts on my reading list thanks to this!
Awesome.
