{{a|devil|{{image|Blackstar|png|The symbol of the great delamination.}}}}the online universe and the real universe diverged | {{a|devil|{{image|Blackstar|png|The symbol of the great delamination.}}}}The JC is cultivating a theory that, at a point in the last decade the online universe and the real universe diverged — “delaminated” — set off along their own independent, meandering trajectories ever since, finally lost contact and now bear absolutely no relation to each other. | ||
===The great delamination=== | |||
The [[JC]] dates that loss of contact to 2016 — specifically, 10 January 2016, or “[[BlackStar]]”. The “[[great delamination]]” at which the digital/analogue separation became irreversible, is a key inflexion point in the social history of the 21st century. | |||
The [[ | The digital and analogue worlds have become “[[non-overlapping magisteria]]” to use {{author|Stephen Jay Gould}}’s excellent term from {{br|Rocks of Ages}}. It is a category error to apply standards in one to situations arising in the other. | ||
===Disentanglement=== | |||
Because the magisteria are fully “disentangled” — the causal arrow is broken in both directions — it has become impossible for independent observers in one magisterium to understand corresponding rationales imported from the other. | |||
This presents a “cancellation problem” for subjects who still equate their own personal congnitive states between the two worlds. Whereas to an observer, digital person A and analogue person A’ are distinct and unconnected, in person A’s own mind they are if course I've and the same. | |||
Many of the serial sociopolitical and cultural disasters we are encountering at the moment are the result of people confusing their magisteria. | |||
