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 “[[great delamination]]” at which the digital/analogue separation became irreversible, is a key inflexion point in the social history of the 21st century. I cannot prove, or even adduce evidence, that Bowie was fundamental to things keeping together, but the dates check out. The great weirding commenced about then, and things have not really come right since. Trump, Brexit, Covid, Ukraine, Crypto, the neo space race — these are all symptoms of a collective mind that has lost its way. | ||
