Pick away, I appreciate the engagement! It’s interesting to hear what this prompts from you. Orthoganality is a curious thing, and I would hope to get better at such things because one insecurity I had while writing this piece was that I don’t want to be so ‘Black Mirror’esque as to be ‘following the zeitgeist’; this was a thought experiment of my own that isn’t supposed to be technodisasterist, rather a cautionary tale.
Although I read a book in Japanese about Zen (Zen and Star Wars), I never internalised the idea of ko-an (a new word for me), so thank you for that.
