Baptisciple These 2 ElectroniContinents!
We start with Matthew 28, and eventually we will ask: Are these ElectroniContinents ethne (if I
have the Greek right)?
Then, if they are,
how should someone proceed to baptisciple them? Maybe I should give money for a missionary?
[A few notes will interrupt the argument, in order to give
background. A—Someone has quoted
Webster’s 1828 as defining a nation as ‘blood, soil, covenant’. B—Baptisciple
has shades of ‘going, disciple, baptizing, teaching,’ and ‘Build A Peace Tribe
(a Facebook Page, little used). Also,
Hugo (the Hugos) Gernsback’s ‘scientifiction,’ and of course,
‘deliverdict’. That’s context. Oh, I
don’t use ElectroniCountries because we are not at that stage now, and do the
200+ countries in the UN qualify as ‘ethne,’ or would it be more like the
Kurds, who live in 3 countries, that is an ‘ethne’—Bledsoe says Boulder and
Cambridge are the frontiers, for we know how to evangelize tribes.]
#1 candidate is from Joran Lanier’s book ‘Who Owns the
Future?’. He is worried about Big Data,
and wants a system in which participants in social media are also direct owners
and/or profiteers. I would say that he’s
worried that Big Data will railroad us, the future. He has a great example of a privatized
community using the legal contracts used for apps for a lemonade stand. It’s scary.
Using 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, a person might get to someone who could
do something here. But the question is,
about this #1 and the upcoming #2 ElectroniContinents, are they Matthew 28
ethne, and if so….
#2 is below. Hat Tip,
Blacklisted News. What caught my eye was
the talk of ‘start-up government, or an electronic nature..
Here’s more.
I comment: I think he's talking about
self-governing communities:CHH
From the article: He gave the example of the Cooperativa Integral Catalana (CIC), which he described as a “start-up government” that wants to provide basic services to its citizens and manage resources in a more efficient, democratic way than the state.

Finally, yes, this
is a serious question, maybe one of the Big Six in the 153Culture.
