What is 'the most important news of our time'?
Thoughts:
1--Technological advances. Diamandis and Kotler 'Abundance'
+
2--'Superabundance'--the in terms of time worked to buy
something, prices are going DOWN
3--Fifth Wave' of information, like unto writing at all
'First' and alphabet 'Second' Gurri's 'The Revolt of the Public'
4--More type of war. 4th generation, 5th and many we do't
know. Sun Tzu 'The greatest victory is when you opponent doesn't even know he's
in a war'
More?
Host A 12017 Rosenstock backward is Forward Expanded
Rosenstock once mentioned that Aquinas worked with
Aristotle, the Renaissance Plato, Erasmus toasted St. Socrates, Nietszche
emphasized pre-Socratics, etc.
Let’s add that anthropological studies , missionaries, and
late colonialism all worked with tribes.
Linnaeus did plants.
Darwin and Lyell were natural.
Then came astronomical efforts the culminated in a Big Bang
(an erstwhile humorism by Hoyle, who held to continuous creation of something small
in deep space) billions and billions (14.5?) of years ago.
Then subatomic particles, black holes, etc. were mentioned,
along with relativity, Heisenberg, Schroedinger, etc.—all pushing backward.
Then worked on was language and the speaker itself, with
deconstructionism of texts, punctuation, Gurri’s Fifth Wave of information, and
the fact that an individual human had 30# of other species of life in gut.
Now comes electric universe, and waves (Mumby) and gaia (sic, yes) to the universe
(Bloom who misses Augustine’s third Person)and being part of the whole.
Soon, some will get to Who is behind all this. They will see
and hear that they’ve gone as far back as they can, and with Eliot ’We shall
not cease from wandering, and then end of all that wandering shall be to arrive
back at where we started, and to know the place for the first time’. (paraphrase).
The Beatific Vision, the
Beatific Harmony, the Beatific Dance, the Beatific Opera—all will be
known ’For surely the Lord has made all things for Himself, even the wicked for
the day of calamity’.

Gestures, hmmm. One kabbala (spelling?) Meru claims that, iirc, the Hebrew alphabet is easily seen as images made by hand arrangements in a tent at night.
Newton and 'liturgy'. CALLED by the apple into a new condition. Why did that apple fall?CLEANSED by confession and authoritative forgiveness. He says he doesn't know, but is assured it can be figured out. CONSECRATED by readings and sermon. He has an hypothesis. Sermon. COMMUNED The hypothesis is tested, 2 ways. If bad, it 'dies'. COMMISSIONED in grace to graciously give this to the world. Thus, the scientific method follows the Bible. (I also can show how 'liturgy' follows the festival calendar of Israel.
