JF Martel on Reality Sandwich
The Future is Immanent: Speculations on a Possible WorldGod is dead, long live the Alien. Faith in something that has passed (Jesus, Mohammed) has been replaced by hope for something to come. However, this something comes not to replace our reality (earthly paradise) but to expand it (interstellar civilization). The Other is a possible world.
The Kubrick GazeStanley Kubrick's films belong to the Gnostic hyperreal. They are psychedelic tours of history's dream galleries. They deal with power and the creation and destruction of values. Most importantly, their core is mystical, even shamanic.
