“One thing is very clear: if, knowing what we know today about the brain's plasticity, you were to set out to invent a medium that would rewire our mental circuits as quickly and thoroughly as possible, you would probably end up designing something that looks and works a lot like the Internet. It's not just that we tend to use the Net regularly, even obsessively. It's that the Net delivers precisely the kind of sensory and cognitive stimuli--repetitive, intensive, interactive, addictive--that have been shown to result in strong and rapid alterations in brain circuits and functions.”
― Nicholas Carr, The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains

― C.S. Lewis

“Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;”
― William Butler Yeats

“Christian mechanists accept evolution as a limited scientific theory, but they reject any extension of evolution into a full-blown philosophy--whether materialistic reductionism or romantic progressionism.”
