"One thing seems clear: we cannot afford to think in the Manichaean terms that often characterize the debate on new technologies. Technology is neither a devil nor an angel. But neither is it simply a "tool,” a neutral extension of some rock-solid human nature. Technology is a trickster, and it has been so since the first culture hero taught the human tribe how to spin wool before he pulled it over our eyes. The trickster shows how intelligence fares in an unpredictable and chaotic world; he beckons us through the open doors of innovation and traps us in the prison of unintended consequences."

- Erik Davis, 'TechGnosis: Myth, Magic & Mysticism in the Age of Information'

"People in the 90s, and people still today to some degree, although, in the 90s, it was more obvious were like, oh, we're building the World Soul as we all get network together. We'll see that we're all one and we'll have no choice, but to overcome our enmity and sort of become a global, a planetary civilization, which was a big Motif in New Age thinking - this sort of planetary Consciousness.

Um, and cool, groovy, you know. Like, "Uh, you know, we're all one", right? But, actually, The Global Village is a paranoid place. That was the thing that Marshall McCluhan talked about in the 60s. He said, yeah, we're moving towards a global village and people tended to think he meant sort of, you know, like in a kind of a Walt Disney way like, oh, it's a little village, and we're all happy and together.

No, no, that's not what he meant at all. He meant it was going to be a place where everyone was aware of everybody else's business. There's a lot of backbiting, envy, social tension. You know, so it's a mix - it's a deeply mixed bag.

And I was able to articulate in a way both the Utopian and, if you will, the Demonic side of this kind of global technology. But a more, I think a better figure rather than thinking of the sort of angel-demon tension is, the thing about technology, in particular, if it has a mythological identity - it's the trickster and the tricksters bring gifts. And they bring pranks.

They can be devilish, they can be celebratory and erotic. They can open the gates to the other dimensions, and they can fool you. So all of those kind of qualities from a mythological level, I think that's at play inside our technology and that this just hasn't changed since, you know, 25 years ago when I was writing Techgnosis - it manifests in different ways. There are different. balances."

The point about doomscrolling, though, is that the quality of the information doesn’t matter. Sooner or later, as we feed on our feed, even the most clear-eyed and rational among us slips gears, a psychomagical ka-chunk that resounds like an ancient hammer blow or a crypt door in a vampire flick: BOOM. DOOM. At that moment, we are thrust beyond the Enlightenment’s circle of illumination, facing an inner dread and an outer darkness that only myth or religion or cosmic horror can limn.
