The Spiritual Function Of Technology (Another Swipe From My Twitter)

Sometimes I think the real primary function of technology is to give us better metaphors to understand ourselves with. How can you appreciate the Great Wheel of Life until you've invented the wheel? How can you comprehend the Great Chain of Being till you've forged a chain? How can you think "I wonder if this is just a computer simulation" without first creating a computer? Technology is not necessarily a false merkaba, it is just applied incorrectly in a spiritual sense. Technology is still valid.
