USA - Deep down, Technocrats know that they are sending humanity into a gulag of Scientific Dictatorship, and as a result, their conscience is pained. However, instead of turning to orthodox solutions like counseling, ethical discussion or traditional Western religion, they are turning to Eastern mysticism for answers. They get naked, practice mindfulness and chakra meditation, and meet their ‘inner net’. Many Christian apologists have written that Chakras are a portal to demonic possession. TN Editor
Silicon Valley, facing a crisis of the soul, has found a retreat center. It has been a hard year for the tech industry. Prominent figures like Sean Parker and Justin Rosenstein, horrified by what technology has become, have begun to publicly denounce companies like Facebook that made them rich.
And so Silicon Valley has come to the Esalen Institute, a storied hippie hotel here on the Pacific coast south of Carmel, California. After storm damage in the spring and a skeleton crew in the summer, the institute was fully reopened in October with a new director and a new mission: It will be a home for technologists to reckon with what they have built.
“There’s a dawning consciousness emerging in Silicon Valley as people recognize that their conventional success isn’t necessarily making the world a better place,” said Mr Tauber, 34, a former Google product manager and start-up executive coach. “The CEOs, inside they’re hurting. They can’t sleep at night.”
