This is just a note to follow up on the matter of electronic man as discarnate. I had noted that discarnate man has no private identity and no relation to Natural Law but, on the other hand, he retains, and perhaps intensifies, his relation to “supernatural” Law. This inclines him to totalitarian regimes, and to the acceptance of the State as God. In other words, a major sickness of our time is focused right here.
