This has really got my brain cell busy! I think it is also an interesting way of thinking about #hacking culture – no true curiosity about people’s lives and persons but the temptation to grab what is wanted as soon as it is wanted.
I am really interested in the ‘grabby’ character of life at the moment, and how digital culture hones this tendency/temptation in us, contra the non-grabbiness of the Christ-hymn in Phillipians. The Apple symbol is such a great icon of this. A couple of loosely related #digidiscipleship posts coming along soon from me on this…
Keep up the good digiwork. Really enjoying your blog.

Yes – brilliant!
And an absence of curiosity and an excess of temptation begins to sound like a really interesting commentary on our rioting culture…
