The Neo-Dark Age



Who could have anticipated that the Information Age would turn out to be an Age of Ignorance, or a new Dark Age?




The glut of information is so overwhelming, the noise to signal ratio so completely out of balance, that we are, all of us, adrift in a sea of senseless data.

Only those who can make a connection with their daimon have any hope of navigating the chaos, of finding ports of refuge in the Howling.

Blake taught that the Poetic Genius resides in every human being, but the Genius of most people sleeps in its tent of battered clay. Few hear the call to rise up.

Fewer still find their way to the House of Song.
