Xamanismo Coletivo<p>"It feels as if the whole world has been transformed into images of the world and has thus been drawn into the human realm, which now encompasses everything. There is no place, no thing, no person or phenomenon that I cannot obtain as image or <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/information" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>information</span></a>. One might think this adds substance to the world, since one knows more about it, not less, but the opposite is true: it empties the world; it becomes thinner. That’s because knowledge of the world and the experience of the world are two fundamentally different things. While knowledge has no particular time or place and can be transmitted, experience is tied to a specific time and place and can never be repeated. For the same reason, it also can’t be predicted. Exactly those two dimensions—the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/unrepeatable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unrepeatable</span></a> and the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/unpredictable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unpredictable</span></a>—are what <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> abolishes."</p><p><a href="https://harpers.org/archive/2025/06/the-reenchanted-world-karl-ove-knausgaard-digital-age/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">harpers.org/archive/2025/06/th</span><span class="invisible">e-reenchanted-world-karl-ove-knausgaard-digital-age/</span></a></p>
