In Electric Dreams I call this “the dialectic of technological determinism.” We project onto technology our utopian visions of the future.

Withdrawing projections means realizing the power was within you all along. Your anima pop godess. Your puer rock star. Your Buddha-nature.

tedfriedman tedfriedman
But maturity & wisdom comes when we withdraw projections. See people & things for who & what they are in themselves.

tedfriedman tedfriedman
Projection is necessary & valuable – it’s what Robert Johnson calls “carrying your gold” when you’re not ready yet to carry it yourself.

tedfriedman tedfriedman
In Jungian terms, technological determinism is projection: giving power to machines that really belongs to ourselves….
