Your first point about God’s transcendence made me think of the place of enchantment (vis-à-vis Charles Taylor’s Secular Age). Dis-enchantment was Modernity’s gift to us. Everything was knowable and firgure-out-able. It has been pointed out that this is where our draw to technology and gadgets comes from. It is almost magical. Even the ability to edit and apply filters to our reality, creates the illusion of living in an enchanted world. It is connected to a longing for transcendence. I see Yuval Harari tapping into this in Homo Deus. In the absence of actual transcendence, humanity manufactures artificial transcendence. Have you, Jason and Patrick had conversations along similar lines?
