Holographic memoirs of a dream : the invention of tram hopping

The medium is the message in the first place: the medium as presence, as the author. His
contribution to the academic world is his academic Holographic Memoirs. His story, the
author's memoirs, is a fictive-narrative discourse with an organic ubuntu open-endedness.
The Hologram is both an autobiography, but also all the information at all places
simultaneously – nonlocal in quantum physical terms - within an intense hallucinating
dream: no illusion, but rather a HyperReality with all its Virtual Identities. The invention of
tram hopping is the plot of the story. The plot is like an hourglass where the first part of the
story is the emptying of the sand, the deconstruction of modernism, but while the top
chamber runs empty and the bottom chamber fills up, so the deconstruction is
simultaneously a dependent arising/(social) construction/ubuntuing to revival – the
synagogal Shekinah presence of YAHWEH. The top chamber is the unreasonable
Newtonian physics and the bottom chamber reasonable quantum physics. The
metaphysics (before the physics) of the top chamber is poststructuralism and
deconstruction, while the bottom chamber is the virtual Hebraic worldview that delutively
merges ubuntu and Buddhism. The long narrow neck in the middle is the moonily narrative
that lives us with psychology (Psycho-logic) lost in sociology (Social-physics).
Hermeneutics is set forth in the same contrasting hourglass of the top chamber, the
inherited tradition, emptying to what it should accomplish – (virtual) presence. / Philosophy and Systematic Theology / D. Th. (Systematic Theology)
