The Observable Universe

Strictly speaking, nothing is happening on the internet. It is an arena where people recite, replicate, and broadcast information, but the events themselves happen else-where. Maybe you react (viscerally) to a tweet - a thought plucked out of someone’s mind - but the reaction occurs in your own brain, not in a shared, breathable reality. Your reaction is to a screen and it is siphoned through a screen that removes traces of hair, skin, and teeth. Biological debris. Things indicative of a living presence.
