I guess one difference between toxiplasmosis and technoplasmosis is the latter's hierarchically extractive nature? Toxiplasmosis feeds and reproduces the parasite; in technoplasmosis the parasite enriches a tiny elite.
A 1960’s theory in its truest form,”We shape our tools and thereafter, our tools shape us.” John Culkin summing up Marshall McLuhan’s warning. The Kodak brownie camera in 1900 created the snapshot and changed how we saw ourselves—but it was a tool we wielded. The camera didn’t act on changing our attention and behaviour to ensure it’s spread. Virus and illness indeed.

Nicely put!
Many thanks Neal.
Embodied spiritually, salvation from the left-brain beast (or parasite) !
