Summary: | “When I’m talking about the digital and what the digital makes possible, it becomes another world not unique to itself, not hermetically sealed off from some other modality, but in deep relation. The digital is another world through which we can practice thought with one another. Learning happens in digital space; argumentation happens in digital space; and pushback happens in digital space. Lots and lots of joking happens in digital space and a lot of people get angry about the joking that happens in digital space. Digital space is a place where thought happens. We can resist being sort of undone, we can resist being moved, we can resist being altered by the things that we are engaging in this other world of the digital. Or we can open ourselves up. We can be vulnerable. We can practice a certain kind of letting be of relation that allows us to be transformed by the zeros and the ones that constitute our capacity to be in relation with people globally with a certain kind of immediacy. How can we use that to cultivate a more just, equitable, and joyful world?”—Ashon Crawley © The Author(s) 2022.
