IS IT ÖK TO BE A MYTHOLOGIST?

We recently re-discussed TP´s Luddite Article. Besides all the litcrit I
would like to apply a more simple and naive form of intertextuality. I´m
speaking of content, I´m speaking of TP´s dark remark  on the convering curves of
technological development in miniaturisation and biotechnology, which, in TP´s
opinion, is the Next Big Thing. 
So here´s a recent article (see below) dealing with converging curves of
technological development AND Luddism. (P.47 of 58) Very likely, Ray Kurzweil
knows TP´s article, or at least is influenced by people who know it. So TP´s
text can be studied, heavily influencing its context.

RELIGIÖN
We find religious motives in Kuzrweil´s otherwise pretty nerdy musings, and
we shurely won´t regard Ray a religious writer in the first place. So I don´t
regard TP a religious writer in the first place either. I vote for TP as a
sci-fi author on a state of the art level. Naturaly this would involve a sort
of anthropology and therefor religiön is a topic and that´s all. No matter if
TP himself believes in the Lörd the Fnörd or the Great Green Arclejuice.
This deals with intentio lectoris, not intentio auctoris, of course.
