Red Rock Eater Digest - The Return of Antimasonism in American Political Life

I got that feeling again this afternoon. For the last few months,

in amongst my official duties, I have been reading the literature on

apocalytic social movements. I was originally inspired in this by David

Noble's book "The Religion of Technology". Noble observes, for example,

that many of the important early engineers, particularly in the United

States, were Masons, and he describes the development of a particular

kind of millennialism -- or at least a secularized form of religious

utopianism -- among engineers that became secularized and formed the

outlines of technical movements such as artificial intelligence and --

he might as well have added -- cyberspace.
