On the moment of Now.
Technology has perhaps skewed us in at least one beneficial way, both differential than my standard analysis as well as a relatively unlisted observation. Specifically, this is in the nature of meta-thinking. The delegation of tasks, even memory, to digital immediacy allows a freedom, and therefore a flexibility, that was not inherent to survival tribesman.
With this in mind, the Now-ness of survivalist earth-focused individuals could be considered paradoxical. The directions are different however. The pure survivalist would reduce conceptual frameworks outside of necessity. The technologically adept however would build a mountain out of those moments. Typically, this leads to detachment and isolation, as one loses sight of truth in the infinity of data. This is an error of over-focus only however. True transcendence both takes time, and does so by surpassing time (definitely its own subtopic).
In this regard however, it favors the left-brain, yang-side of things. It's use of language suggests that, but it is rarely spoken of in value at harmonics superior to the logic circuit. At least in respectable circles. I have analyzed this a few times, but have never incorporated it fully as an extension of language, and therefore a more generalized bias perspective. [Framework is related to the essential of the left/yang/binary bias]
Hedonistic purposes I have illuminated too fully, so let's focus on the meta-programming potential. At least theoretically there should be a direct relation between the value obtained from the left/yang synchronicity and incorporating technology into 7th circuit meta-self-programming. Despite the linguistic parallel, although bonus funny points on that one. Although the gap in action, jumping from the base logic of circuit 3 to circuit 7 self-design, is not as inherent as their similarities suggest. The logic of language and coding is all based in a linear time-dependent system. The failures of modern psychology are often due to their inability to access eternal aspects of self except by accident. Therefore the primary connection is only obvious if magnitude of scale is ignored.
To therefore grasp the answer, we would need to extrapolate a metaphor beyond its usual usage. Someone was a scholar and a gentleman, because only a gentleman - at that time determined by wealth - could afford to be a scholar. Technology has afforded many of the benefits of wealth to us. Yet we still individually decide how we build that matrix within ourselves and our connections. This could afford a greater number of individuals the time necessary to surpass time, and therefore delve into meta-self-programming.
