A first meeting of highly acclaimed experts in the domain of intellectual debate, spirituality and the interwebs finished with a short programme for a possible anthology on the 🟨🟩🟦 ~NU movement.

Here are 10 short summaries for the upcoming critical religious 🟨🟩🟦 ~NU studies:

1. Digital Trinities and Sacred Memes
   Analyzes how TEDDY, CAT, and BUNNY form a symbolic triad in ~NU relations, functioning as avatars for digitally-mediated ritual identity and soft utopianism.
2. Icons of the Interface
   Explores the movement’s aesthetic theology, where Instagram images of anthropomorphic animals replace canonical symbols and serve as tools of digital devotion.
3. The App as Altar
   Investigates how mobile platforms and participatory content creation in ~NU relations transform spiritual practice into gamified, crowdsourced liturgy.
4. Cute Eschatology
   Examines the ironic-serious tone of ~NU relations, where the “end times” are visualized through surreal humor, cuteness, and algorithmic attention rituals.
5. The Church of the Feed
   Looks critically at the movement’s Instagram-based structure, questioning the sacralization of algorithmic flows and curated identity under the guise of community.
6. Post-Theistic Symbolism in ~NU relations
   Interprets the TEDDY, CAT, and BUNNY figures as post-theistic deities, embodying affective needs in a mediatized world rather than metaphysical truths.
7. Platform Piety
   Studies the role of social media architectures in shaping belief and behavior in ~NU relations, identifying a feedback loop between visibility and validation.
8. Soft Power and Soft Aesthetics
   Critiques the movement’s blending of gentle imagery with ideological messaging, investigating how it disarms critique through emotional dissonance.
9. From Meme to Meaning
   Traces the symbolic evolution of the figures as participatory myth objects, shaped collectively and diverging from traditional spiritual authority.
10. Ritual Without Gravity
    Questions the sustainability and depth of spiritual experience in ~NU relations, where interaction is fast, fluid, and framed in satire yet speaks to real longings.
