sometimes i think about how the power of the fears fluctuate through the centuries as human culture leans towards one or another

it seems to me that in jonah’s time the eye was a more minor power, relegated to stalkers in the night and misguided academics

but in modern times? there's cameras *everywhere, the western world is nearly entirely a surveillance state. at any moment you can be exposed to anyone with an internet connection

technology has surely skyrocketed the Eye’s level of influence

#thinking abt how i was reading a fic the other day where elias said the eye didnt agree with technology #and i was like!!!!!! NO!! you obviously dont understand the fear #cameras are the eyes greatest strength #i mean this is in the text as well #with the security guard statement and also the drones in the eyepocalypse #croaks #the magnus archives #tma #jonah when he got his eyepower #sure he could look thru any humans eyes #but now he has birds eye view in any city in the western world #hes sooo much more powerful now #jonah probably loves technology #which is why i headcanon him as being fairly tech savvy #and yes statements didnt record on modern technology but the tape recorders were web so
