My latest books on a modern theology of Lust and Porn and how they're not the same thing.
And my thoughts on how exactly the online church orthodoxy was fored during COVID, or rather the years leading up to the pandemic.
AH, so were getting hunter seekers finally.
Can you guys build shield generator belts before you do anything else. I feel like they will be important later.
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.
The only vector for A.I. to be used by Christianity or the church is a replacement for every fruit and gift on the Holy Spirit.
"Or worse, why does he look like a tech bro?"
We tend not to think about clothing and what it symbolizes. Policemen, firemen, soldiers, nurses, all have uniforms that make them identifiable.
So, what about your pastor?
Why does your pastor wear a suit, the uniform of the commercial class professional, a businessman?
Or worse, why does he look like a tech bro?
It used to be that pastors wore robes. Today, we call them preaching robes, but strictly speaking they are academic robes. And when the pastor was the most educated man in most communities, it made a certain sense. It communicated that a serious, rigorous study of the Word was taking place.
But the “uniform” for the pastor is the vestment. If you are Protestant and think, that is a Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox thing, Lutheran clergy regularly wear vestments.
Something to consider when we think about what the “uniform” our clergy wear, is what message is being conveyed in the clothing they wear when performing their ministerial duties.

Coming, Not Going
"God cannot be worshiped rightly in any culture without that worship challenging and dislocating all idolatries. To focus on the right worship of God is to declare war, it is to throw down the gauntlet. This is because when we worship God rightly, we have ascended into the heavenly places in order to glorify the name of Jesus Christ. He is glorified in Heaven, and then we ask, in humble faith, for God to glorify His name on earth as it has just been glorified in heaven. This is something that God is pleased to do, and this is why we ask for His kingdom to come, not for His kingdom to go” (Empires of Dirt, pp. 247-248).
If you have no metric for how you would or could reverse the adoption of any technology or tech use in your organization.
You cannot justly say you are wisely using said technology.

Spent the last 2 weeks in Canada, and it's immediately clear why America will keep its competitive advantage forever.
Don't get me wrong, I love Canada! It's beautiful out here, and the people themselves are also lovely.
But! There is a serious lack of ambition, and an enormous amount of averseness to risk in a way that is not really fixable imo

"AI is in everything now, all the software you use. Even your refrigerator uses it. Why not give it a try? You might like it!"
"Everyone is a little gay. Why don't you try sucking cock? Bend over for a second. You might like it!"
sigh..
Blessed Fulton Sheen is coming back — as an AI hologram.
Bishop Louis Tylka (@bshplou) wants visitors to be able to interact with and learn from the legendary Catholic broadcaster, who died in 1979 and was beatified in September.
