Conversation of Our Generation

The question of whether or not God is good came up recently in a debate on Twitter with Vin Armani and I, and it made me reevaluate my position on this. I was striving to reconcile the idea when a quote in Confessions by St. Augustine helped shed light on the idea.

Watching the season 1 finale of Westworld, I realized that this dilemma was coming. I don't know the technology behind it, nor can I predict the way we will legislate it. What I am going to try today is to begin to understand humanity in a spiritual way, but also juxtaposing it to machine learning. The question is what makes us human? Can we artificially create humans? What would be the tipping point from machine to human?

This issue is as much about understanding our nature and our consciousness as it is understanding what we create.

In reading St. Augustine's Confessions, I was struck by the story of Faustus and the beginning of Augustine's conversion to Christianity. I think I see this at large in American society today, and want to explain that.

Also, we will discuss what a cosmogony is and why we must reestablish one in our society today.

The jungle book it is a beautiful way to illustrate the cultivation of manhood in a young boy. These are a few lessons that reveal themselves to me more explicitly as I watched one of my favorite movies growing up now as an adult.Before I dive into the lessons, it's important to note that the premise of this story is that forces are driving Mowgli toward the village, which represents civilization, and others are pulling him back. The argument being made, in my opinion, is that his journey toward civilization is good.

Lesson 1: the truth can be deceiving

Lesson 2: don't get distracted by hedonism

Lesson 3: tools and the intellect are a gift to mankind

Lesson 4: women are the best way to point a man toward civilization

The Declaration of Independence and Constitution are two of the most important documents in the history of governance, especially in the United States. On the 4th of July, we celebrate the day we declared ourselves a free nation. The look into both of these documents is due to the fact that the Declaration of Independence was a vision statement for our country. The Constitution was the way that we would execute that vision.

Today, I talk about them both because I think it is important to keep the vision at the top of mind this week as we remember this incredible idea and event in human history.

Today, I am honored to welcome Dan Johnson of We Do Better to talk to me about how to help charities and organizations that provide better solutions to meeting human needs. His organization focuses on enacting charitable tax credits modeled after the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit so people can put their money into charities that are doing better than government at providing for human needs.

I have recently gotten involved in this organization in the action arm to pass one of these credits in Indianapolis to count against property taxes on an annual basis. I will be documenting my journey somewhat, or at least keeping you in the loop as I go through this.
