  • 22. A Philosophical Conversation with Anthropic AI: Part I

    Send us Fan Mail

    AI—especially Large Language Models (LLMs) such as Anthropic's Claude, Open AI’s Chat GPT,  Google’s Gemini, Microsoft’s Copilot, Musk’s Grok (etc.) ... are becoming mainstays of daily use in many people's lives. This conversation between myself and "Claude" (narrated by Dennis Hackney) provides an interesting contrast to the more basic, daily task sorts of prompts—attempting a deeper subject matter.

    Thanks to special guest Dennis Hackney for his narration of “Claude” in this episode (the first of two installments).

  • 19. Nuanced Thinking

    Send us Fan Mail

    To simplify is a thing to which most of us aspire. Anything that will bring some clarity in this increasingly noisy world…we’re looking for it. This is a noble ideal. Of course, not all things are simple. When we over-simplify across the board—even on those matters which are inherently complex—the simplistic solutions generated tend to fail us. There is a time for stark simplicity, but we also must know when more nuanced optionality is the right approach.

  • 18. Black/White Thinking

    Send us Fan Mail

    Yes or no. Save your explanations. It’s my way or the highway. Black/white thinking—hardly an uncommon style, needless to say. It is not stoic, nor elegant in its simplicity: is is merely lazy. It is a problem, it certainly creates problems…and though the tendency has been around since time immemorial—such callous thoughtlessness should not be well-regarded. It is not a good way to be.

  • 17. Rigidity

    Send us Fan Mail

    The unyielding, the proud beings of stone. We know these people. They are not rare. They are in our families; they are at our places of employment. We elect many of them to positions of importance. But should we? Is this a quality we actually want in our leaders?

  • 16. Lineage

    Send us Fan Mail

    What is the ancestral link to our current life? How should we honor the past? What are we to learn from the countless preceding lives that—quite literally—allowed for our own?

  • 15. Science

    Send us Fan Mail

    Science is one of the major world religions. The notion would be blasphemy to some. For others, though—science is their exclusive faith. Is it enough?

  • 14. Progress

    Send us Fan Mail

    Progress is the primary measure of our evolution as beings. For every problem standing before us, progress is the journey past them—and forward, on to new solutions.
