Joe Allen is the author of "Dark Aeon: Transhumanism and The War Against Humanity", a new book that tackles some of the moral, ethical, and philosophical questions regarding artificial intelligence and the merging of the human mind with computers (think Elon Musk's Nueralink).

In this episode of the podcast we discuss some of the theories behind where artificial intelligence may take us, how we can equip ourselves as humans for the incoming technological revolutions, and what spiritual questions arise when the lines between technology and humanity are seemingly washed away.

Arthur Kwon Lee is the most canceled fine artist in the world.  

Prior to Lee’s controversial cancellation, his paintings have won awards from George Washington University, the Korean Artists Association, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the inaugural title of 'Artist of the Year' by the Eileen Kaminsky Family Foundation. Lee’s hasty success in the NYC art industry was abruptly halted after his public stance against radical Leftism and his declaration of Christian art as the peak of aesthetic culture in the West. (From www.ArthurKwonLee.com)

In this episode of the podcast we discuss the reality of the fine art word, the philosophy of beauty, and work our way through some of the most  polarizing issues that have gripped our culture in recent times.
