The God of Imagination

My summer reading this year included New York Times ubercolumnist Thomas Friedman's popular book The World is Flat. In it I found some interesting things to know about our fine Catholicist Nation.

To muse on those things with me, go here.

For a bit of exposition on the Catholicist Nation, take a peek here.

Finally Alchemy Success with the Magical Wonders of AI

Image
I was checking out The Matrix  again last night -- yes, I'd already seen it a few times. I really like the scene when Morpheus explains everything to Neo, much because the comes-the-dawn moment is the overarching goal of every follower of Christ in sharing the gospel with someone. Neo does take a bit of a leap of faith in swallowing the red pill, but that indeed is a lot of it -- a trope that has become quite common as you may well know. Want to know reality, really ? Then take the red pill. The problem is that so many believe that revelation from the red pill's effects only comes with identifying and embracing the proper conspiracy theories. The idea is you can BE FREE! once you understand what the Rothschilds have done or the Council on Foreign Relations has done or the CIA has done and is still doing and on and on and on and on and on  ad nauseam.  Now there is the AI to help you see. Supposedly . Actually it just makes it much more complicated and much more difficult ...

We All Though Really Just Really Really Want To Be In The Great Big Club

I was listening to a Greg Koukl podcast interview with fellow apologist Tim Barnett and it was all about the "AI." Very good stuff, there is always something new to discover not just about what should be called SPIT (Superfast Processing Information Technology) but how people are thinking about it and more importantly being captivated by what the Romanist mandarins are doing with it. Tim brought up something about it that relates to the seriously entrenched echo chambers the whole chatbot obsession is creating -- perfectly what the Jesuits want to happen!  -- everyone just living comfortably in their own "cognitive universes," as another pundit called them.  One of the examples Tim shared was how some detractors will incessantly post the notion that Christianity was the most oppressive, imperialist, just-plain-rotten thing that ever happened, you know the trope. Tim added in his own web efforts Red Pen Logic  he has had to set the record straight with all the great ...

The Tyranny of the Oppressed Immunocompromised

Image
The devil is having his way with millions right now. I guess he can't wait until they arrive in Hell. And I'm not talking about his ushering in those whose Covid-19 infection is sloughing off their mortal coils a bit sooner than they thought. Looking at the way people are behaving based on the pronouncements of the medical-journalist-political uber-mandarins, it is not surprising the devil has such a vise-grip on so many souls. This whole coronavirus thing isn't at all about the disease. It is about the standard operating procedure of Caesar's authoritarian System. I have to admit I borrowed the title from a pundit whose web published piece was "The Dictatorship of the Immunocompromised." Great title, decent piece, credit to him, but there are a number of others that are really good. How about this one from Kelleigh Nelson. This one from Matt Walsh is good. This one from Michael Fumento is excellent. What the devil is doing is massively emplo...
