Conscience
Discerning Deception
The increasing use of AI in out world will be used for great good in literature, economics, governing, solving problems, and the completion of the Great Commission. It’s an amazing knowledge accelerator.
It will also be used for evil–and could possibly be the force behind a future “Antichrist” to rule the world. The “World Ruler” may not be real– just a convincing counterfeit image run by AI programming. Call him/her the “Wizard of Oz on Steroids” during the End Times (“don’t look behind the curtain”).
But deception comes in all shapes and sizes.
We must learn to discern deception when we see it.
The Poison of Profanity
We live in a time of words–in person, print, on radio and television, and throughout the Internet.
I receive about 50 promotional emails, respond to scores of personal inquiries, participate in 10-20 phone conversations , and probably send out 30 texts every day. That’s besides all the personal conversations, scanning and watching the news/TV, and wondering how those celestial satellites can handle trillions of spoken words simultaneously.
We are awash in words in the 21st century–many laden with the poison of profanity.
What can we do about it?
I Miss Coats and Ties
This past week Majority leader Chuck Schumer D-NY changed the 234-year old dress code for the United States Senate. Senators will now be able to wear whatever they want on the chamber floor after Schumer directed the sergeant at arms not to enforce the Senate’s informal dress code.
Poof.
Two centuries of etiquette and excellence gone. For what and whom?
This is not the biggest issue facing our nation, but it’s a symptom of cultural rot. I don’t like it.
I miss ties and coats.
