Longtime fan of Cal Newport. And I’m no hyper-rationalist, but reading this article from the NY Times, and especially the quote from Jensen Huang (below) as Cal’s proof positive that those who view A.I. cautiously are maybe “just being weird”, I only have one question: have none of you seen the movie WarGames?!

This excellent article from Dr. Nigel Cundy (the Quantum Thomist) - Does God cause the grass to grow?, reminds me a bit of how necessary childlike wonder is, and how we should all read more Chesterton. Here’s a quote from Orthodoxy:

\n
\n

It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we. The repetition in Nature may not be a mere recurrence; it may be a theatrical encore.

We cannot build a consumerist model of parish and then be surprised when consumers behave like consumers…Yet, the real risk is continuing to do what is not working.

Currently reading: The Hour of Testing by Donald Haggerty 📚. A nice quote from Yves Congar, O.P., from his book, The Meaning of Tradition:

\n

The whole of Christianity is contained in a sign of the cross; no theory of Redemption expresses half as much as a simple crucifix hung on a wall, erected as a wayside shrine or put on a tomb or altar. … This is why mere believers can transmit the whole of Tradition, even when they are quite ignorant of the terminology and subtleties of dogma.
