Confronting the State with the Person
This cleverly titled book begins with a discussion of the so-called Great Reset associated with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland, at which the global elite of business, government, finance, and nongovernmental organizations speculate on major challenges to the global order and their solutions. Somewhat boringly, the best and brightest parrot the usual bromides about equity, justice, the rich paying “their fair share,” sustainability, and climate change with such frequency that one might be...
The Digital Economy in Christian Perspective
In 2021 the pany of the massively popular social networking site Facebook changed its name to Meta Platforms. Mark Zuckerberg, its creator and chairman, plans for pany to develop a “metaverse,” a virtual reality (“VR”) world in which all kinds of social and economic business can be conducted by users via VR avatars and digital transactions. Not to be outdone, rapper Snoop Dogg has developed his own “Snoopverse,” and other celebrities are getting in on the VR real estate...
Our Smartphones, Our Humanity
By now it’s fairly well known just how much harm digital technology and the internet can do to individuals munities. They’re addictive distractions that isolate people from one another, and they have e the powerful propaganda tools, supplying a constant stream of misleading narratives, periodic outrages, and blatantly false information—all while claiming the mantel of truth and objectivity. Already adults suffer from their excessive consumption of shallow social media, mindless entertainment, and abundant pornography, but today’s children stand to...
Reason and Revelation in the Singularity
Harris Bor’s Staying Human: A Jewish Theology for the Age of Artificial Intelligence is an ambitious book. Its message can be put simply: Jewish religious tradition has the resources to respond to a world in which technology controls human beings. Bor is responding to the promise and threat of a future in which artificial intelligence renders human choice and individuality obsolete, a future Bor refers to as “the singularity,” following techno-futurist Ray Kurzweil. Bor is convinced that the singularity...
Friendship in the Age of Facebook
It was never lost on me that Aristotle dedicated two of the 10 books of his achean Ethics to friendship. He clearly considered it to be entirely essential to a good human life. His famous distinction between types of friendship serves us well still today: Friendships of pleasure are typical of the young and fade when the shared interest is gone; friendships of utility are more typical of older people but also fade when the utility does; and finally,...
Methods Out of Madness
In his famous poem “The Second Coming,” W.B. Yeats warns about what happens when a society, or in our case a church, descends into anarchy and lawlessness: Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate...
Are the New ‘Puritans’ Really Like the OG Puritans?
Henry Louis Mencken, America’s greatest raconteur journalist, famously described Puritanism as “the haunting fear that someone somewhere is having a good time.” In his essay “Puritanism as a Literary Force,” Mencken extended the argument, blaming this fear for deforming national culture. Americans, Mencken argued, habitually confused intellectual and aesthetic judgments with moral ones. Insistence that the true and the beautiful must be synonymous with the good not only stunted domestic genius but also prevented appreciation of superior foreign imports....
Jacques Ellul and the Idols of Transhumanism
Transhumanism is a vision of the future of humanity in which applied technologies are supposed to enhance and upgrade human existence. According to the transhumanist story, evolution has brought us very far indeed—to the moon and back, so far. Yet as an intelligent species, humanity is still very primitive and thus stands in need of upgrading. Given the rise of new technologies, transhumanists argue that we can—nay, e our current evolutionary limitations in terms of physiology, emotion, cognition, and...
