Wisdom is the Principle Thing

Remember that ofttimes the wisdom of God appears as foolishness to men, but the greatest single lesson we can learn is that when God speaks and a man obeys, that man will always be right.

The Greek word for repentance denotes a change of mind, a fresh view about God, about oneself, and about the world. Since we are born into conditions of mortality, repentance comes to mean a turning of the heart and will to God, and a renunciation of sin to which we are naturally inclined.

God raises up wise men and prophets here and there among all the children of men, of their own tongue and nationality, speaking to them through means that they can comprehend. … All the great teachers are servants of God; among all nations and in all ages. They are inspired men, appointed to instruct God’s children according to the conditions in the midst of which he finds them.

Used wisely AI can support learning, creativity, and growth.
Used carelessly, it can make us dependent, distracted, or disconnected.
Growth comes by effort, agency, and personal revelation. These are things that no machine can substitute.
AI is a tool.

“We will not fulfill AI’s full potential until we make it as morally good as we make it powerful, and we will not reach our full human potential until we, and not any technology, take responsibility to chart our best future.”

World peace begins with individuals choosing to be peacemakers.

It is the aggregation of individual choices over time that forms and changes societies for good or ill. No one of us alone can change the world, but each of us can have an influence in the world.

You will never run out of bills to pay. You will run out of time. Take the trip. Make the memories. You only have one life.

Age is a quality of mind;
If your dreams you’ve left behind,
If hope is cold;
If you no longer look ahead,
If your ambitions’ fires are dead—
Then you are old.
But if from life you take the best,
And if in life you keep the zest,
If love you hold;
No matter how the years go by,
No matter how the birthdays fly—
You are not old.

The goal isn’t longer life.
It’s longer function and performance. Longer life is the side effect.

"If you can get 1% better each day for 1 year, you'll end up 37 times better by the time you're done. Conversely, if you get 1% worse each day for a year, you'll decline nearly down to Zero."

Artificial intelligence is amazing but lacks one important thing—understanding.

[Wisdom is the Principle Thing @AnthonyHoyle]

When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come close to the conclusion that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing absolute knowledge.
– Albert Einstein

Revelation consists of thoughts to the mind and feelings to the heart. When what we know in our mind is confirmed as true in our heart, that is the beginning of understanding. So understanding is the result of revelation, it’s not intellectual capacity.

Socialism is the theory that if you abolish profit, bread will somehow bake itself out of moral superiority.

[Wisdom is the Principle Thing @AnthonyHoyle]

Wisdom is useless unless you apply it.
And your life will begin to change quietly, powerfully, and permanently when you do.
