If you don’t give over your intelligence to them in the first place you will not have to buy it back. You do not need what they are selling. You need your own mind and body and friends and books and a place outside to walk and think.

As I’ve said, sports betting is a scourge. And with young people, instead of learning to save and invest, they’re playing a game in which one always loses in the long run.
AI "putting words" to your thoughts is not you "doing the work." If AI writes the thoughts, they're not *your thoughts* any longer, no matter what prompt you put in. If you can't express it or write it, it's because you can't actually clearly think it.
Yes. Constant reliance on AI (in this case, LLMs) thwarts the development of virtues like art and understanding, and feeds vicious habits, like curiosity.
One of the highest callings in the vocation of teaching is to guide students into fascination with the world around them utilizing the subject matter that most fascinates you.
First day of school @fcakcmo was amazing! Year 3 of 6th grade OT, 8th grade spiritual formation, and 10th grade Christian theology is going to be the best one yet!
And we’re off! In-service days at my school are the sweetest moments of rallying the troops before the year starts. Catching up, gleaning insights for each other’s summers, and diving headlong in pursuit of excellence. I love this place, and I love these people.
John 13:34-35
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
I don’t know if our group qualifies as “mature” or “scholarly,” mainly because I’m there. But weekly service review, service planning, and sermon text study at WRBC is the most edifying part of my week after the Lord’s Day.
Don't?
More seriously, imagine if, instead of using AI to help write their sermons, pastors were to make a practice of gathering some mature and scholarly members of their congregations every week to discuss the passage they were going to preach upon that Sunday.
I’m looking forward to this one. I’m already convictionally and vocationally in the world of classical, Christian ed. But I read whatever @T_A_Gatewood tells me to.
