In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Sept. 22 marks the fall equinox. That means day and night are nearly equal in length around the world, and in the Northern Hemisphere, fall begins. In the Southern Hemisphere, spring begins on this day.
you’d be surprised how much your life can change when you start believing the impossible is possible.
you start believing you can learn the skill. get the job. build the body. start the business. become the person you keep imagining.
then you start acting like it’s possible.
most people wait for proof before they believe in themselves. but sometimes you have to believe first, work for it, and let the results become the proof.
you could spend the next year being realistic about everything that might go wrong. or you could spend it being slightly delusional about everything that could go right.
either way, a year will pass.
at some point, you have to decide whether or not you are willing to be temporarily bad at the thing you claim you want to master. passion and ambition aren't enough unless you're willing to put the reps in. your calling requires dedication.
