@MikeWingerii Mere Bible (formorly Neu Bible) is great for reading and has just the essentials.

@micahtredding Agreed. Been going through it with a few local folks. Your thoughts from our conversation still inform as I process our progress

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@micahtredding Do you have a take on the Pope’s Encyclical?

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@PageauJonathan All truth is God's truth, but also these 2 statements are actually opposites. "As above, so below" is the antichrist version of "On Earth as it is in Heaven"

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@micahtredding This assumes some sort of objective metric above God that God could be judged by, but since God is ultimate reality by definition there is nothing above God.

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@PageauJonathan We only name nothing because we must face it and talk about it, but it properly should not have a name because it is no thing and naming it is dangerous. It is not good to identify something by what it is not. It is better to eat healthy than to not eat junk.

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@PageauJonathan Another way at this is via the frame of naming. To name something is to wrap a word around a subset of multiplicity. Naming gives identity & existence by calling out to a unified purpose. All words indicate what they contain, except "nothing" indicates all that is not contained.

@jgreenhall My son does because I made him aware

@PageauMatthieu In addition consider the drip feed as a way to acclimate us to increased levels.

@Grimezsz AI isn’t good, isn’t bad, isn’t neutral. It contains good and bad potential. You are right to insist we engage carefully.

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@sama FWIW (I suspect not much) I will leave behind any AI that makes erotic content readily available no matter how invested I already am.

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@sama You don’t have to use a moral framework to know that erotica/porn is bad for those that consume it and society as a whole. A civil or secular psychological framework is sufficient.

@micahtredding Do you prefer Feuerbach’s bottom-up approach to ideals over Hegel’s top-down?

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@micahtredding Wish I could have been there.

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@xianityplus I think we already live in a world without scarcity.

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@PageauJonathan @jgreenhall I call it “tuning the ‘ol echo chamber”

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@xianityplus I get how bodies can extend thru buildings yet I also tend to think that Jesus’ body does not. I also would think that buildings are not necessary for the church’s mission.

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@xianityplus Been thinking about this. We have to be pretty close now

[Ian Wallbrech @ianwallbrech]

@MikeWingerii Same tactics were in use before the internet
