[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

"Just because you’re able to quote Camus, Nietzsche, or Kierkegaard doesn’t mean you feel the dread of life more than a rural farmer does. And just because you sit in a library and battle with abstractions doesn’t mean you understand the moral weight of duty better than a young, vibrant, uneducated man who was forced into the army at age eighteen"

We are all temporary witnesses of each other’s becoming. Sometimes I forget what a brief, holy job that is.

Christoph Waltz explaining Hegelian dialectics in a food YouTube show (in the context of ceviche) was not in my expectations today, but I’m all in for it

Two thousand people died in 48 hours to the point where the blood flooded the streets and it became visible through satellite images.

Writing this as I’m completely dissociated. I read it over and over and I still can’t feel anything.

Bury me with the pdfs I failed to read in life

'The love of libraries, like most loves, must be learned. I have no feelings of guilt regarding the books I have not read and perhaps will never read; I know that my books have unlimited patience. They will wait for me till the end of my days.'
