Textual editors are scholars who restore literary works by recovering the author's intentions. That involves working with the original manuscripts and sorting out changes made by the publisher from those made by the author. This has a bearing on today's controversies over "sensitivity readers" and the bowdlerization of authors for offending woke sensibilities.
As Artificial Intelligence is getting better, human intelligence is getting worse. A study has found that IQ scores, which had been rising throughout the 20th century, have been falling throughout the 21st century.
C. S. Lewis is known for his Christian apologetics and his imaginative fiction, but he also wrote about politics. Specifically, his concerns about tyranny and totalitarianism, which, he said, often emerge as a response to people's fears and the state's promise to "make us good."
Jews have the best reputation and Evangelical Christians have the worst. People are falling in love with their Chatbot virtual companions. Scientists have generated mice without mothers. And government expands with a crisis but never contracts once the crisis is over.
Last week we tested the Artificial Intelligence-powered ChatGBT to see if it could generate a Lutheran sermon, with mostly unimpressive results. This week I wanted to drill down more to see how well it handles theology.
Ron DeSantis' caution over U.S. involvement in the war in Ukraine has produced a schism in the Republican party over the issue. The Democratic party has the support of its progressive wing in President Biden's policy pouring lots of money and weaponry into the war. What do you think our policy should be?
Old science purported to dispel mysteries. New science shows reality to be more mysterious than ever. This is evident in what quantum physics tells us about light. And it discloses more facets to Christ's statement that He is "the light of the world."
Republicans tend to be both social and economic conservatives. Democrats tend to be both social and economic progressives. But a good share of voters are social conservatives but economic progressives. That is, they are communitarians.
A writer observes that since "liberal" denotes freedom, tolerance, and individualism--values not typically honored today among "progressives"--they should more properly be called "leftists." Labels for conservatives can be similarly problematic.
