This is very thought provoking! I was one of those kids who had "hell scared out of them." If we have darkness suppressed, we won't be able to be present with it in others.

I immediately find myself wanting to share the image of the robot at prayer. I’ve already showed it to three people, asking, “Can robots pray?” This leads to so many more questions. Thank you, Julene for sending me into wonder.

Well, aspects of this feel like the beginning of a dystopian novel. Why does most of life feel like that now?

Haha, right? My neck is chronically tired from shaking my head so much in bewilderment!

I am very intrigued by your questions and will follow with much interest to see where this reflection is going! I also forwarded this substack to our son, who is a deep thinker about AI and the humanities. Thanks, Julene!
