Archbishop Anastasio #3

[Continued from Archbishop Anastasio #2. sch 4/1/23.]

Here is more to think of from Archbishop Anastasio's In Albania: Cross and Resurrection (St. Vladimir's Seminary Press, 2016) - globalism and information overload and a solution that is not reactionary populism:

...Human nature is more than mere knowledge. In our day, the world is inundated with information, which rarely matures into systematic knowledge. In the end, then, you do not arrive at wisdom, but only achieve specialization. Knowledge increasingly dissects us,instead of achieving synthesis. It may well cover certain domains satisfactorily, especially where faith has adopted formalism, but it can never replace the wonder before the boundless. For example, knowledge cannot substitute the sensitivity expressed in art. Human beings are something far more complex and much more explosively significant.

p. 258

Those worrying over AI supplanting humanity should think over this paragraph. 

Anyone equating Christianity with Margaret Atwood's Gilead should reconsider that equation.
