a little around same period he’s projecting for the singularity, it seems. is there any cause-effect relationship between the two. will human life and death eventually become tradable commodities? will we ever get to The Hunger Games?🤷♂️

everything that pertains to me in 2023 has been accounted for by God in His Book.

“AlphaFold is the singular and momentous advance in life science that demonstrates the power of AI. Determining the 3D structure of a protein used to take many months or years, it now takes seconds.” interesting.

shareholder capitalism
stakeholder capitalism
at a certain level it is not war: it is a global wedding for peace. but at the other, it’s all out war!
me: any capitalism that *requires* coercion/shunting of human liberty is bad. away w/ the labels!
according to girard, God’s law against envy cues every other sin man commits, starting with adam and eve coveting God’s knowledge of good and evil. girard interprets shakespare’s major plays from the pov of the hidden connection btw envy, sin, the crucifixion & his resurrection.
