       If you wanted to check out my talk "Religious Belief and Practice in the Age of 'AI'" at the Pitts Theology Library at Emory University's Candler School of Theology but were unable to attend at the time of, it's now been published online.This was such an amazing conversation, and the audience provided some really wonderful questions to think through and with. I'm so thankful to have gotten this opportunity and such a receptive and engaged audience for a topic I've always thought was crucial, and which I think will only be more important in the coming years: Seriously engaging with tools and concepts from comparative religious studies, mythology, ritual studies, and the occult to help elucidate both major contextual cues about a LARGE swathe of past and present-day "AI" and tech culture, and also potential insights for how to both react to and shape those contexts.I hope you enjoy it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8JH0jAITng

       @Wolven Thank you for sharing this! I look forward to reading it.I'm still considering your provocative comments here about the Ouroboros symbol - not sure I agree, but they're worth thinking about.

       I've often talked about how, in order to best understand the historical contexts and present moment of "AI," people really need to be taking up tools and conceptual frameworks from not just philosophy, psychology, sociology, neuroscience, &c, but religious and ritual studies, myth, and the occult. This talk serves as an explainer on what I mean.
