The Spiritual Dangers of AI. Part I.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is ensnaring society more quickly than the internet itself. Major companies are pouring massive investments into AI and aggressively promoting its use [1]. Even more pernicious, the uncontrolled growth of AI chatbots is already creating cases of dependency, addiction, and psychosis [2]. Clergy and laymen alike must become aware of the threat […]

Civilization and Environment

Those who look at the Parthenon, that incomparable symbol of the achievements of an ancient civilization, often do not see its wider setting. Behind the Acropolis, the bare dry mountains of Attica show their rocky bones against the blue Mediterranean sky, and the ruin of the finest temple built by the ancient Greeks is surrounded […]

Remembering Robbie: An Appreciation on Memorial Day

Robbie was the kindest person I ever knew. I met him in our dormitory the day we entered college in 1964. He saw me struggling to carry my big luggage crates up the two flights of stairs to my dorm room and, without saying a word, grabbed one and hauled it to the second floor. […]

She believes Paris should withdraw from NATO’s Joint Military Command. “I believe we should withdraw from NATO’s Joint Military Command,” Le Pen said on BFM-TV. At the […]

Trump VS Kentucky Republicans: Conflict Gaining Momentum

America First – Republicans have sided with the rebellious Thomas Massie, who was attacked by Trump for criticizing the war in Iran. Tucker Carlson has joined the fray. Lauren Boebert of Colorado has become the latest Republican to fall out of favor with Trump. She received her share of “happiness” for supporting Thomas Massie, a […]

The AI Job Apocalypse Is Already Happening

And What Democrats Should Pledge to Do About it. How can the stock market be rising to record levels while jobs and wages are going nowhere, most Americans are paying higher prices for just about everything, and consumer sentiment is in the dumps?

Why Bullies Always Fail — as Trump Is Failing

Trump’s might-makes-right lawlessness will be his downfall. If we’re not careful, it will be America’s as well.

American officials are scrambling to mount a search and rescue operation. Anyone recall that this was how the […]

Perennial Relevance of Dostoevsky

What makes Dostoevsky forever relevant is his dialectical approach to the most pressing issues of human predicament. Only in the eyes of the extremely naïve thinkers — doesn’t matter if they come from the right, left or center the issues that face modern day materialistic capitalist societies can be quantified, computerized, and resolved. For the […]

Ralph Fiennes the Master of the “Silent Explosion” Phenomenon

Ralph Fiennes always follows his own rules. Looking at his performance — whether in the Lord’s robes or in a haute couture suit, the viewer inevitably catches a cognitive dissonance. We expect a monster, but we get an abyss of charisma, the “gold standard” of cinematic noir, which is impossible (and, honestly, one does not […]

“Demons”: Film Adaptation or Interpretation?

Film adaptations and interpretations not only have different goals, but also appeal to different audiences. A film adaptation is offered, in a sense, “in place” of the book, a simplified version for those who may never read it; the director here plays an educational role, addressing the ignorant as one who knows, the superior as […]

“Master and Commander”

I envy those who haven’t watched it, because I want to erase this film from my memory and watch it again. Peter Weir’s “Master and Commander” is not just a battle film.

This is very, VERY sad news. I don’t want to exaggerate or draw premature conclusions, but this turn of events in the film industry is, to put it mildly, frightening and shocking.
