  And you will find yourself reacting with "that's not what I meant" or "Stupid AI!" All kinds of training course offers on "AI for everyday people" are popping up all over the Internet. But here's the problem: Many of the people who sign up for those courses are either functionally illiterate or semi-literate. One of the critical keys to using AI is the user's ability to form grammatically-correct questions. I liken an AI inquiry to a spreadsheet formula. If all you are capable of doing is forming a simple spreadsheet formula, you aren't nearly as productive as someone who can form a complex formula. If you are not capable of forming a complex question using impeccable grammar, you are going to get in return a bunch of "I don't understand" or "Did you mean..." or "I cannot return an answer because..." results.  I remember sometime back in the 1980's or '90's reading an article about a new techn...

  The greatest existential threat to any nation is NEVER,  The Opposition Political Party. Climate Change. Natural Disasters. Food and Water Shortages. Disease. War with Other Nations. Civil War. The Education System. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Religious Division. Crime. The Internet. Social Media. Artificial Intelligence. The greatest existential threat to any and all nations is ALWAYS, un-Godliness.

Some 322 years ago a 28-year-old Scot by the name of Henry Scougal lost his life to disease. Scougal shared many personal attributes and accomplishments with Charlie Kirk. He took on significant roles at an unheard of age, such as teaching Philosophy at a college when he was 20. His subsequent ministry was spent primarily as a Professor on university campuses. When Scougal was nearing death in his 28th year, he wrote a treatise called "The Life of God in the Soul of Man." The treatise was a private letter to a personal friend, not intended to be published more broadly. "…but  Bishop Burnet,  seeing  it,  appreciated  it  so  highly that  he hastened  to  give  it  to  the  world with the  most  generous  and earnest  commendation.  "It  was written," he says, "by a pious and learned countryman of mine, for the private use of a noble friend of the author's, without the least design of...

Christians, I am one of those niggling Reformed Christians who believe that the office of Apostle has ceased. In that regard, I do not consider Charlie Kirk to have been an apostle. I also don’t consider you an apostle. And I don’t esteem myself an apostle.  But I do believe that Jesus certainly intended for us to follow the examples of the Apostles, and to experience the same kind of reactions to our Christian lives lived in obedience; and I would be surprised if Charlie Kirk did not agree. There are many passages in the Bible that we can cite in the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Perhaps none are more appropriate, comforting and necessary than the tenth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew.  I won’t reproduce Matthew 10 here, as you have (or should have) your Bible to consult. I will only say, that for those in the media and otherwise in the public eye, who are trying to make sense of it all, and who are asking questions about how we ought respond to not just Ch...

  The Assistant Director of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently posted the article: 8 Barbaric Criminal Illegal Aliens Finally Deported to South Sudan After Weeks of Delays by Activist Judges One of the questions that the article does not address—and something that came to my mind immediately—was this: Why would anybody who has even a semblance of fear and dread left in his otherwise completely seared conscience want to risk getting deported to South Sudan?  As the article pointed out, these criminals are so heinously bad that their countries of origin won't take them back. That leaves them with few options other than being deported to some human hell-hole of a nation like South Sudan. First, they can just take their chances and hope they will never get caught and deported from the United States. With recent SCOTUS decisions making that much less unlikely, and with no notable decrease in the Trump Administration's campaign to remove these worst-of-the-worst ille...
