• Advent Anticipation in a Time of AI Anxiety

  We're living through wild times. In this episode I'm sharing how I'm holding anxiety about various AI possibilities within the season of Advent and its invitation.I talk about attachment hacking, cognitive atrophy, and the existential questions around artificial general intelligence. But more than that, I'm trying to practice what it means to face reality with courage while staying grounded in hope, embodiment, and the ever-coming Christ.The second half is a guided contemplative practice. An invitation to breathe, to be present in your body, and to bring your concerns to the divine one.The episode closes with "Breath," a track I created a while ago with Jon Reichardt that seems fitting here.Diary of a CEO episode mentioned with Tristan Harris: https://youtu.be/BFU1OCkhBwo?si=fOTYaQowSNMLg2Cm Want to reach out and let us know your thoughts or suggestions for the show?
