Jesus: The Spiritual Trickster.

AI-generated image. I do not see Jesus primarily in the way many Christians describe him: as “King of Kings,” or “Lord of Lords.” Those titles belong to one interpretive layer, and perhaps an important one, but not the deepest or only one for me.

The Philosophy of God.

My thoughts on the philosophy of psychedelic research. AI-generated image. Note: I used artificial intelligence to edit my thoughts. It’s originally my thoughts, just edited.

Artificial Intelligence is Applied Metaphysics.

The deeper layers of AI. I once had the thought that perhaps metaphysicians are the most capable and useful discipline to maximize or leverage Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models.

ChatGPT’s Overview and Solutions to the US Healthcare System.

In the United States, Healthcare is one of those contentious topic that confuses the hell out of me in which either sides, whether you are pro-universal public healthcare, privatization, hybrid, etc, each have strong points, counterclaims, and evidence to back up their views. It is well established that the US has a strange, mixed, and … Continue reading ChatGPT’s Overview and Solutions to the US Healthcare System. →
