Can Socialists Actually Learn Anything?

by

I raised, in our after-Mass Bible study group — contrary to some Protestant claims, Catholics actually do read the Bible! — a theological question: can God, who is omniscient, learn?

Water Wars Were Supposed to Be Here by Now. AI May Have Other Plans.

by

Twenty years ago, military planners and policy experts warned that the wars of the future would be fought over water. The wars never came—at least not in the way we expected. Today, however, a new competitor is entering the fight for one of humanity’s most precious resources: artificial intelligence. As massive data centers consume vast amounts of power and cooling water, rivers, lakes, and aquifers are becoming strategic assets once again. The future battle for water may not involve tanks and soldiers, but corporations, regulators, and communities struggling to determine who gets access to the fuel that powers the digital age. Perhaps the water warriors of the early 2000s weren’t wrong. They were simply ahead of their time.

Most Americans would laugh at the idea of worshipping a golden calf.

What if it’s a collapse of confidence?

For generations we have been taught to trust retirement accounts, stock markets, debt-fueled growth, central banks, and an economic system so large that most people don’t understand how it actually works. We assume tomorrow will look like today because it always has. The people in Noah’s day thought the same thing. They were eating, drinking, marrying, buying, selling, building, and planning for the future right up until the moment their world disappeared beneath the waves. If the modern god of Mammon were ever exposed as a false idol, the greatest losses might not be financial. They might be spiritual. Millions would discover that the thing they trusted to save them never could. The question isn’t whether markets rise or fall. The question is whether your faith rises and falls with them.
