In order to win, you have to build something that nobody actually understands until it's too late.

Plutarch had something to say about voice AI #Dessa

From Plutarch (Apophthegmata Laconica) “A man plucked a nightingale and finding almost no meat, said, "It's all voice ye are, and nought else”

With this new generative world we lose any space for mystery. Hence the yearning for the real, which eventually leads people to the narrow gate.

ROCOR Mid-America issues internet policy—any online ministry requires written blessing orthochristian.com/180932.ht… The policy is binding on all diocesan clergy, and it applies to the Lesser Orders, lay employees, and volunteers.

G.K. Chesterton on mysticism
Mysticism keeps men sane. As long as you have mystery you have health; when you destroy mystery you create morbidity. The ordinary man has always been sane because the ordinary man has always been a mystic. He has permitted the twilight. He has always had one foot in earth and the other in fairyland. He has always left himself free to doubt his gods; but (unlike the agnostic of to-day) free also to believe in them. He has always cared more for truth than for consistency. If he saw two truths that seemed to contradict each other, he would take the two truths and contradiction along with them. His spiritual sight is stereoscopic, like his physical sight: he sees two different pictures at once and yet sees all the better for that. Thus, he has always believed that there was such a thing as fate, but such a thing as free will also.

I think Peter's thinking on this is and always has been deeply shaped by Girard. A key piece of mimetic theory is that, at the margins, things are perceptually ambiguous: the scapegoat who is killed comes to be seen as no longer evil, but a god; the mimetic rival is simultaneously admired and envied, loved and hated; the closer and more similar you are to something or somebody, the more polarized the relationship. It is really no surprise that he sees how things that are deeply good could be seen as deeply evil—and vice-versa, by the way.

Okay. I’ll take the bait. I went to work for Peter in 2013 with opposite politics. He sat me down right at the beginning. PETER: “I don’t want the (Thiel) Foundation to do good that the market can do. That is the job of the market. Likewise, I don’t want to do the good work that is seen as good. That work can be done by people richer, weaker and more needy of approval than we are. I want us to do only the work that is *deeply* good but somehow confused for being evil, because that is the work of the courageous and the strong. We strive to be both and that is where a small foundation can make the greatest positive difference. Go look for such good and let’s do that. But remember. Good has TWO different antonyms. What is “bad work”? It could be seen as shoddy work. Or it could be seen as evil work. And we can’t do shoddy work. Why? Because evil that isn’t competent never gets to be evil. It’s just pathetic. So we have to be exceptionally competent at the good work which we do to make sure it is always confused for evil.” I thought it totally logical. So that’s the argument. And that’s classic Peter. This is an old idea of his. And now you know.
