In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Vance's appeal to racism shows how bigotry is the unifying principle of the MAGA GOP. There is no other mechanism that these people value more for holding together the new right. It's saying, "Sure, life is worse, but do you want some nonwhite guy with a foreign-sounding name in charge? I didn't think so." That's it. No promise of competence. No plan to build a better future. All they have is appealing to the very worst aspects of human nature and fearmongering.

No. The earth produces enough for us. It doesn't produce enough, however, to accomodate for private planes, ai data centers, other corporate and billionare greed.
We need to eradicate these problems, not halve people.
