Yesss! This is so awesome to hear! I really loved exploring these philosophers for this piece. My brain is always on this journey that might not always make sense - but it makes sense to me! ha ha! I’m glad it made sense to you. I can get deep and I feel you are very much the same. I’m glad I wasn’t alone with the deleting thing. It feels so silly - but I was truly worried and now I don’t care as much. Writing is good for the soul and for moving forward. Thank you so much again Allison. oxox
I was practically reading about them myself when I remembered you were publishing for Lighthouse today!! I was so stoked! I’ll go down that rabbit hole any time!
Does Alexander have a superpower to bring us all together? I’m so blessed by each of you! 🤍
Yessss! He has a superpower! and I am blessed by you too and for sure, my very first friend here, @Alexander Semenyuk — and I LOVE rabbit holes. I can totally do this and then I end up overwhelmed with about 20 more story ideas! ha ha!
Wow, Deborah. That gives one a lot to chew on. In my day job, I work at pushing back against evil AI, and what do I use? AI that is good, at least for now. It makes you think.
Thank you for reading it Mark! and wow, using A.I. to push back the evil! I can see the good side, just like the original web and how we worried about the darker side of it. Having a computer when they were first afforded to us in the mid 80’s or at work - then the innocent games kids could play on them in the 80s - and one browser on the web. Watching it all grow through those decades ahead - definitely a good side and an extremely dark side. Now with A.I. it feels much quicker that the bad is interfering with much that used to be human reliance -- especially in the service industry. It's an insane can of worms to me. But we were forewarned.
So nice to meet you here and work together at Lighthouse 🙌🏻 💫
We don't live in darkness because the spirit leads us to the light . God is not found in digital or ai. Jesus Christ is our Saviour ,and help us without ,robots to guide us to Satan.
Tech is definitely getting to a dangerous level of smart because we’ve let it.
I think in many ways Substack is just going like other social media. When you acknowledge that it’s ultimately been created to make money rather than to give writers some sort of playground, then it makes more sense.
Whatever the ‘noise’, just stay true to what you’re putting out there. I think that’s all any of us can really do x
Absolutely. Substack is the new Instagram or whatever makes us feel this way. Follow the money. I’m done wanting to obsess to the point of wanting to leave. And even if I did? would I just quit on my own self? no!!! never! I love writing. We have to take our breaks, be ourselves, and put out what we want despite. If it also means chasing something new, more authentic? Then that’s what we’ve already been doing. This whole A.I. takeover does feel a bit more evil though. But then — humans are notorious for ruining a good thing.
Yes. It was so much better on here when the admins used to ask people to engage with them about changes they’d like to see instead of it all being automated by robots. Why would you want to keep engaging with one?
I dislike the way all the big names have now found this place and set up camp here, yet another extension of their personal empire. Oh well! Keep calm and carry on as they say xx
Love Sheldon's book! I read it maybe 10 years ago and it wasn't until after I read it, that I found it was connected to the WWJD movement. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. That Plato quote sums it all up, doesn't it? That was my question constantly post 2020....why is everyone so afraid of the truth?? Or even looking for it. I guess self-deception has its rewards
That’s awesome! I was reading all about it as I was writing this and putting together the quotes that struck me from the names carved in the building, on a campus, that really has lost sight of what “living in thy Light” truly means. Right? The devil is most definitely having his way with stealing truth right out from under many a nose/eye/ear. Self-deceit is the worst. We can all go there too — that’s what’s so scary.
I’m in awe. I also love the classics and have a million things to discuss! Oh this is a delicious journey.
I also deleted things around that time… and thought the same.

I think Substack is not about people writing it's more political now very depressing than uplifting.
I agree and am trying to stay in good community here — so let’s keep searching for each other! I am so grateful for our friendship. ox

Yes Mary 💜. As long as we are choosing the Light we can live in it 🙏🏻 That is our greatest (sadly) human test.
Thank you friend. ox

100% agree with you. But yes. Carry on. My desire to write and my friends here are far more important. ox

Well done. I loved this. I too miss my What Would Jesus Do wristband from church.
Thank you Larry! So appreciate your comment -- and yes! We should start wearing those wristbands again 🙌🏻🙏🏻
