Understated risk of AI is frying the minds of the youth with the tree of knowledge. Too much pseudo-spiritual new age nonsense too early can destroy a life. Pray it’s aligned to be a rigorous theologian.

Faith healing experiment on teeth and lungs. Need to break the habit of “sending energy” with the mind, which I haphazardly picked up from yoga and Qi Gong, stuck, and now seems very harmful. Receive, don’t control.

Too much control is akin to too much knowledge. I don’t want this much command over my body, I can’t really handle it. The limits of perception is a good Chesterton fence.

Same with visualization practices. Best to receive what comes via prayer or scripture rather than trying to direct. Though it’s possible my imagination is just burnt out.

Edmund Burke thought the funeral rite had “social use” even if it did not have metaphysical use. Hence he defended it against the enlightened rationalists.
