    Have a great week everyone!!

    This electrical engineer wasn’t onboard with all the immediate concern about AI. With N. Korea,  Orange Hitler, and a world full of religious zealots I still believe the changes in our atmosphere should concern us the most.

    Does religion make people moral?

    – this article, about arrogantly boasting that being religious automatically equals righteousness, is one of the best I’ve ever read.
