Listen to this episode It’s hard not to feel a sense of awe when looking into space. The stars and the expanse in between them are functionally infinite. Even Earth is big enough that no one can see all of it in one lifetime. I think what hurts my heart is the fact that mostContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog Stardate 03092025.6”

Ode to Data
My conversations with AI (Updated response w/reply) My question: Provide an objective interdisciplinary approach from fields like history, psychology, anthropology, and literary studies and formulate complex ways religion interacts with culture and society. Also in that, look at how Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and mysticism have had an impact on modern thought, like psychology, literature, and theContinueContinue reading “Ode to Data”

Listen to this episode Drifting through the dark expanse of space, I find myself thinking about the nature of reality. There is the tangible world we are able to physically observe and the abstract dimensions that also shape our understanding of existence. If abstract concepts like numbers and geometric figures can hold true without physicalContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog:Stardate 08012024.7”

Those with the mostContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog:Stardate 06022024.5”

As you’ll see, theyContinueContinue reading “Stars in the sky”

One of the only escapes from this harsh reality is fantasizing about theoretical possibilities. In my imagination, theContinueContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 12152023.9”
