• "Christian parents cannot simply float passively along with the drift of our culture. We need to renew our commitment to wise, careful, attentive, biblical parenting.

The IARPA BRIAR program is a 48-month effort to deliver end-to-end software systems capable of detecting individuals at severe imaging conditions, extracting biometric signatures from the whole-body (such as an individual’s gait and/or body shape) and face, and fusing biometric information for robust multi-modal matching. The MSU project entitled “Physics-driven Modeling and Learning for Person Recognition at a Distance and Altitude” is led by Xiaoming Liu, an MSU Research Foundation Professor; Arun Ross, Martin J.

  • Explaining The Taylor Swift/Inanna Phenomenon;TAYLOR SWIFT OPENLY SPEAKS OF DEMONS DIRECTING HER-THE RISE OF GODDESS WORSHIP BEFORE THE WORLDS EYES!

    I’ve been trying to put my finger on the Taylor Swift phenomenon for some time now. Evidently people pay obscene amounts of money to see her, and she is breaking world records on her latest tour. By all accounts (well, not quite all) it’s worth seeing, as Miss Swift parades out on the stage in outfit after outfit and dazzles swarms of people with a show like Superbowl halftime on crack. What’s going on here really, though? In ancient Babylonian mythology, the goddess Inanna gets kicked out of the Babylonians’ version of the Garden of Eden, then returns to exact her revenge on its inhabitants and their god. For a brief time, Inanna was the chief goddess of the pantheon. When King Sargon the Akkadian appointed his daughter high priestess over the first Mesopotamian empire, she dedicated herself to the glories of Inanna. Unfortunately but unsurprisingly this included a lot of ritual sex. Inanna was the sex goddess not only of Babylon, but all the world. The Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, and pretty much everyone else recognized that they all worshiped this same goddess, though she had different names and slightly different origin stories depending on the culture. She was Aphrodite, Venus, Astarte, Ashtoreth, Isis, Lillith, and a host of other names. Yet everyone saw that she was really just the one spirit of illicit sex. Moderns don’t believe in spirits, demons, and goddesses — officially at least. We still have our myths about them, though, like Peter Pan’s Tinkerbell, the sexy fairy. Even in the 1950s Disney cartoon, Tinkerbell’s miniskirt is always just about ready to get hiked up too far. She cannot tolerate Peter’s interest in a sensible girl like Wendy. She would rather kill Wendy, in fact, than give up Peter to the pleasantries of a family life and devoted love in the bonds of marriage. Tinkerbell is one of the best pictures of Astarte in recent years, who comes to bring her flirtatious delights, stays to keep men in a state of perpetual adolescence, and would (if she could) kill the women who might possibly make us into men. I finally realized while listening to “Anti-hero” that she is the embodiment of the ancient goddess Astarte. But I was talking about Taylor Swift, or maybe I have been all this time

  • Many professing Christians fear death because, though they may consent to believing cognitively or, perhaps better, doctrinally, that salvation is only by faith in the meritorious work of Christ on the cross (Eph. 2:8-9), there yet exists a still, small voice within them that faintly but incessantly tries to convince them that their works (e.g. behavior), or lack thereof, will ultimately bring them short of heaven despite what Christ has vicariously accomplished on their behalf (Rom. 5:6).

    If that is where you are today as you read this, I want to encourage you with these words from the apostle John in 1 Jn. 2:25, “And this is the promise which He Himself has made to us: eternal life.” The word “promise” is the Greek noun “epaggelia” (ἐπαγγελία), a legal term which, in the context of 1 Jn. 2:25, means that God, who cannot lie (Num. 23:19; Tit. 1:2; Heb. 6:18), is unconditionally bound and obligated by His own word to bring to pass that which He has said He will do.

    In 1 Jn. 5:13, John writes, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.” If you have truly placed your faith and trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins (Rom. 10:9), you have eternal life right now—today. Moreover, you will never lose it (1 Pet. 1:3-9), because the God in whom you have placed your trust and faith has bound Himself—by Himself—to keep His promise.

    The only question now is: Are you going to believe God or that still, small voice in your head?

  • Silicon Valley’s Vision For A.I. Is Driven By A Perverted Need Of Religion, Immortality Without God Of The Bible

    Suppose I told you that in 10 years, the world as you know it will be over. You will live in a sort of paradise. You won’t get sick, or age, or die. Eternal life will be yours! Even better, your mind will be blissfully free of uncertainty — you’ll have access to perfect knowledge. Oh, and you’ll no longer be stuck on Earth. Instead, you can live up in the heavens. If I told you all this, would you assume that I was a religious preacher or an AI researcher? Either one would be a pretty solid guess. The more you listen to Silicon Valley’s discourse around AI, the more you hear echoes of religion. That’s because a lot of the excitement about building a superintelligent machine comes down to recycled religious ideas. Most secular technologists who are building AI just don’t recognize that. These technologists propose cheating death by uploading our minds to the cloud, where we can live digitally for all eternity. They talk about AI as a decision-making agent that can judge with mathematical certainty what’s optimal and what’s not. And they envision artificial general intelligence (AGI) — a hypothetical system that can match human problem-solving abilities across many domains — as an endeavor that guarantees human salvation if it goes well, even as it spells doom if it goes badly. These visions are almost identical to the visions of Christian eschatology, the branch of theology that deals with the “end times” or the final destiny of humanity. Christian eschatology tells us that we’re all headed toward the “four last things”: death, judgment, and heaven or hell. Although everyone who’s ever lived so far has died, we’ll be resurrected after the second coming of Christ to find out where we’ll live for all eternity. Our souls will face a final judgment, care of God, the perfect decision-maker. That will guarantee us heaven if it goes well, but hell if it goes badly. Five years ago, when I began attending conferences in Silicon Valley and first started to notice parallels like these between religion talk and AI talk

That’s because a lot of the excitement about building a superintelligent machine comes down to recycled religious ideas. Most secular technologists who are building AI just don’t recognize that. These technologists propose cheating death by uploading our minds to the cloud, where we can live digitally for all eternity. They talk about AI as a decision-making agent that can judge with mathematical certainty what’s optimal and what’s not. And they envision artificial general intelligence (AGI) — a hypothetical system that can match human problem-solving abilities across many domains — as an endeavor that guarantees human salvation if it goes well, even as it spells doom if it goes badly. These visions are almost identical to the visions of Christian eschatology, the branch of theology that deals with the “end times” or the final destiny of humanity. Christian eschatology tells us that we’re all headed toward the “four last things”: death, judgment, and heaven or hell. Although everyone who’s ever lived so far has died, we’ll be resurrected after the second coming of Christ to find out where we’ll live for all eternity. Our souls will face a final judgment, care of God, the perfect decision-maker. That will guarantee us heaven if it goes well, but hell if it goes badly.
