Chatted with university (30,000+ students) counselor while we were both waiting for a store to open. She said she’s not just seeing a few, but a lot, of students who come to counseling because they are having trouble with their relationship with AI. My thread re #AI bsky.app/profile/stef... #Davos

6/6 AI cannot feel the inner changes in human beings which come from internalizing spiritual teachings, so AI would have lack of sympathetic feeling to assist people in learning about spirituality. How problematic these AI limitations in our present circumstances? re 4/6-6/6 @enviroman.bsky.social

My 40+ years of research (including risk assessment, solutions, spiritual wisdom, education, community organizing) points to this: To achieve higher levels of Honesty and Responsibility, we need smaller habitats and less complex cultures. I think the question below illuminates some of this point.

2/2 Many people can find contentment/quality of life while consuming much less material goods/ecological services. Limiting desires at “root” saves much trouble re symptoms (of unrestrained, or unexamined desires) as they materialize worldwide. Benefits of spiritual teachings often get overlooked.
