Episode Synopsis

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, or A.I., humanity has now embarked upon a new Promethean fantasy of the soul. It has also opened up a new "Pandora's Box," with which we now have the tools and the power to make ourselves, the human race, obsolete. Amongst the very real existential crises and challenges this new technology potentially brings to our daily living, the quesiton of where soul is to be found is perhaps more prescient and vital than ever. An exploration of the Anima Mundi, or "soul of the world," may have something to teach us about how we can bring soul back, not just to our own species, but to the earth and all its various inhabitants as well. We will explore why soul, which can only be discovered in the imagination, is something that cannot be replicated or replaced artificially...and why this is where our hope lies. Join me for Part #2 of this 2-Part series on A.I. & The "Anima Mundi."
