Quote by Carlos Wallace

“I believe one of the greatest blessings God has bestowed on me (and there are quite a few) is my ability and willingness to learn from all I observe, encounter or undergo. I say this is a blessing because far too often we are so focused on our own lives we overlook the needs and wants of those closest to us.”

“AI is a tool and, like any tool, it can be used for positive and negative ends. It depends on the motives of the operator(s). There are benefits; it could revolutionise crime detection if utilized correctly, speed up and focus investigations and secure convictions. New technology will always be exploited before it is harnessed. That's human nature. With the internet as the perfect delivery mechanism, the effect of AI is multiplied infinitely. The danger is we may have invented our replacement that will one day outgrow us and evolve beyond us.”

“The Icarian Impulse With fruit of the knowledge tree, We took a bite from our world, Gaining serpent's destructive kiss, Malicious shortcuts paved "good." The shock setting of a precedent, Akin to committing bloody murder, Shedding the skin of equilibrium, As a lethal new dawn descends. Promethean self-replicating beings; Sacrilegious idols mirror our image, Synthetic, unsympathetic sentience, Masochistic puzzles of self-immolation.”

“We have been fooled by the people of this world into believing the material life and its luxuries are everlasting while they deviate us from our own self our very own identity, the image of God, the soul the command of the creator BE. The perfect sublime king who created all of us in perfection in his likeliness.”

“The first few lines of the third chapter run as follows: All significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularized theological concepts not only because of their historical development—in which they were transferred from theology to the theory of the state, whereby, for example, the omnipotent God became the omnipotent lawgiver—but also because of their systematic structure, the recognition of which is necessary for a sociological consideration of these concepts. The state of exception in jurisprudence is analogous to the miracle in theology. Only by being aware of this analogy can we appreciate the manner in which the philosophical idea of the state developed over the last few centuries. I had quickly come to see Carl Schmitt as an incarnation of Dostoevsky’s Grand Inquisitor. During a stormy conversation at Plettenberg in 1980, Carl Schmitt told me that anyone who failed to see that the Grand Inquisitor was right about the sentimentality of Jesuitical piety had grasped neither what a Church was for, nor what Dostoevsky—contrary to his own conviction—had “really conveyed, compelled by the sheer force of the way in which he posed the problem.” I always read Carl Schmitt with interest, often captivated by his intellectual brilliance and pithy style. But in every word I sensed something alien to me, the kind of fear and anxiety one has before a storm, an anxiety that lies concealed in the secularized messianic dart of Marxism. Carl Schmitt seemed to me to be the Grand Inquisitor of all heretics.”
