And so for me right now, this seems like a period where there could be a reorientation.
And the ones that are going to happen, that are going to come, are the ones that speak to people.
You mentioned AI.
There have been churches, they haven't stuck yet, but I could see this happening, where they're built around an AI.
The idea is AI will become so knowledgeable that it will almost basically be
and omniscient superintelligence.
Omniscient because it can know everything about you through what you do online, and superintelligence because it can solve problems better than humans can.
And so there are people who are thinking about churches around AI.
Will it stick or not?
I don't know.
But to the extent that a new faith can let people feel that presence of God, can solve some of their problems by helping them
feel connected to each other, reduce anxiety, reduce stress.
It wouldn't surprise me if something else comes now in this kind of moment of flux we're in.
No, but you're seeing it similar in Silicon Valley right now.
Like I think Peter Thiel is embracing Christianity.
Really?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Oh, okay.
Even Elon Musk, who's, I don't think he says he believes in God, but he says Christianity is a force for good in the world.
And so I think you're seeing this among a lot of tech sophisticates.
