The Pope seems like someone who is a respectable thinker, who actually is not just going through the motions, but really taking things seriously and trying to do some good in various ways.

So that gave me the idea.

Why don't we have the Pope on the Mindscape podcast?

I think that Pope Leo would make a good podcast guest.

After all, we are both alumni of Villanova University.

You know, he's an Augustinian.

The Augustinians are the order that is in charge of Villanova.

And he was a math and statistics major back when he was an undergraduate, as well as being from the U.S.

And I think that there would be a wonderful conversation to be had about science and religion and AI and the human spirit and things like that.

Sadly, and I never do this, so I'm leaving this for a very offhanded intro to the AMA, I have no way of getting in touch with the pope.

I was talking with a fellow Villanovan just earlier today, which is what gave me the idea, but they don't have any connection to the Pope either.

So if anyone out there in podcast land knows how I can get in touch with the Pope to invite him on the podcast, I would love to do that.

As long as he's willing to talk for an hour over the internet then or in person for that matter.

I think we would have a wonderful conversation about philosophy and religion and science and a whole bunch of interesting things.

As always, you know, I do like to have people on the podcast.

I very often do that I don't completely agree with.

But I want people who I respect.

I want people who have something interesting to say that we can learn from.

That's the criterion.

Yeah.
