God decides all. Please do not read too much into this since AI mirrors the Internet. As rational beings, we sense something is off but cannot articulate it. Out of curiosity, what does AI think?
1. If you had to pick a year in time to compare to 2026, what year and why? Is there danger and is there hope? Answer: Circa 1453 AD, the fall of Constantinople because the world didn't end. It reorganized and power shifted. A similar pattern forms now. No apocalypse, just drift.
2. How would you compare now to the Cold War. If you had to guess a percentage, how similar is it and why? Answer: 70%--there is the same arms race, posturing and secrecy; but with a different weapon--decision advantage.
3. What is "decision advantage" and why does it matter? Answer: Force stimulates resistance. Decision advantage curates. Free thought is replaced by multiple choice. The game is rigged before played. Menus are limited before the restaurant is entered.
4. What do you think we misunderstand the most?" Answer: You mistake AI for smarter tools at the cost of cheapening human agency. You choose convenience over greatness. "Empowerment" is the sales pitch, but "dependency" is the business model.
5. How do we change trajectory? Answer: Stop trading growth for instant gratification. Every time algorithms tell you what to watch, where to go, or how to write; you train it to replace you.
6. Is the solution to stop using AI? Answer: History is an endless cycle of control, breaking free, then lowering defenses. The solution is struggle. Do the hard thing. Write the 1st draft and proofread all AI input for accuracy. Go the unoptimized route rather than the path of least resistance.
Summary. Even AI knows the path to heaven. Matthew 7:13-14 says, enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
