I didn’t realize you were a homeschooler! Do you have any historical posts about that? (I am, as well - although didn’t set out on that path intentionally…)
Great post. It’s funny you bring up the Sabbath; a few days ago, I just asked my wife the rhetorical question, is it legal for me to ask an agentic AI to do work for me if that works happens on Shabbat?
AI is still a tool, not consciousness. But the broader question of how we humans adopt AI without perverting our moral intuitions remains unanswered.
Imago Dei as a concept is lovely, but fraught. Are you saying the is human exceptionalism? Does it imply rights that other animals, plants, even rocks are not party to?
Everything is god (or nature, as I prefer), and nothing in it superior except that we think it so, which is a tenuous proposition.
Excellent read. Getting echoes of CS Lewis' Learning in Wartime piece throughout it:

Love the connection with Sabbath and Imago Dei. Thank you for your writing. Interesting fact... "Mens Et Manus" is also the MIT motto.

Before the pandemic, I designed a series of professional learning experiences for teachers using Knapp’s framework.

I’d be happy to chat and share my thoughts and learnings from our design sprints. They were so much fun!
This is a great read. Thanks for the info on Manus—I haven't gotten to look into it yet. And thanks for including me!
