Discovering Albert Camus

The Rejection Atheism in Favor of Traditional Religious Belief — I recently decided to refresh my knowledge and understanding of Albert Camus, a fascinating intellectual in the modern French literary, artistic and philosophical scene.

The Hubris of Insensitivity

How the sad walls of Affluence and White Privilege keep us in worlds light years apart — Once in a while, you just gotta rant. I recently heard the somewhat disturbing story of soon-to-be newlyweds who, despite all a steady stream of horrific news out of Hawaii, insisted on honeymooning on the devastated island of Maui. One hundred fourteen deaths, over 350 unaccounted for. Ashes still smoldering…

The AI inflection Point

Is Singularity the Next Stop or is ChatGPT just a bad psychedelic trip? — Folks this stuff on GenAI (short for generative AI), LLMs and generalized “Artificial Intelligences”, abbreviated AIs, is at the same time wondrous and unsettling.

How to become a better Catholic

Five themes that tell me I have a long way to go — Article Refined by a Pentecost Sermon on May 28th 2023. Catholicism is more than a theory, a set of long lived, and slowly expanding traditions of orthopraxy and orthodoxy. It is about faith, a deep personal belief in time tested traditions, often embattled, that have seen more, for more than…

Nostalgically Rediscovering Village Life

A Microcosm of sorrows, vibrant hopes and a balanced life that unravels at much slower pace — Author’s Note: A emotional reflection inspired by a late night conversation with my “Zia Clara”, that took place during a recent trip to my land of origin Calabria, the region of the Italian peninsula which often refer to as the “tip of the boot”.

What do you get when you mix ChatGPT, Classical Latin and Associative Thinking ?

Experiencing Latin from the Corner Pastry Shop -The ChatGPT Installment — ChatGPT is making headlines, positive and negative on a daily basis. And it has spurred some thinking on my end. Don’t know what ChatGPT is? Well, it is an A.I, an Artificial Intelligence, that is based on what researchers call a Large Language Model that is trained in “Natural Language…

The Meaning of LENT Distilled

With less than a week to go , a eureka moment of understanding — Inspired by the Gospel Readings of February 19, 2023 I am embarrassed, perhaps even ashamed to state and recognize that it would taked me so long, close to a half a lifetime, to gain a more solid understanding of the meaning of Lent.

Man is the measure of all things. Not !

Time of reset, for some inner soul searching, a contemplative spin — I recently had dinner with a very good friend in the West Village of NYC. Yes, the West Village, a place that might not be well known for deep religious fervor. Maybe I am wrong, so don’t hold it against me for I don’t have much to base that on…
