Description
Why is being human better than being a robot? That’s really the defining question of the Digital Era. And it’s the one we’re going to need to answer if we’re to promote human flourishing in an age where our rate of technological progress threatens to outstrip the rate at which we can grapple seriously with new and challenging moral questions.
This week, Rabbi Lamm unpacks all of this with James Poulos, Executive Editor of The American Mind. They talk about the different moral and political implications of TVs vs. smartphones, whether Alexis de Tocqueville foresaw America’s current problems, why religion will be crucial in the coming era, and much more.
