From Consumption to Communion
The Grail Question, Moloch, Artificial Intelligence, and the Eucharistic Constitution of Technological CivilizationBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length6h 26m
About this audiobook
Artificial intelligence is not only a question of capability. It is a question of service: what our technologies protect, what they consume, whose capacities they enlarge, and whom they ultimately serve. Beginning with Jonathan Pageau’s symbols of the Grail, the lance, the wounded king, and Moloch, Dr. Bichara Sahely develops a life-coherent account of technological civilization. The work contrasts predatory consumption with Eucharistic communion, examines the enclosure of human capacity, and proposes a Eucharistic constitution of technology grounded in agency, truth, justice, ecological reciprocity, accountable limits, repair, and the civil commons. The central question beneath the machine is the question beneath civilization: Whom do we serve?
