My Master’s thesis was an interdisciplinary approach to the evolutionary nature of Man both from a historical and a developmental perspective. It was an exploratory study of how we can use our historical and developmental evolutionary inheritance to help individuals with disabilities. Simultaneously I was personally involved in religious study. Those 2 intertwined into and nourished each other in wonderful ways I haven’t thought about in years. (That thesis was written years before we had today’s technology with hours of typing and re-retyping and literal cutting and pasting being the technology of the day.) The new technology that began to evolve looked so promising (word processing anyone?), but it now indeed looms large and potentially destructive. Are we to be the fallen angels, going to war with God only to be plummeted into the hell of subservience to our own creations? Thank you for including this delicious essay in your Substack. And I so look forward to your discussions on this deeply relevant conundrum.

Hmmm. I was sceptical about sub-contracting the essay out. It's a bit like a rail replacement service. But this is actually incredibly good. Thank you. It raises some very interesting questions.
