Leo is bringing back liberation theology even more than Francis. LT has a chance to become one of the most powerful intellectual currents of the XXI century, bc last time, in the XX, there were other influential voices critiquing capital, not just LT (and the pope was not LT). Liberation theology sounds different now when its the lone dissenting voice with global influence.

I think the Pope IS criticising use of AI generally. He is not limiting his critique to the use of autonomous weapons, but also looking and its wider consequences, like the effects on the environment and its effect on humans and humanity itself, raising a warning on the ethical implications of AI-use itself.

As a pretty ignorant 20 year old who is just now starting to become informed on the world I was born into, I’m very afraid very intimidated by the knowledge gap and directionless. I need help. Advice please I’m drowning.

I’m going to recite the entirety of Magnifica Humanitas from memory whenever I hear someone say “I asked AI” instead of looking it up or having a think

This post made me cry, made me think and most importantly lifted me up. It may be hard here but being human is such a beautiful thing. Your warm delivery and precise mind are refreshing. The loss of hope that has permeated my reality lately melted away. Thank you my dear!!

As you yourself note, you don’t need to be religious to see the wisdom and value of the Christian ideas you explain. This is a very fine post.

What a magnificent post. As you say, Pope Leo's words are not exclusively Catholic - correct! "catholic" - small "c" literally means "universal," "all- inclusive."
This world has begun to feel like we are, right now, living in hell. Not in a depressed way, but in a categorical way. I didn't think much about the endgame of capitalism when I was younger. Now it seems so obvious the true meaning of life is not the ability to achieve "success", but rather the ability to make a difference in another's life; a difference on this earth upon which we live.

What if it’s feudalism that synthesizes the contradictions between socialism and capitalism?
