it is amazing though how history likes to rhyme. It is almost like we, as in our modern selves, just like it for the stories, but not for the lessons of fault our ancestors can teach us. As humans, we are resilient and adaptive. If only we remember that we were then maybe we could push further, rather than continue dwelling in a regressive mindset whilst simultaneously rooting ourselves in technological progression.
Good article! I like the way you were upfront at the end by admitting you use LLMs like Grok as research tools. AI chatbots are great mechanisms to use (if done right) in helping us shape our thoughts more profoundly. We still have to do the work though, the AI is only there as a "virtual assistant"... say a better version of Clippy.
I do the same with my pieces. I am a bit different. I'm not a fan of using chatbots entirely for research. But I do use it as a tool to help me draft my reflections. I will often spend a couple hours formulating through draft after draft of my own words in tools like Grok, Chatgpt or Copilot then ask it to help me articulate those words into a better form, so it doesn't sound like a 12 year old wrote it haha. Believe me, if I wrote my stuff without editing help, it would like a 12 year old.
I agree that the polarities like Greece and Rome never intended to care what you wish to believe on a religious or non-religious sense. Heck, Rome at its heighth never cared if you wish to worship many gods, one God or no gods. I mean, they tolerated the Jews. Their beef with early Christendom wasn't that we believed in one God and it was the "condemned criminal" Jesus. it was politically motivated that Christians weren't giving their allegiance to the State through the imperial cult of Caesar, and that we proclaimed one Lord, in Jesus the Nazarene as son of God. That wasn't religious indifference for the Romans; that was political sedition.
Thank you for reading zak! I will reply in detail later. I am always changing my process. Yes, we have to do the hard work to make an article GOOD. My weakness sometimes is overwriting with the research. Need to stay focused.
Same. One reason why I started writing my drafts and using them as full blown conversations with ai. If I didn't, I'd either underwrite or I'd severely overwrite. Ai just helps me condense it all into one cohesive piece that is also more profound in its language.
Thanks again for reading and commenting. I took a class recently and it helped me see that using AI is actually smart for writers. There are major accounts on here making a lot of money. They use AI but they use it the right way. The end product is their voice but they use it for the voice dumps and for getting some sharp bangin' lines in the article and for research. There's a lot of sub stacks making big bucks using AI.
And I decided last week to start adding AI commentary for the non-technical creator to my newsletter because there's just a lot of interest in it. I'm learning a lot as I go here from the class I took. I know it's of interest to people and I'm going to be honest about using it because a lot of people lie that they don't. Like I said there are people making hundreds of thousands of dollars on here using AI.
You would enjoy my friend's content then diving into chronotopology. And quite frankly, his theory that extends into continuation geometry is possibly proving God mathematically.

I read the Science of God 20 years ago. It blew my mind. Is it all right? I don't know. But thought provoking.
