The Ethics of Millionaire Status

This AI-related article is mildly interesting but also dubious at points. In addition to other issues, it touches on the growing concern surrounding the AI-bubble. Regardless of what AI does or fails to do, this hype alone and the potential for a burst and the economic fallout that results is becoming a substantial story on its own merits.

Gordon Wood, the 1619 Project, and the Radical Nature of the American Revolution

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2019/11/28/wood-n28.html

Given Gordon Wood's recent death (1933-2026), I thought it worth revisiting his comments on the 1619 Project - the attempt to cast colonial and Revolutionary War history in terms of attempts to promote and preserve slavery. For those who don't know, 1619 signifies the year slaves were first brought to colonial Virginia.

In other words (according to 1619), the whole reason there was a revolution to begin with was to defend slavery (against Britain's growing anti-slavery advocacy) and in fact British colonization was (to begin with) little more than a platform for profiting from slavery.

I post this with a few comments just to call attention to the kind of Two Kingdom Theology which needs to be rejected and opposed. It caught my eye because the author (Tom Hervey) was critical of Larry Ball, a Theonomist writer I have countered on many an occasion. Happy to see someone answering him, I was nevertheless mostly disappointed in Hervey's response.

It is commonly voiced within the circles of American Confessional Presbyterianism that Old Princeton ended when they carried BB Warfield out of Miller Chapel.

The Capitalist decadence masquerading as Cultural Revolution is now targeting the statue of John Witherspoon at Princeton University. Witherspoon was a pivotal figure in the school's history and is considered one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. As a slaveholder, the activists of the hour want his statue (or monument) removed and his legacy tarred.
