Progressives across Texas are taking note of the recent return of former Tarrant County Democratic Party Chair Allison Campolo to that important post. As the political tides turn across the nation, a flip in Tarrant County would likely be a harbinger of even more widespread and long-overdue change across the Lone Star State, so having an experienced progressive fighter (and actual Kung Fu champion) in this key position is welcome news indeed.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 14 Juli 2025Bacaan: "..... Dengan bertobat dan tinggal diam kamu akan diselamatkan, dalam tinggal tenang dan percaya terletak kekuatanmu." (Yesaya 30:15)Renungan: Suatu ketika Tony Campolo menceritakan tentang kunjungannya ke rumah duka karena ada seseorang yang meninggal. Tanpa sengaja ia mengunjungi ruangan yang salah. Di ruangan itu hanya ada jenazah seorang laki-laki tua dan istrinya yang menjaga jenazah itu. Istrinya adalah satu-satunya pengunjung yang hadir. Wanita itu kelihatann begitu kesepian sehingga Campolo memutuskan untuk tetap tinggal dan mengikuti pemakaman. Ia bahkan mengantarkan jenazah itu ke tempat penguburan. Di akhir ibadah penguburan itu, Campolo akhirnya mengaku kepada janda itu bahwa ia tidak mengenal suaminya. Janda itu berkata, "Saya sudah menyadarinya. Tetapi hal itu tidak penting. Yang harus anda ketahui adalah betapa berartinya kehadiran anda dan apa yang anda lakukan untuk saya. Saya merasa tidak sendirian menanggung duka ini, karena kehadiran anda menguatkan saya." Seringkali orang yang sedang menderita perlu kehadiran orang-orang seperti Campolo. Seseorang yang hadir pada saat dibutuhkan, yang mau mendengar, yang tidak tergesa-gesa ingin pergi, yang bersedia memeluk, merangkul dan menangis bersama. Pendek kata, seseorang yang menyediakan diri dan mau menyelami perasaan orang yang sedang dalam kesusahan. Tuhan Yesus sudah memulainya untuk kita. Kini Ia mau kita melakukan hal yang sama terhadap sahabat, kenalan, keluarga dan orang-orang yang kita kasihi. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih karena Engkau selalu ada untukku. Walau secara jasmani Engkau tidak hadir dalam setiap kesusahanku, tapi kuasa penyertaan-Mu senantasa ada untukku. Terima kasih juga atas kehadiran-Mu dalam diri orang-orang yang senantiasa Kau kirim untuk menguatkan dan mendoakanku. Mampukan aku juga Yesus, agar kehadirankupun dapat memberikan kekuatan dan ketenangan bagi mereka yang mengalami pergumulan dalam hidupnya. Amin. (Dod).

Tony Campolo, the Baptist preacher, sociologist, Red Letter Christian and ceaseless campaigner for a Christian vision of social justice, has died. In this episode, we pay tribute to Tony in the best way we know how: by letting him speak for himself. Eventually. First, we talk about our own memories of him, and his influence on our theology. But once we've done making it about us, we share an interview with Tony from the vaults. In 2012, Tony Campolo was concerned about many of the things that are now even more pressing and horrifying. The interview feels prophetic in multiple understandings of the word, and Campolo is solid on everything from American militarism and imperialism to the incompatibility of Christian spirituality with right-wing ideological selfishness. His identification of the central problem with evangelical engagement with culture -- the idea that everything gets better if people become Christians -- is expressed particularly poignantly, considering where we are with the Church in the West. We hope you enjoy hearing from Tony again, and that you remember his family and friends at this time. Full disclosure: we also talk a lot about why we're excited about our new magazine, S(h)ibboleth. We hope it doesn't come across as a sales pitch and more as the genuine excitement we're feeling about connecting more Christians with similar beliefs and making the world better as a result. Naive? Maybe. Worth a shot? Sure. Fun? Hell yeah. Find out deets at shibbolethmag.com and beerchristianity.co.uk

AF - Agents that act for reasons: a thought experiment by Michele Campolo

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Agents that act for reasons: a thought experiment, published by Michele Campolo on January 24, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Posted also on the EA Forum. In Free agents I've given various ideas about how to design an AI that reasons like an independent thinker and reaches moral conclusions by doing so. Here I'd like to add another related idea, in the form of a short story / thought experiment. Cursed Somehow, you have been cursed. As a result of this unknown curse that is on you now, you are unable to have any positive or negative feeling. For example, you don't feel pain from injuries, nothing makes you anxious or excited or sad, you can't have fun anymore. If it helps you, imagine your visual field without colours, only with dull shades of black and white that never feel disgusting or beautiful. Before we get too depressed, let's add another detail: this curse also makes you immune to death (and other states similar to permanent sleep or unconsciousness). If you get stabbed, your body magically recovers as if nothing happened. Although this element might add a bit of fun to the story from our external perspective, keep in mind that the cursed version of you in the story doesn't feel curious about anything, nor has fun when thinking about the various things you could do as an immortal being. No one else is subject to the same curse. If you see someone having fun and laughing, the sentence "This person is feeling good right now" makes sense to you: although you can't imagine nor recall what feeling good feels like, your understanding of the world around you remained intact somehow. (Note: I am not saying that this is what would actually happen in a human being who actually lost the capacity for perceiving valence. It's a thought experiment!) Finally, let's also say that going back to your previous life is not an option. In this story, you can't learn anything about the cause of the curse or how to reverse it. To recap: You can't feel anything You can't die You can't go back to your previous state The curse only affects you. Others' experiences are normal. In this situation, what do you do? In philosophy, there is some discourse around reasons for actions, normative reasons, motivating reasons, blah blah blah. Every philosopher has their own theory and uses words differently, so instead of citing centuries of philosophical debates, I'll be maximally biased and use one framework that seems sensible to me. In Ethical Intuitionism, contemporary philosopher Michael Huemer distinguishes "four kinds of motivations we are subject to": Appetites: examples are hunger, thirst, lust (simple, instinctive desires) Emotions: anger, fear, love (emotional desires, they seem to involve a more sophisticated kind of cognition than appetites) Prudence: motivation to pursue or avoid something because it furthers or sets back one's own interests, like maintaining good health Impartial reasons: motivation to act due to what one recognises as good, fair, honest, et cetera. You can find more details in section 7.3 of the book. We can interpret the above thought experiment as asking: in the absence of appetites and emotions - call these two "desires", if you wish - what would you do? Without desires and without any kind of worry about your own death, does it still make sense to talk about self-interest? What would you do without desires and without self-interest? My guess is that, in the situation described in Cursed, at least some, if not many, would decide to do things for others. The underlying intuition seems to be that, without one's own emotional states and interests, one would prioritise others' emotional states and interests, simply due to the fact that nothing else seems worth doing in that situation. In other words, although one might need emotional states to first develop an accu...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Free agents, published by Michele Campolo on December 27, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. Posted also on the EA Forum. Shameless attempt at getting your attention: If you've heard of AI alignment before, this might change your perspective on it. If you come from the field of machine ethics or philosophy, this is about how to create an independent moral agent. Introduction The problem of creating an AI that understands human values is often split into two parts: first, expressing human values in a machine-digestible format, or making the AI infer them from human data and behaviour; and second, ensuring the AI correctly interprets and follows these values. In this post I propose a different approach, closer to how human beings form their moral beliefs. I present a design of an agent that resembles an independent thinker instead of an obedient servant, and argue that this approach is a viable, possibly better, alternative to the aforementioned split. I've structured the post in a main body, asserting the key points while trying to remain concise, and an appendix, which first expands sections of the main body and then discusses some related work. Although it ended up in the appendix, I think the extended Motivation section is well worth reading if you find the main body interesting. Without further ado, some more ado first. A brief note on style and target audience This post contains a tiny amount of mathematical formalism, which should improve readability for maths-oriented people. Here, the purpose of the formalism is to reduce some of the ambiguities that normally arise with the use of natural language, not to prove fancy theorems. As a result, the post should be readable by pretty much anyone who has some background knowledge in AI, machine ethics, or AI alignment - from software engineers to philosophers and AI enthusiasts (or doomers). If you are not a maths person, you won't lose much by skipping the maths here and there: I tried to write sentences in such a way that they keep their structure and remain sensible even if all the mathematical symbols are removed from the document. However, this doesn't mean that the content is easy to digest; at some points you might have to stay focused and keep in mind various things at the same time in order to follow. Motivation The main purpose of this research is to enable the engineering of an agent which understands good and bad and whose actions are guided by its understanding of good and bad. I've already given some reasons elsewhere why I think this research goal is worth pursuing. The appendix, under Motivation, contains more information on this topic and on moral agents. Here I point out that agents which just optimise a metric given by the designer (be it reward, loss, or a utility function) are not fit to the research goal. First, any agent that limits itself to executing instructions given by someone else can hardly be said to have an understanding of good and bad. Second, even if the given instructions were in the form of rules that the designer recognised as moral - such as "Do not harm any human" - and the agent was able to follow them perfectly, then the agent's behaviour would still be grounded in the designer's understanding of good and bad, rather than in the agent's own understanding. This observation leads to an agent design different from the usual fixed-metric optimisation found in the AI literature (loss minimisation in neural networks is a typical example). I present the design in the next section. Note that I give neither executable code nor a fully specified blueprint; instead, I just describe the key properties of a possibly broad class of agents. Nonetheless, this post should contain enough information that AI engineers and research scientists reading it could gather at least some ideas on how to cre...

Heartbeat on Oneplace.com

Have you ever said or done something that you regret?  Maybe in the heat of the moment, you've lashed out at a co-worker because of something relatively insignificant.  The feelings of guilt that are generated by regret don't feel good. We long for ways to take back what was said or done. Author Tony Campolo once said that “the past has a way of draining energy from the present.”  What's been done in the past, while regrettable, needs to be forgiven and forgotten. Ask for forgiveness then, move ahead in life. Put the past behind you. Campolo continued to say that “the One who is the ground of all being forgives and forgets.”  Let your regrets go and find freedom in God.
