Podcasts about Tower of Babel

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Kelvin Lwin for their second conversation exploring the fascinating intersection of AI and Buddhist cosmology. Lwin brings his unique perspective as both a technologist with deep Silicon Valley experience and a serious meditation practitioner who's spent decades studying Buddhist philosophy. Together, they examine how AI development fits into ancient spiritual prophecies, discuss the dangerous allure of LLMs as potentially "asura weapons" that can mislead users, and explore verification methods for enlightenment claims in our modern digital age. The conversation ranges from technical discussions about the need for better AI compilers and world models to profound questions about humanity's role in what Lwin sees as an inevitable technological crucible that will determine our collective spiritual evolution.

The Rarity of Polymath AI-Spirituality Perspectives: Kelvin argues that very few people are approaching AI through spiritual frameworks because it requires being a polymath with deep knowledge across multiple domains. Most people specialize in one field, and combining AI expertise with Buddhist cosmology requires significant time, resources, and academic background that few possess.2. Traditional Enlightenment Verification vs. Modern Claims: There are established methods for verifying enlightenment claims in Buddhist traditions, including adherence to the five precepts and overcoming hell rebirth through karmic resolution. Many modern Western practitioners claiming enlightenment fail these traditional tests, often changing the criteria when they can't meet the original requirements.3. The 500-Year Buddhist Prophecy and Current Timing: We are approximately 60 years into a prophesied 500-year period where enlightenment becomes possible again. This "startup phase of Buddhism revival" coincides with technological developments like the internet and AI, which are seen as integral to this spiritual renaissance rather than obstacles to it.4. LLMs as UI Solution, Not Reasoning Engine: While LLMs have solved the user interface problem of capturing human intent, they fundamentally cannot reason or make decisions due to their token-based architecture. The technology works well enough to create illusion of capability, leading people down an asymptotic path away from true solutions.5. The Need for New Programming Paradigms: Current AI development caters too much to human cognitive limitations through familiar programming structures. True advancement requires moving beyond human-readable code toward agent-generated languages that prioritize efficiency over human comprehension, similar to how compilers already translate high-level code.6. AI as Asura Weapon in Spiritual Warfare: From Buddhist cosmological perspective, AI represents an asura (demon-realm) tool that appears helpful but is fundamentally wasteful and disruptive to human consciousness. Humanity exists as the battleground between divine and demonic forces, with AI serving as a weapon that both sides employ in this cosmic conflict.7. 2029 as Critical Convergence Point: Multiple technological and spiritual trends point toward 2029 as when various systems will reach breaking points, forcing humanity to either transcend current limitations or be consumed by them. This timing aligns with both technological development curves and spiritual prophecies about transformation periods.

In this message, we explore the story of Babel and what happens when human ambition takes center stage. Rather than abandoning His people, God interrupts their plans to redirect them toward His greater mission.

What does God do when we say "no" to him and his purposes? Can we, by our own rebellion and rejection of God, change or disrupt his plans in the world? In this second message in the Missio Dei series, we explore Genesis 11 and how our pride will not stop God's purposes.

John and Christian discuss how "loaded language" within cults and charismatic movements creates communication barriers, spiritual elitism, and moral confusion. They explore how words like faith, doubt, spirit-filled, and Jezebel spirit carry entire doctrines that alienate others and discourage honest inquiry. Drawing from their experiences leaving high-control religious groups, they show how language can shape identity and restrict thought—turning simple words into tools of control.Together they examine how even well-meaning Christians can drift into self-righteous rhetoric and "church-speak" that isolates them from both outsiders and fellow believers. The conversation connects biblical examples, psychology of cult speech, and cultural references like Harry Potter to show how prideful communication dehumanizes others and undermines the gospel's inclusivity.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

In this sermon, we will see the consequence of sinful unity, the portrait of sinful unity and the redemption of sinful unity.

The post Tower of Babel appeared first on New City Church.

We begin today's show with a roundup of news on Senate negotiations over the government shutdown, as well as the news of Trump deploying troops to Israel to promote aid for Islamic nutcases. Next, we're joined by Brian Jacobson, an expert in training with AI LLMs, for a long discussion about the unsustainable pursuit of “artificial general intelligence.”   He explains how cloud-based AI chatbots are barely bringing in revenue and relying on Enron-style accounting to push a massive bubble without creating external revenue. He also debunks the talking points about data centers being the key to rivalling China and the notion that we are on the cusp of deploying new nuclear technology that can power this bubble. Finally, we discuss the difference between narrow-tailored AI, which is beneficial, profitable, and a useful pursuit, vs. artificial general intelligence, which relies on data centers and other painful “investments.” Brian also explains how we are nowhere near achieving AGI because God's human brain invention is a lot more complicated than we even realize.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textThe unfolding drama of human history follows a revealing pattern - one where humanity repeatedly rebels against God despite His patience and provision. In this episode of Chronicles of the End Times, we delve into the fascinating post-flood dispensation, examining how quickly mankind returned to rebellion after witnessing the most catastrophic divine judgment in history.From the Tower of Babel to God's scattering of nations, we trace how human government formed and failed when separated from divine guidance. The parallels to our modern technological "Babel" are striking - as global connectivity through the internet and AI creates new challenges that mirror ancient patterns. How should believers navigate a world where, as Daniel prophesied, "truth is thrown to the ground"?We explore why discerning truth matters more now than ever before. In an age of deepfakes, manipulated media, and competing narratives, how can we know what's real? The answer lies in returning to Scripture with renewed dedication. Not casual reading, but genuine study that anchors us amid deception. As Jesus declared Himself the embodiment of truth, we find our bearings by aligning with His word.The episode bridges from Noah to Abraham, revealing how God's plan advanced through each dispensation despite human failure. We witness the critical transition where God "divorced" the nations as they descended into idolatry, setting the stage for His redemptive work through the patriarchal line. This historical understanding illuminates our current moment and prepares us for what's ahead in God's unfolding timeline.Have you considered how these ancient patterns might be repeating in our technological age? Share this episode with someone struggling to find solid ground in these confusing times, and join us next week as we explore God's covenant with Abraham and the beginning of His redemptive plan through Israel.Support the show

Well, we thought about AI again. This time Andy joined us. Jake, as promised, went Marx Grudge. He read from Marx's "Fragment of Machines," and listed the many lawsuits currently levied against "AI vendors." That said, he also couldn't help thinking about the future of porn. Sagi spoke about the metaphysical utilitarian progress underpinning AI, certain that the only real thing AI can do is solve the stupid analytic philosophy trolley problem. Oh, that and get a high score on an IQ test. Andy introduced the Tower of Babel and helped us think about how concrete thinking is overtaking the younger generation. AI, entirely focused on space, and against time, leaves no room for ethics, for thought, for enjoying petites madeleines. Listen past the end, for a Proustian surprise.

For only the second time in mankind's history we can speak the same language. The first is found in Genesis where Noah's descendants spoke the same language and attempted to build a tower to heaven. To be like God. The second is now through binary code. Email:  swdyouthink@gmail.com

Old Testament Stories Tower of Babel - Genesis 11:1-9 Christ Church Kingwood September 7, 2025 Preacher: Patrick Wimberly

Was the Tower of Babel really about God magically inventing new languages? Or could it have been something far more physical, natural, and scientific?In this fascinating episode, guest Jerry Grover joins host Cardon Ellis to propose a groundbreaking reinterpretation of the biblical Babel account. Drawing from the Book of Ether, floodplain studies, and modern science, Grover suggests that mosquito-borne encephalitis—not an instant linguistic miracle—may have caused the “confounding of languages.”

Is our confused state the product of a deep disconnect between people? What role is the words we use and how we think of the world driving confusion and division in the church and in broader society?

The Tower of Babel was built after Noah's Great Flood. Yahweh had told Noah and his sons to go out and multiply on the Earth and they did have children and multiply, but they disobeyed when it came to dispersing. They stayed in one area and shared one language and they decided to build themselves a city with a great tower to the heavens. What exactly was this tower and why did Yahweh decide to spread many languages and confuse their efforts? What were these men creating? Clearly, this stone tower didn't rise to the heights of our modern-day skyscrapers. And who exactly was Nimrod who seems to have led these efforts? Did the men of Babel create a portal for the gods to come through? Main theme: Crazy For Thrills by Muse Music with Groove Studios

God has to once again deal with the sin of humanity at the Tower of Babel before Scripture turns its attention to one nation through which God would provide salvation for the world.

On today's ID the Future out of the vault, host Andrew McDiarmid rings up author and philosopher David Berlinski in Paris to discuss his book Science After Babel. Berlinski is at his cultivated best as the two discuss everything from the biblical Tower of Babel as a metaphor for modern materialistic science, to his friendship with the brilliant and colorful French intellectual Marcel Schützenberger, a world-class mathematician who was self-taught and, as we learn here, came within a hair's breadth of being swept up in the Chinese Revolution. Berlinski also reflects on the seminal 1966 WISTAR symposium, which laid out some mathematical challenges to Darwinism, challenges that Berlinski says remain unanswered to this day. At the same time, Berlinski gives Read More › Source

This episode of Fed by the Fruit KB dives into the profound biblical narrative of the Seven Dispensations and the Tower of Babel, illustrating the consequences of human pride and disobedience toward God's directives.We explore the concept of dispensationalism, a framework that categorizes God's interactions with humanity into distinct periods, and how this lens aids in comprehending scriptural teachings. It highlights the significance of humility and the dangers of seeking unity apart from divine guidance, as exemplified by the builders of Babel who attempted to reach the heavens through their own efforts.Each of these periods reveals profound insights into human nature and God's enduring desire for relationship and obedience, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of biblical narratives and their implications for contemporary faith.This episode serves as both an informative guide to embrace a healthier, more balanced lifestyle, encouraging listeners to embark on their journeys with renewed vigor and compassion.Reach out to KB on Instagram and share your thoughts.

Recently, a term emerged in conversation that stopped me in my tracks: polyglot mysticism. After looking it up, I discovered it refers to individuals who engage with various spiritual traditions and texts in their original languages, allowing for a deeper understanding of nuances and philosophies that might be lost in translation.1

We continue our "Sunday School: A Fresh Look at Familiar Stories" series with a look at the well-known story of the Tower of Babel. Together, we explore how this ancient account speaks directly to our modern world, and what it means to follow Jesus in a culture where appearances of unity often mask deeper divisions. Join us as we seek wisdom, clarity, and purpose through God's Word. Scripture Referenced: Genesis 11:1-9

This summer, we're taking a short break from our regular podcast format, and instead have selected various installments from past message series given by James Emery White at Mecklenburg Community Church where he serves as the Senior Pastor. "The Tower of Babel" was the sixth installment of a series titled, "Primordial: Genesis and the World's Primeval History." Primordial is defined as that which has existed since the beginning of time. The first book of the Bible - Genesis - begins with the words “In the beginning..." So what do we really know about the beginning of time and those earliest chapters of human history? How do we grapple with all that it holds in light of fact vs. fiction, or science vs. religion? Today's episode will walk through what really happened when the tower of Babel was constructed, and the cultural implications for our day. Episode Links Below you'll find the link to the full series if that's something you are interested in checking out, along with the sources that were used in the development of the message itself: "Primordial: Genesis and the World's Primeval History" John Walton, “Beware Our Tower of Babel,” Christianity Today, read online.
