Today the acting vice president, the loser of the presidential election, certified the vote for the winner and our new president. No riot. No violence. No death. Just like every other presidential election except one.

This is a wonderful discussion among a panel of Christians and skeptics. It’s one of the more thought provoking discussions I’ve seen on the existence and nature of God.

“You know that those who are rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them…But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, & whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. Even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve & to give his life as a ransom for many.”Mark10:42-45

This is a great video from Veritasium on perception of mathematical data and rationalized bias. It highlights the importance of information presentation, and the irrationality of politics.

SinceI've always been a fan of Simon Sinek and his talks and views on leadership. Two weeks ago, he did a wonderful interview with Joe Biden for his “A Bit of Optimism” podcast. Even if you don't like Joe Biden or never heard of Simon Sinek, this is worth a watch.

So, this weekend I decided to set up an AI chatbot server using an open-source AI called Ollama. It’s similar to ChatGPT, but I own the server and have full control over the software and information I give it. Why? Because it’s cool.
