Ep. 32 - Disturbing Algorithms, Witness, Akataschetos

Tune in to hear Pastor Wilson talk about disturbing algorithms. Then he plugs Witness, and wraps things up with a talk about the Greek word “Akataschetos”. Happy Plodding! 

Show Notes:

Disturbing Algorithms

• they have developed the technology that puts the faces of celebrities onto pornagraphic images in a full time realistic way
• this is the world we are living in
• we ought to get to the point where we no longer admit digital evidence into the court of law
• we now have the capacity where we could generate footage of someone robbing a bank
• evidence can be manufactured
• people who are not technologically sophisticated are at the mercy of people who are
• we need to go back to the standard of having two or three witnesses
• we are getting to the point where digital evidence can be easily abused

Witness

• written by Whitaker Chambers
• he was a communist spy and worked together with Alger Hiss
• Chambers was converted
• he wound up making the accusation against Alger Hiss
• this book is Chamber’s account of his life and conversion
• liberals wanted to maintain that Hiss was framed, but he actually was a spy

Akataschetos

• when something is unruly it is untamed, uncowed, undisciplined
• the NT uses this word for the tongue, which no one can tame
• an unruly evil, full of deadly poison
• we must keep our guard up, we have a cobra in our mouth
• if a man can tame the tongue he can tame anything
