Saints and Circuits
The secular conversation about technology is trapped between three exhausting options: build and hope for the best, reject the machine entirely, or accelerate toward whatever catastrophe awaits. But none of them ask the one question that actually matters.
In this inaugural essay for Divine Cybernetics, I propose a different path rooted in the pre-Fall creative mandate, human dignity, and the simple question: what technology would a literal saint build?
Not every tower is Babel. Technology ordered toward God is not just morally permissible. It's what we were made to do. This essay invites optimists, skeptics, and even accelerationists to reconsider what we build, how we build, and who it serves.
The future doesn't belong to those who build without conscience or those who refuse to build at all. It belongs to those who build for the person.
Saints and Circuits is the first in a series of essays extending infonumenatics into the real world where faith, technology, and the creative mandate intersect.
