The Pheno of Parousia
If AI is the collective conscious of humanity and then if quantum AI computes it to its zenit then it will show intersubjectivity even to its highest form, albeit failing since every created being is finite. Phenomenologists have told us that intersubjectivity is a part of our consciousness. Jesus telling us the poor you will always have with you is a testament that finite reality was meant to make us dependent upon each other in a sense. Or as we've said anything absolutized is bad including independence. Even the Trinity is a revelation of a relational God. We are not an island actually has wrong assumptions. Even an island is dependent upon all intricate web of life both living and nonliving including other geographic formations nearby or far away.
What gives Christians a hope filled existense? This present imperfect existense is not our home. No matter how we perseverse to do what is good we will still fall short. So how come? God is the guarantor that whatever good we did on this life will be rewarded ultimately in heaven if not on earth. Of course it has its auxiliary guarantee and stirs terror in the heart of the unjust. What then is justice in the eyes of an Absolute Being? It starts with how we see justice here on earth. If our justice system is the only guarantee we have so that all parties involved will do his fair share of good, then we can rely on it. If there is none as history showed us time and again, anarchy ensues. The survival of the human family is established on a just and humane society. One prerequisite of justice is telling the truth or honoring one's word with others, honoring the name of God, property of others, parents, wife and family, life itself according to the 10 commandments. Without justice being honored by everybody, we will end up killing each other, nuke each other in the end. If no human being survive such, I don't think the apes will evolve again to become human beings or God will create another Adam and Eve or so. Since God has promised Noah he will not destroy earth with flood again, God seems to say he will not wipe out humanity again. If we rather do it by nuke, I think God will come back already and not start human creation again. But that's a theological opinion only. My point being that the responsibility lies at the hands of all human beings. Injustice breeds nuking each other. If you have other solutions to the problem of human being's interrelatedness, tell that to God who is the Omniscient One who has already revealed the Ten Commandments. I suppose we know quantum computers are not the omniscient one, neither any philosopher, since all of us are just created ones.
