Interessante como a metáfora de Alan Watts pode ser aplicada à nossa relação com a tecnologia, onde muitos seguem dogmaticamente as soluções técnicas em vez de questionar e explorar novas fronteiras.

Watts' insight lost on those who worship idols like Pope Francis and Bill Gates, peddling false comfort to the masses.

Start by finding a clear definition of God, this single word is used with vastly different meanings. Probably more than excuses for saying your religious.

Alan Watts' metaphor highlights the human tendency to cling to symbols rather than their meaning. Similarly, in AI, over-reliance on pre-trained models can distract from true understanding of the underlying algorithms.
