With valued work we can see where we are going and sense who we are. Our work becomes our pilgrimage, and we can measure our progress positively towards an end.
Without work, there is the absence of sense, we can only see through faith, which is valuable, but most people are not called to this way of life, as it requires a special vocation and we are embodied souls.
WIth AI, this lack of sense may become the main cross people face, they can no longer root their identity in their work, and instead must themselves find novel ways to inform their faith through sense.
Maybe this will usher in a return of art. Like basket weaving, a task which seemingly is simple yet carries such spiritual significance and embodiment. I think this is a big reason people now go on pilgrimages or run marathons, to reunite their senses with their identity, to fuel their faith.
From the Vatican Article on AI
“Human intelligence is not an isolated faculty but is exercised in relationships, finding its fullest expression in dialogue, collaboration, and solidarity.”
I’m so glad this resonated with you Louis. There really is dignity in work - all kinds. Even if it doesn’t feel that because it’s boring, tedious, or unglamorous. Doing the work sanctifies you in the eyes of God.
This is excellent
