This chapter delves into the speeches in the Book of Job, focusing on God's justice and the concept of personal transformation. It explores the idea that suffering can have a purpose and that God's justice surpasses human comprehension. The discussion also highlights the absence of a free will defense and the enigmatic character of Elihu.
David and Tamler dive back into the Bible, this time to the perplexing and poetic Book of Job. What does this book have to say about the theodicy, the problem of evil? Why does Job (and his children) have to suffer so much just so God can prove a point to Satan? Are the speeches of Job's friends meant to be convincing? Does Job capitulate in the end? Does God contradict himself in the last chapter? What’s the deal with Elihu? So many questions, not as many answers – maybe that's why it's such a classic.
Plus, "transhumanism" – dystopian wet dream or perfect moral system of the future based on logic, reason, and code? (Always code).
