Wise Disciple with Nate Sala

Joe Rogan: Will AI Bring Back Jesus... Or Something Much Worse?

Dec 15, 2025
The discussion kicks off with a provocative question about AI potentially signaling the return of something ancient. The host explores the idea of lost civilizations and past cataclysms shaping modern beliefs. They dive into whether AI could serve as a messianic figure or even resemble an antichrist. Drawing parallels with the Tower of Babel, they highlight humanity's recurring quest for autonomy and the spiritual risks of rapidly integrating AI into life. The closing questions challenge listeners on whether AI fosters true human flourishing or leads to a repeat of Babel's rebellion.
