What happens when one of the greatest living Catholic philosophers takes on the rise of artificial intelligence? In this lively and deeply insightful episode, Dr. Greg Bottaro sits down with Dr. Peter Kreeft to explore what makes us truly human in an age of technology, why analogies and wonder matter more than ever, and how faith, philosophy, and psychology together can help us navigate a world increasingly dominated by machines.

Key Topics:

Dr. Peter Kreeft's famous aversion to technology—and why he's learned to (mostly) make peace with it
The surprising connection between artificial intelligence and the decline of analogical thinking
Why quantity can never replace quality in art, beauty, or human experience
How modern culture's obsession with image and efficiency is eroding our humanity
The collapse of humanities education—and why it matters for the future of civilization
