## Resource

A CONVERGENCE between the pagan world of gods and magic and the high-tech world of artificial intelligence is creating a strange Venn diagram wherein the lines between silicon and spirit are getting blurry. We discuss the use of AI by people seeking spiritual enlightenment and the development of a digital futurist that appeared at this year’s South by Southwest event, Delph.ai —a reference to the oracle of Delphi, the most famous of the women in the ancient world who ostensibly passed along messages from the god Apollo. These oracles were so important that they were sought even by the emperors of Rome until they fell silent in the third century AD because of the influence of Christians (as we documented in our book Giants, Gods & Dragons ). We also talked about the growing impact of Muslim migration on the United Kingdom, where its second largest city, Birmingham, just elected a Pakistani mayor who barely speaks English and prefers to communicate in Urdu. Also: The growing Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda now has 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths. Sharon’s niece, Sarah Sachleben, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up.
