Who is Br. Christos Jonathan Seth Hayward (thou / thee / thy / thine)? A man, made in the image of God and summoned to ascend to the heights of the likeness of God. A great sinner, and in fact, the chief of sinners. One who is, moment by moment, in each ascetical decision choosing to become one notch more a creature of Heaven, or one notch more a creature of Hell, until his life is spent and his eternal choice between Heaven and Hell is eternally sealed.Man, mediator, midpoint, microcosm, measure: as man he is the recapitulation of the entire spiritual and visible creation, having physical life in common with plants and animals, and noetic life in common with rank upon rank of angel host, and forever in the shadow of that moment when Heaven kissed earth and God and the Son of God became Man and the Son of Man that men and the sons of men might become gods and the sons of God.He's also a writer with a few hobbies, but really, there are more important things in life.
"The Black Mirror: An Eastern Orthodox Look at the Dark Side of Technology and Its Best Use: Volume 6: Dissertations was originally published as Hidden Price Tags: An Eastern Orthodox Look at the Dark Side of Technology and Its Best Use: Volume 6: Dissertations Hidden Price Tags V. 6: Dissertations C.J.S. Hayward C.J.S. Hayward Publications Dissertations adds to the eight-volume opus that is C.J.S. Hayward's masterpiece on Eastern Orthodoxy and technology, expanding the subject of technological allure and danger by discussing AI and dark patterns as they relate to Scriptural texts. This discourse builds on his prior thesis subjects, which offered readers ""...a theological critique that used theology to see things that are not seen in mainstream artificial intelligence research and for that matter are not seen in mainstream academic critiques of artificial intelligence."" Readers might not anticipate the scholarly depths of an Orthodoxy approach to science, but it resides here, from theorems and hypotheses on boundaries and space to arguments and justifications that reveal Scriptural perceptions and analysis in a different light. More so than many of his prior writings, Dissertations represents the scholarly, analytical brain of Hayward, who provides logic, arguments, and insights fit for a master's thesis. Two of the three were master's dissertations, and the other was regarded by his advisor as 'M.Phil. work done to M.Phil. standards'. These dissertations were written for UIUC (for the math dissertation) and Cambridge (for the theology dissertation). This volume also comes packed with footnoted references and quotes from other authorities and analysts. From functionality arguments to optimality assumptions, Hayward provides readers with complex, enlightening insights into spiritual thinking that stem from three masters' thesis writings, cementing many of his prior books and insights with a heavier dose of analytical observation. The result ideally will be read in conjunction with his past 'Hidden Price Tags' series titles and his introductory The Luddite's Guide to Technology (which synthesizes the contentions expanded upon in the Hidden Price Tags works). Libraries seeking scholarly contributions to subjects of faith, modern culture, and science's influences will find Dissertations a powerful piece; especially when read in conjunction with its other series siblings."
