by The Veritas Forum
At the Veritas Forum, we believe we were made to seek truth and be changed by it. We are a community of students, faculty, campus ministers, and more, who are pursuing a vision of the university that seeks and stewards truth and invites people of all backgrounds to explore the ideas that shape our lives. Since 1992, we’ve shared lectures and conversations with a firm belief that generous dialogue is essential for universities and the Christian faith alike. In this podcast, we're pulling from our archives of recorded events. Learn more about each episode in the show notes and visit veritas.org to learn more about the mission of the Veritas Forum and join us as we explore the ideas that shape our lives.

<p>Advances in artificial intelligence and computing technology are happening at breakneck speed. Yet even the best A. I. today still falls short. Whether it's a frustratingly unhelpful chatbot, the uncanny valley of immersive virtual reality, or the nonsensical answers of ChatGPT.</p> <p>Are these glitches a short-term problem? Or is there something about human experiences that make them impossible to program?</p> <p>In today’s episode, a computer scientist and an experimental philosopher discuss just that. In this Forum event from 2013, you’ll hear from Rosalind Picard (MIT) and Joshua Knobe (Yale). In a conversation moderated by neuroscientist Nii Addy (Yale), Roz and Joshua attempt to define what it means to be human, discuss how agency and experience shape our view of others, and how we ought to fight against dehumanization.</p> <p>Thank you to the forum planning team at Yale for making this event possible.</p> <ul> <li>Find additional resources and quotes on the podcast episode page <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.veritas.org/podcast/what-technology-can-and-cant-do-rosalind-picard-joshua-knobe">here</a>.</li> </ul>

<p>The speakers in today’s forum engage with two main questions: What stories are you telling yourself? And how can you learn to tell better ones?</p> <p>You’ll hear today from practicing psychiatrist Curt Thompson and Health Behavior and Health Education professor Victor Strecher (UMichigan). Curt and Vic discuss what it looks like to tell better stories, the role community plays in storytelling, and what difference the Christian story can make in our lives.</p> <p>This forum was held at the University of Michigan in January of 2024 and was moderated by graduate student Annika From. Thank you to the Forum planning team at the University of Michigan for making this event possible.</p> <ul> <li>Find additional resources and quotes on the podcast episode page <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.veritas.org/podcast/more-than-just-okay-religion-purpose-human-flourishing-thompson-strecher">here</a>.</li> </ul>

<p>For many of the key issues today, it’s challenging to simply <em>agree to disagree</em>. Not only do we have serious differences in opinion and belief, but how we choose to act in light of them can have profound consequences.</p> <p>How, then, should we live together? Is compromise a necessary component of community?</p> <p>In a forum originally titled “Can Truth and Tolerance Coexist,” theologian Mirsolav Volf (Yale) and Dean of Students Vijay Pendakur (Cornell) delve into the complexities of a diverse, democratic society. Volf and Pendakur discuss how we can go beyond simply agreeing to disagree, what the role of physical and emotional safety is on college campuses, and what speaking the truth <em>in love</em> really means.</p> <p>Their conversation was held at Cornell University in 2019. Thank you to the Forum planning team at Cornell university for making this event possible.</p> <ul> <li>Watch the full Forum event <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP8Mn8Le6F4">here</a>.</li> <li>Sign up for our newsletter <a href="https://www.veritas.org/newsletter-pd">here</a>.</li> <li>Visit <a href="https://www.veritas.org/">veritas.org</a> to learn more about the mission of the Veritas Forum and find more resources to explore the ideas that shape our lives</li> </ul>
