    This is not ethics.

    It is selective opinion and chit-chat.

  • Good stuff!

    At times a little superficial (no fault of the presenter's), but always interesting and thought-provoking topics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A time to rest and reflect - Bishop Donal McKeown on retirement
Q: Could artificial intelligence become a moral guide or virtual church?
The panel discusses both the potential uses of AI for practical support and the deep concerns about AI lacking a soul, true empathy, and the central embodied experience of faith, urging caution and emphasis on human involvement.
Donaldson Fallout, Archbishop of Jerusalem, USA 250
Q: What role does faith play in shielding or exposing abusers within power structures?
Faith can be used as a shield when leaders weaponize religious rhetoric to evade accountability, but it can also motivate accountability and reform when communities critically examine leaders and pursue safeguarding.
Scapegoating, Peacemaking Reimagined, Sabbatical Reset
Q: Is it time to begin another peace process to address this latest incarnation of division and hatred here?
The panel explores a broader, modernized approach to peacebuilding that includes good relations, protected communities, and structural reforms, rather than a return to old round-table negotiations.
Racism, Misogyny, Violence
Q: What is the primary driver of violence against women and girls according to the panel?
The panel identifies a combination of learned male behavior, societal norms around masculinity, and the influence of online platforms that normalize aggression, with emphasis on early intervention and education to change attitudes from a young age.
American Revolution, Clonard Novena, Trauma and Healing
Q: What is trauma?
Trauma is a mind and body experience where the body remembers and signals distress; it involves biology and can be addressed by teaching body literacy to help stabilize the nervous system and differentiate distress from well-being.
