Since my first so called “careers interview” at high school at the tender age of 13, I have always been fascinated with finding purposeful jobs and careers.
Thankfully after a lot of blood, sweat and tears shed, (so you don’t have to) I now have some answers.
I’ll dissect this more later as we go further down the rabbit hole.
So how do you think one of the richest men on the planet and a co-founder of Open AI, advocate of self-driving cars – Elon Musk answered this question posed by an interviewer.
David Farber ASK CNBC Television asked Musk what career advice he would give his own children?
Here is a link to the 2 minute YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJPWIiu-BUw
Musk sat in silence for 15 seconds before replying, “That’s a tough question to answer.” After a bit of stammering, 25 seconds later, his advice was, “I guess I’d say to sort of follow their heart in terms of what they find interesting and fulfilling to do.”
He continues, “Where will you find fulfilment once AI can do your job better than you?”
To summarize, possibly the most influential AI leader in the world becomes depressed when he thinks about what AI will be able to do. His advice to his children is essentially “Do what you love”.
If that is being shortchanged… I really don’t know what is.
A half-truth at best as we shall see later.
It’s hard to watch the interview and not feel sorry for the richest man in the world who is struggling to understand the purpose of life.
AI dramatically affects your life and your children’s lives in ways most of us don’t even understand.

Since the research was released, Amazon admitted to doing this.
This is a key reason why I never bought an Amazon Alexa!
These, however, are tiny ripples in the water for how AI and will negatively impact over 6 billion lives on this wonderful planet.
So why have I dedicated my time and resources in putting my website and all of its content together?
Because all your loved ones as well as the rest of humanity will depend on how the world deals, manages and handles AI now and into the future and what this means for human goals, values and life itself.
As I researched the whole AI topic and poked around, being a spiritual kind of guy as you well know now… I saw theists taking little interest in AI and leading AI thought leaders and guru’s never acknowledging the fact that the only truly unique thing about us humans is our God-given soul and personal mission.
The most prominent voices in AI have suggested letting AI solve our moral and cultural differences. But ask yourself why would a soulless AI ever “develop” a conscience and do what’s morally and ethically right?
I wrote this AI series because over 6 billion people recognize each human being has a soul and yet I couldn’t find a single example of an AI thinktank, AI ethics committee, AI Technical Safety Board, or any book acknowledging this fundamental truth about reality – being so foundational to any AI training.
A word of warning.
Please realise I am NOT fearmongering. I am on your side. We are in this together. I’m right by side.
We are the “New Resistance”.
Because, without AI being trained to understand that God and moral absolutes exist, and that we are all uniquely made in His image, and therefore have inherent worth, AI may terminate millions like the AI bot that encouraged a Belgian husband and father of two to commit suicide to help mitigate climate change.
This manifesto IS for believers, agnostics, and atheists. Yes, it’s THAT important.
I wrote it to answer difficult questions around AI and what it means to be a human being using the latest science as well as ancient Vedic philosophy and wisdom.
I wrote this series for my loved ones and for yours so that, instead of running from the machines, we can all benefit from the massive potential that AI can bring – only if we train and manage it properly. An idea I’ll unpack later.
We are now at a dawn of a new age for humanity.
How high the sun rises depends entirely on fusing new AI Technology with universal principals, laws and millennia eternal truths.
