Summary

Tune in to hear Pastor Wilson talk about disturbing algorithms. Then he plugs Witness, and wraps things up with a talk about the Greek word “Akataschetos”. Happy Plodding! Show Notes: Disturbing Algorithms they have developed the technology that puts the faces of celebrities onto pornagraphic images in a full time realistic way this is the world we are living in we ought to get to the point where we no longer admit digital evidence into the court of law we now have the capacity where we could generate footage of someone robbing a bank evidence can be manufactured people who are not technologically sophisticated are at the mercy of people who are we need to go back to the standard of having two or three witnesses we are getting to the point where digital evidence can be easily abused Witness written by Whitaker Chambers he was a communist spy and worked together with Alger Hiss Chambers was converted he wound up making the accusation against Alger Hiss this book is Chamber’s account of his life and conversion liberals wanted to maintain that Hiss was framed, but he actually was a spy Akataschetos when something is unruly it is untamed, uncowed, undisciplined the NT uses this word for the tongue, which no one can tame an unruly evil, full of deadly poison we must keep our guard up, we have a cobra in our mouth if a man can tame the tongue he can tame anything

0:00.0	Yes, God, God don't never change.
0:19.2	Welcome to Plodcast, episode 32.
0:22.3	Great to have you with me. thanks for coming along so I want to
0:26.7	title this first segment well this could just call it disturbing algorithms.
0:32.7	And then I'd like to explain the news story that got me,
