2【聊了什么】
当下的硅谷正流行着一种“技术拯救主义”，试图通过AI实现意识上传、星际殖民，甚至彻底消灭死亡。在教宗良十四看来，这不过是披着科技外衣的古老诱惑。本期节目围绕最新通谕，展开了一场关于人论的思辨。我们探讨为什么“有限性”并非人性的缺陷、反而是成圣的阶梯，抨击了将人指标化、工具化的“被动式人文主义”。当AI开始模拟情感与直觉，人的边界在哪里？硅谷盛行的TESCREAL意识形态，为何被视为现代版的“巴别塔”？面对AI带来的功能性取代，宗教人本主义如何通过本体论捍卫人类尊严？
A kind of "techno-salvationism" is in vogue in Silicon Valley right now — the attempt to use AI to achieve mind uploading, interstellar colonization, even the total abolition of death. In the eyes of Pope Leo XIV, this is nothing but an ancient temptation dressed in technological clothing. This episode takes the latest encyclical as its starting point for a philosophical inquiry into the nature of the human person. We explore why "finitude" is not a defect in human nature but rather a ladder toward sanctification, and we take aim at the "passive humanism" that reduces people to metrics and instruments. As AI begins to simulate emotion and intuition, where does the boundary of the human lie? Why is the TESCREAL ideology so prevalent in Silicon Valley seen as a modern Tower of Babel? In the face of the functional replacement AI brings, how does religious humanism defend human dignity by way of ontology?

【我们是谁 The Who】
选修课 Universus 是一档分享和探讨泛文化话题的中文播客，脱胎于2013年创办的纽约文化沙龙。我们力求引发对学科方法和视角的认知和思考，而不仅仅是知识的传递。我们在组织活动的过程中积累了一些经验和人脉，尝试打造成年人的博雅教育，并在播客中拓展这样的探索。我们希望审视和反抗无意识的价值规训与随波逐流。我们希望冷酷地剖析自己的偏见，热忱地拥抱多元视角。我们希望去工具化，真诚地感知、理解、创造自己的生活和复杂的世界。我们追随原初的好奇而非代餐式的猎奇。话题可以轻松，方法力求严肃。在《选修课》里，我们互相映照，唤醒失落的维度。
主播：
- 老赵：理论物理学博士，软件工程师，纽约文化沙龙组织者。
嘉宾：
- 黄潇潇：哥伦比亚大学东亚语言与文化硕士，美国天主教大学福传与文化硕士在读
选修课 Universus is a Chinese-language podcast created by the same people who founded the New York Chinese Cultural Salon (纽约文化沙龙）in 2013.The past decade of organizing events and talks put us in a position of creating a sort of liberal arts education experience for those who have left school. We strive to go beyond merely transmitting knowledge to reflecting on complex topics using cross-disciplinary perspectives. We strive to resist conformity, to dissect our own biases, and to embrace diverse schools of thought. Our goal is to help professionals resist becoming just a tool of production, and to understand the world around us in earnest. We let our genuine curiosity be our guide. With a light-hearted tone, we approach each topic seriously. We hope that “选修课 Universus” creates a space to explore lost dimensions.
Hosted by:
- Lao Zhao: PhD in Theoretical Physics, software engineer, and organizer of the New York Cultural Salon.
Guest:
- Xiaoxiao Huang: MA in East Asian Languages and Cultures, Columbia University; MA candidate in Evangelization and Culture, The Catholic University of America
