Nice! I find we can usefully replace ‘astrologers’ with ‘AI’ in these sentences for a meaningful corollary: “If astrologers seek to minimize human agency, Torah scholars must find opportunities to innovate. Astrologers typically only see the present through the lens of the past. But every model is right until it isn’t. Astrologers have no way to contend with outliers—those events are outside their capacity for pattern recognition.” Torah study becomes a bastion of humanity after the advent of AGI.
