Our 21st century lives make it increasingly difficult to live as humans. From social media to Zoom meetings to fitness trackers, we live our lives in digital spaces, and in doing so, lose our grip on what is most real. Trends like these are not waning, but rather accelerating, spurred by AI and other new technologies. Most of these technologies are not intrinsically problematic and some can be used for good. Yet as our lives become increasingly digitized, the most human aspects of our lives atrophy. For the Catholic, moreover, since the sacraments meet us in our humanity, the patterns of 21st-century life threaten to undermine a sacramental outlook.

In this Magi Project conversation, Professor Joseph Vukov (Loyola University Chicago) will discuss his diagnosis of our current situation, and issue a call to action to resist problematic trends in it.

Date: Thursday, October 30, 7:00 - 8:00 PM

Location: Hall of Flags, Houston Hall, University of Pennsylvania
