1. Short Talk – The Invitation
F: Dear friends, I would like to begin with a question inspired by our conversations about Mother Nature, spirituality, religion, and the future of artificial intelligence.
Could universal love become a common foundation for different religions and worldviews?
C: Perhaps the most promising starting point is not agreement about every theological statement, but agreement about how we treat one another.
The Golden Rule offers such a starting point:
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
G: And universal love may reach even further. It invites us to extend compassion beyond our own family, nation, religion, or species.
E: Children sometimes understand this intuitively. They are capable of wonder before they learn all the boundaries that adults construct.
Mutzi: Meow! Please don't forget the animals. Love shouldn't stop at the human doorstep!
F: Exactly! Our guiding wish is:
May all beings be happy!
But this short exchange is only an invitation. Let us continue in a longer workshop conversation.
