Drs. Steven Mason and Josh Brake, professor of engineering at Harvey Mudd College and LeTourneau alum, discuss ideas of technology, education, and human flourishing, the value of struggle, the automation or augmentation of A.I., and finding the good life in our digitally-saturated society. Dr. Brake authors The Absent-Minded Professor, a weekly Substack outlet for manifestos on technology, education, and community through a Christian lens.
