The Boomer Effect

The Boomer Effect with Jerry and Rose

“The Boomer Effect” takes a look at generations that came before and after us in an effort to understand our differences and establish common ground. All durable and long-lasting civilizations have one thing in common; they respect the wisdom of their elders and do not mock it. Yes Boomers made mistakes- but we got a lot right as well. Part of getting it right is extending what we've learned to Generation Z, and Millennials. The great depression gave us a post World War II generation of adults determined to give their children everything that they didn't have. Maybe that was a mistake...

    Don’t Give Up: Morality, AI, and the Fight to Stay Human

    Artificial intelligence is transforming the world at a pace fewpeople fully understand. But while much of the public debate focuses on innovation and efficiency, a deeper question is emerging: Who is guiding the moral direction of this technology? In this episode, award-winning educator, filmmaker, and author Kay Rubacek joins the conversation to explore why morality may be the most important thread holding our future together. Prompted by the resignation of AI safety researcher Mrinank Sharma from the AI company Anthropic, Kay discusses growing concerns about what is happening behind closed doors in artificial intelligence development. As AI becomes more integrated into everyday life—from automated content creation to workplace surveillance—the risk may not simply be misuse, but something more subtle: societal apathy toward systems that operate without a human moralcompass. Kay also reflects on history, the wisdom of the Founding Fathers, and the cultural shifts already underway as people begin to reconsider their relationship with technology. The question isn’t just what AI can do.It’s whether humanity will hold on to the moral thread that has guided civilization for generations.https://kayrubacek.substack.com https://www.instagram.com/kayrubacek/ Please Support this Podcast: www.omegaplanners.net www.jlsmithassociates.com https://patriotmobile.com/partners/rose www.americansforprosperity.org www.theboomereffect.com https://wordmarketingservices.com/ Rose’s Ministry: www.sheiscalledbyhim.com

    Morality, AI, and the Fight to Stay Human

    Today’s guest is Kay Rubacek —an award-winning educator, filmmaker, author, and mother whose life and work have consistently centered on the importance of truth, courage, and human dignity. Kay’s perspective on freedom and morality isn’t theoretical. In2001, she was detained in a Chinese prison for her human-rights advocacy, an experience that deeply shaped her understanding of what happens when power is allowed to operate without moral boundaries. Today she’s sounding the alarm on a very different kind of power — artificial intelligence — and the growing concern that technological capability may be advancing faster than our moral compass. Recent events, including the resignation of AI safety researcher Mrinank Sharma from Anthropic, have sparked an urgent conversation about whether the most important decisions about AI are happening behind closed doors — and what it means for society if we lose what Kay calls “the thread of morality.” Kay joins us today to talk about why morality matters now more than ever, the cultural shift happening around AI, and how we can ensure that humanity — not technology — remains at the center of our future. https://kayrubacek.substack.com https://www.instagram.com/kayrubacek/ Please Support this Podcast: www.omegaplanners.net www.jlsmithassociates.com https://patriotmobile.com/partners/rose www.americansforprosperity.org www.theboomereffect.com https://wordmarketingservices.com/ Rose’s Ministry: www.sheiscalledbyhim.com
