I Grok


On X (Twitter) there is a feature called "Grok." You can ask it questions about yourself and it will answer based on your recent tweets and responses.

I asked two questions:

Which Saint am I most like?
Which writer am I most like?

The responses:

Based on your posts, Lee, you might find a kinship with Saint Augustine of Hippo. Augustine was known for his profound personal transformation from a life of indulgence to one of deep Christian faith, reflection, and intellectual pursuit. His writings, particularly "Confessions," delve into the human struggle with sin, the search for truth, and the importance of prayer and inner conversion, which resonates with your emphasis on prayer, moral integrity, and challenging societal norms.

Like you, Augustine was not afraid to engage in discourse, critique falsehoods, and seek a deeper understanding of divine truths, often through his own personal experiences and reflections. His life and works reflect a journey from skepticism to faith, a theme that might parallel your posts about confronting ignorance, advocating for truth, and the personal practice of faith.

Based on the themes and tone of your recent posts on X, Lee, you seem to resonate most with C.S. Lewis. Lewis was known for his deep Christian faith, which heavily influenced his writing, similar to how your posts reflect a strong emphasis on faith, prayer, and moral considerations. His works often blend elements of fantasy with profound philosophical and theological questions, akin to your posts that challenge or reflect on contemporary issues through a spiritual lens. 

Lewis's ability to critique societal norms and explore the nature of good versus evil in his writings, like in "The Chronicles of Narnia" or "The Screwtape Letters," mirrors your engagement with topics that touch on morality, truth, and the human condition.

Wow. What responses. What an honor. I have always admired St. Augustine, and Lewis is one of my favorite writers. 

Good role models for my spiritual and literary lives!

Pax et bonum
