Thank you for sharing this. There’s just so much to discuss.

Let me just articulate one issue which I haven’t really seen discussed. As I understand it AI assumes something along the lines of that the problem was presented to the decider  and he went through an intellectual process and came up with the result. While this may be often true I can’t help but  of Rybs’s  comments in community, covenant and conversation where he says he knew the result for the question concerning drafting chaplains, and just had  to come up with a logic to support it. I think there’s a related story of the. Chatam sofer telling his son to send the decision out, even if he didn’t agree with the logic. The decision was right in any event. Of course, this also gets to the argument for needing a live decider because of heavenly intervention.


This whole topic would be great for a series of breakout groups.
