WSFM Message | David Teague 10.18.2026: "We Have the Answer, but Do We Understand the Question?"

What happens when having the answer is mistaken for understanding the question? What happens when information is mistaken for understanding, or knowledge for wisdom? Three people speaking English couldn't understand each other. A supercomputer spent seven and a half million years calculating the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. The disciples spent years with Jesus and still didn't understand what He was asking of them. What do these stories have in common? More than you might think. This Quaker message explores artificial intelligence, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Star Trek, George Fox, and Jesus' teaching on wisdom and service. Recorded at Winston-Salem Friends Meeting, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. #Quaker #GeorgeFox #ArtificialIntelligence #Christianity #Wisdom #HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy #StarTrek
