The Neo-Amish Mindset

Reclaiming Reality

The Neo-Amish Mindset introduces a new framework for Christians navigating our AI-saturated world. We explore how believers can engage thoughtfully with technology while preserving human dignity, community values, and spiritual well-being.
• Rejecting both blind technological optimism and total rejection in favor of deliberate, principled engagement
• Combating "apocalyptic fatalism" that views AI as inevitably leading to dystopia
• Learning from the Amish approach of evaluating technology based on its impact on community and faith
• Applying technological discernment to education, economic life, and social structures
• Building parallel structures that preserve human dignity in an increasingly AI-dominated world
• Resisting transhumanism and other ideologies that undermine the Christian understanding of humanity
• Embracing our role as stewards of creation while acknowledging technology's moral dimensions
• Creating communities where faith and reason coexist and technology serves human flourishing
The path forward requires neither Luddism nor capitulation, but dominion through discernment—using technology as tools for Kingdom purposes while resisting its dehumanizing effects.
