摘要

Following an introduction to the specifically Afro-Islamic science of geomancy, this interview pairs a professional geomancer and Europeanist with an amateur geomancer and Islamicist to explore the ways in which this science—the OG Artificial Intelligence and parent of modern computing—continues to be not just a wonderfully useful and sustainable technology in its own right, but indispensable for thinking about the ethics of technology during our ecocidal and epistemicidal moment. It consists of modified excerpts from an online interview with Dr. Cummins conducted by Dr. Melvin-Koushki on January 10, 2025.
