LOL, or a Near Death Experience. I still can’t deny that a human can feel connection with that, even if amorphous; even if their context is religious.

One of the clearest, personal examples I can think…[Read more]

My views on life after death beliefs, if I can put them in a nutshell:

Some other animals mourn their dead, as if they can’t believe they’re actually dead, and they keep searching for their lost companion. Most humans, too. There is a natural disbelief in the actual loss. I claim that this is also evidence of “spirituality”, but as I’ve mentioned…[Read more]

If you’re travelling with the Wilburys then I’d imagine you’d be going to the end of the line.

I think Jake’s right. It has to be a psychosis. How could you possibly function in the real world with that sort of scramble in your head?

Besides the fact that we humans have trouble with answering those questions sometimes even about other humans, and note that those questions and answers are still evolving and depend on current cultural perspectives, I choose to not ever assume that AI will have “personhood” equivalent to humanhood, or animalhood, for that matter. In fact, I…[Read more]

So, that was my brief moment of racism this week.

@Reg thank you, that was so funny!
