Sunday School 1 month, 3 weeks agoEnco,
I read like half of that article and did so while sleep deprived. Don’t remember a goddamn thing i read but at times disagreed with it.
So here are some thoughts in re to terrorism. In terrorem.
So i don’t think there is a uniform or consensus definition of terrorism. And without defining terms as a starting point confusion and…[Read more]

Artificial Intelligence 1 month, 3 weeks agoGates seems a bit naive.
The notion democracy will be utilized to direct the trajectory of AI and the dual capacity of AI to be the worst nightmare or the civilizational boom is unfortunately not gonna happen.
The polarization brought on by the far left woke progressive whatever the label has sailed that ship. And if i am being frank and not…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 month, 4 weeks agoEnco i never thought about the bicycle gender apartheid. I am not sure why. Usually i look junk up. Not this time. I may die never knowing why.

Sunday School 2 months agoStone age?
Agreed. We’ve bearly surpassed it. Jiggery-pokery on a bicycle spoke to me. It is my own shadow. It follows me wherever i go. Then suddenly, suddenly, suddenly and without warning it disappears. Just as suddenly it reappears and follows me dispensing jiggery-pokery ensconced in foppery.
So when i summoned courage to punch that man’s…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 months agoI remember playing Echoes from Pink Floyd’s Meddle, some 50+ years ago, with the record arm lifted so it would play on repeat. Around the third time, my father unexpectedly burst into my room shouting at me to turn it off, as it was like Chinese water torture to him. So obviously I did, but I had remained astounded that the notes of Pink Floyd at…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 months agoSo you are skeptical?
I reserve judgment. Obviously need repetition and consistency before it is a thing. Keep in mind again that the mind clearly plays a role in the placebo effect. And state of mind seems to be instrumental in some dying and others living. Hey i get it. If anything FEELS like woo it is…USE YOUR MIND TO HEAL THOSE WOUNDS!

Check out this article. Sounds nuts to think that focusing on the pain may induce healing. Instinctively we want diversion or pain relief. But then again fooling the individual thinking they are getting the good stuff sometimes helps.

Batwomen are thriving in Afghanistan the way Israelis are genociding Palestinians.
If a poll were taken what percent would have awareness of the gender apartheid in Afghanistan and the misery/suffering caused by Islam? Ok, I will guess. 1 to 2 percent depending on demographics.
Human rights advocates aka liberals and humanism itself have…[Read more]

So i am babbling late at night as is my wont. “I’m Schlomo and i am a hobo. Can i bum a token to get to Hoboken.”
I was answered. A voice appeared as though i were some 8th century prophet. “Hello Schlomo. How can i help you?”
And the text appeared on my screen for a second or two.
I guess it is some setting. I asked the LLM with whom (whom?…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 months, 1 week agoOk wise guy i asked all knowing AI.
Yes, it is fair and accurate to characterize microbes as evolving in response to antibiotics. Antibiotics create a strong selective pressure. Microbes with random genetic mutations that grant resistance survive. They then pass those helpful traits to their offspring, leading to evolutionary adaptation.How…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 months, 1 week agoEnco,
I’ve heard lab grown meat is served in restaurants in Singapore. Still a process that needs to be refined. Carbon emissions will be significantly lower i think. Land requirements obviously far lower. The cells still need food so i guess that and energy are required. How much compared to animal farms? No can say.
Not only would orthodox…[Read more]

I don’t know of any atheist Popes or do i but certainly have read about atheist preachers. It is a lucrative gig. Might even do some good if the grifter atheist fesses after the fact. Naa. It probably would not.

Just trying to establish the only kind of cause there can be for this phenomenon, one within the Natural Universe:

No drugs. No lucid dream.
It is very odd. Really is.
Made me think of it as an in to a sci fi novel. A very contemporary one in which the we’re here is revealed to a few.
I guess a two sided handle on a coffee cup would solve the issue i am having. Shark Tank will have to wait. I would be solving a problem for myself. Not sure anyone else…[Read more]
