The need to cooperate is where expectations of behavior come from.
I thought yea and then i thought, did Robert filch that line from Simon.

Robert sharp take.
BUT it has no bearing on reality. It is like saying…brilliant, the universe is without an architect or someone to give us an afterlife and punish us for being bad and lick out nice parts when we are good.
On the other hand free will or its permutations are kind of irrelevant. We always live our lives in a way that feels…[Read more]

Enco, Translation. Let em starve.
We have seen in USA how it works out in a free market for the neerdowells, hobos, gutter snipe, down and outs and untermensch. And when business is not burdened with laborers rights. Even during the depression were it not for the government stepping in with programs…
There are instances in which government is…[Read more]

Robert we are in agreement as to those who want help. The issue becomes what sort of assistance is or ought to be available.
As to whether addiction is a disease i think that is a misnomer. On other hand addiction alters chemistry and causes those who are hooked to do shit they’d never do in the absence of the addiction. I have known some…[Read more]

Enco,
What is the role of government for those who are incapable, unsupported, without family or friends and will starve or freeze without help?

What do the folowing have in common? I ate all the Frusen Gladje & “No excuse whatsoever. The behavior is indefensible”
If he meant it he would probably say MY behavior.

Understandable gaffe.
Biden wants to open the wall that Trump made Mexico pay for to enable humanitarian tacos as succor for the innocents.

I will only vote if i can vote for Big Bad Beto OooooO’Reilly O’Rourke from county Cork.
It is not just a little funny the quality of our leading candidates. Sliding ever closer to Idiocracy. Run Dusty Run.

Perhaps when a nation has a great many who vote against interest it is a sign of a sick society. When personal interest plays second fiddle to ideology as we see in Gaza it means that humans have been fiddled and diddled.

Take me to your leader.
Kyphotic, robotic hypnotic.
I wonder whether the universe generates AI *actual intelligence after the biological model is at its critical stage of near extinction.

Significance of free will?
It is everything. Who, what are we?
Are we as robotic as protozoa? Layers and layers of unconscious evolutionary biology with an outer shell of awareness arisen recently in the prefrontal cortex. First we realized we are not special selection and therefore not really any more important thatn protozoa, just a natural…[Read more]

No doubt about it; but some way more than others. We survived until now by acting in concert. A naked human wandering the woods or plains alone is dead meat. We all join tribes one way or another and follow the trend; each to varying degrees.

Sunday School 2 years, 9 months agoEnco,
To clarify i am not saying every single human being. I don’t think for instance AI could write a program to influence us to believe in God.
But under the right circumstances and calculated environment civilization could be moved to believe that their forbears were troglodytes in the way they fought incessantly and cared so little for each…[Read more]

And nobody Jake, former attorney extraordinaire who lost perhaps 3 arguments in court in his not illustrious 15 yr career asserts it is a nobrainer. He isn’t eligible.
In fact it is damn right irresponsible to permit him to run.
And ya i get the kneejerk response about allowing democracy to eliminate the neerdowells, miscreants, gutter snipe,…[Read more]
