Enco i am an iconoclast to a fault. Makes me sick seeing a big fat ugly cross in a hospital. Crosses adorning morons same. And lots of other similar reactions. But i would take that good friday comment as a good natured joke. If a Muslim came into the store and said you are killing me here waiting on you to ring me up. Oh but that might work out…[Read more]

Enco,

It aint that bad. Living among theists who posit every form of mythology from the ahistorical scapegoating of Israel mythology to the good place/bad place for immortals decided by a guy with a white beard who is watching us every second along with the endless homilies and worthless religious prattle ya just roll with the punches.…[Read more]

@Unseen – beating his own previous record, I imagine.

Reg,

Thanks.

Yeah Reg that is an interesting case.

I don’t think many who are doing as well as he apparently was would take their lives. Love his humility too. That perspective he expressed is dope.

And in that vein i think it is important none of us lionize or place on a pedestal anyone just cuz we fancy they are super intelligent. We all make mistakes.…[Read more]

Sunday school has had a few articles involving unforseen consequences. How this apparent debacle in tariffs and related Trumpery will play out no human can know. Seems safe to predict no good will come of it and yet we don’t know.

Hardcore woke. Hardcore MAGA. Not much difference really.

I would be more alarmed by Trump were i to credit Maher’s take. From literally the first time i heard him and ascribed to him idiocy the idea formed that he is just driven by an atypical personality and is essentially amoral. A guy who will act impulsively and not in the public interest…[Read more]

Roughly 86 billion per shield, whether defective or effective.

“Median person mentally and morally very limited” and yet it is an experiment that ought to be conducted. Construction of C T shields begin! Lets suppose it is one percent of the population that think well. Maybe it doubles or triples given the training and ameliorates the woefully…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg!!

Authoritarianism.

It not only goes with religious societies. It is the sine qua non, the little engine, the clarion call, the marionette to the puppet.

If Islam is successful in its objective to attain world domination it won’t be as it has been historically via the sword. (Am hoping Israel/USA blast the nuclear weapons of Iran or its…[Read more]

Authoritarianism goes so well with the religious societies. A belief in a god or ‘superior’ entity and a belief in Dear Leader are really not all that far apart. If you’re already worshipping a god, it’s not a huge pivot to worshipping a leader.

Strega,

Give hegemony to far left/Islamists the Islamists execute the socialist/lefties as they did in Iran in 1979.

A war would ensue between the various Muslim sects to determine top dog. Excellent chance they’d all agree to complete the final solution. I am not going to elaborate on the horrors of Islam. I think to one degree or another we…[Read more]

With respect to the regime without any rights, I am hard pressed to see that as something different than that which the current administration aims for.

“I would like to quote what you said last time, that ‘there’s nothing that’s more important to this court than due process rights and fundamental fairness.’”

Mahmoud Khalil addressing the court that ruled gov can kick his sorry ass to Timbuktu or seaworthy to Davy Jones locker! Ain’t that rich having the scum of the earth intend to capitalize…[Read more]

“And somehow, we Unbelievers ended up being smered as the arrogant, preumptuous ones.”

It is written.

If one were to credit a theist with a modicum of perspective instead of a cave of ignorance the arrogance is outstanding.

Enco, I’ve always found “unnatural” to suffice.

Thanks Reg!

AI assisted sleep is an idea worth exploring. Assess physiology, cultural influences and give us what so many are missing. A good night of sleep! Not sure what AI can do for the waker uppers who have benign prostatic hyperplasia or a bladder that wakes us.

However imagine after an assessment one person gets that drumbeat rhythmic assist, another…[Read more]

Ah Enco, you conceive of receiving music from AI that might disturb you going to sleep. That would be untamed music

How far are we from asking AI to match our sleep phases and introduce sounds to encourage conscious dreaming, or to assist us as biological individuals to reach optimum rest. Perhaps using a device similar to a smart watch. It…[Read more]
