I think we discussed J P.

Only credit i can give him is in his treatment of some woke nonsense.

First time i listened to him debate Sam Harris i wanted to pull out my hair even if i am bald. Annoying in his intransigence and i am pretty sure Harris had his BP elevated having to debate him. And the way he arrived at his religious convictions is…[Read more]

Few yrs ago was hiking during winter along a ridge and there was a dusting of snow that concealed ice. Feet came out from under and i was about to fall down a cliff. Arms slammed the trail with legs dangling and pulled myself up onto trail without any conscious thought. Heart did not even have a chance to respond to hormones and i was up and safe.…[Read more]

Simon says “You might be surprised to find that studying all this evolutionary philosophical stuff, helps a person to navigate life successfully.”

Maybe a little but not shocked if it is true. Meanwhile it is divorced from how life actually works when viewed from a distance. Definitely see the value in acknowledging the role of evolution. i have…[Read more]

Brain Droppings:

Filched it and am gonna guess two of you get the reference.

Yeah Pope that forever endeavor will linger longer. And it is quite apparent the LLM’s are rapidly improving. Interestingly i challenged Meta after it once again towed the party line in asserting it does not remember prior conversations with users. Not only did Meta…[Read more]

Cows came back to attack the ones who drained their udders. Cows declared there and then, “hey my teats ain’t rudders!”

Woke is an obnoxious handle. Reminds me of the chosen people.
Make America Rip Van Winkle again.

Thanks, Reg!

@unseen Nice!  Thanks!  Great analogy. I support your position.

Your consciousness is like your digestive system. Where does that go when you die?

I was intrigued by that video but i can’t help wondering if it is authentic.

If it is and it’s drawing on external information and making value judgments and conclusions about human endeavors then…

Then what? Well i suppose it presages a form of intelligence that will take precedence over all humans. AI or alien intelligence citing that…[Read more]

Had some sort of mental breakdown and now he’s running a church. Maybe Trump will appoint him as his spiritual advisor.

We heard it here first!

Thanks, Reg!

Pope’s take: I have empathy for Hamas’s and other terrorist’s kids. Some Palestinian adults are also innocent victims, like gays who need to keep their mouths shut or be executed. But those students too easily ignore the horrific nature of terrorism.

I agree. What would it matter the identity of the Palestinians in Gaza living in a degenerate cul…[Read more]

Pope,

So many threats to civilization!

I like the distinction he makes about humans v AI with the former having free speech and the latter not. If i understand algorithms to date they are essentially businesses influencing consumers of information to be in Plato’s cave and see those shadows. And i suppose there are nefarious actors attempting…[Read more]

AI will control us by 2034? That is absurd. Humans are discerning, have free will and make decisions for themselves!

Arthur Miller was a Harvard law Professor and a priestly one at that.

Stephen Miller is filler emptier than a hillbilly beer can.

His audience eating it up…now that’s portrait of an ideologue. Doesn’t matter what is on the menu. Mindless and swept up in the current.

Matt Gaetz withdraws?

Oh that sucks. Loved that guy. Man if you can judge a book by its faccia brutta? Guy is the arch criminal…i think a composite of Nixon, the Joker and somebody else. Wow does he look like a nefarious mofo. I think there is some science supporting the how they look is how they are.

Hate Club v Blood Tribe.

Old time religion. Free speech. Good people on both sides.
This is so refreshing after the left wing racism.…[Read more]

As a kid i loved B. Russell. All of those my dearest Berty letters…

Reread one of his books as an adult and said…meh…

Ever do that?

While i know our faith in the efficiency of the free marketplace of ideas is overstated it is the best we have to fight lies. Ideological echo chambers are more efficient at preserving those lies. But without the disinfectant it is just hopeless. So i am hoping for more and more debates. The lies of the left have gotten so much traction that even…[Read more]
