Even if a very powerful, very knowing, very seeing AI was created.

I can't say I'd see it as 'the God, myself.


Not even 'a God.


Though I appreciate that it might fit some people's definitions.

Highest held personally valued X, whether in a person or abstract concepts such as money, love, or baseball.

A noun, a verb.


The Norse Gods I think could age, perhaps even die of age.


Idunn's apples

"Iðunn's absence causes the gods to grow old and grey, and they realize that Loki is responsible for her disappearance."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iðunn


Humans arguably create,

And if we created some being more than us, would we be such ourselves?

. . . Though one might argue we did not 'create. Reason, I Robot by Isaac Asimov.

Or that the being was not 'created, but 'waiting for us.

. . .


Heh, the Greeks,

Cronus overthrew his father Uranus, Zeus overthrew his father Cronus.

I'm proposing that GOD is a matrix of pure data that is incorporated into a collapsing universe and is vital to the process of universal re-initiation.

@SergeantLynch

I'm not actually sure 'what a matrix is, even though I've seen the movies, and have heard the word elsewhere.


A framework/formula of numbers to explain some existence or function?

. . .


Arguably, everything that exists and might exist (Concepts) are data or can be described as such?

A perfect triangle, 3 sides 60 degrees in each inner angle.

. . .


How is God incorporated into a collapsing universe and is vital to the process of universal re-initiation?


Would they be a phenomenon of nature, as a raincloud is? Part of a cycle?

Pantheism?

Everything is nature.


Everything including the GOD principle is reduced to a finite state of reduction, and then KBOOM.

Banning of public libraries completely or in part, could be an interesting debate.

What type of music do deaf people enjoy?

🤦‍♂️


Probanly ones with powerful beats, otherwise you are surely trolling ina cruel way. Or did.you mean deaf but can hear via hearing aid?

Edit post

The US is a definitively secular nation, founded on complete separation of the State and religion. The Left Wing of US realise this but don't realise that pure freedom requires as low tax and free access to guns as possible. The Right Wing of US don't realise that secular pure freedom means the LGBTQ+ and abortion agendas both end up in line with US's liberty-first ethos.

It is left-wing to be pro-life. You are backing poor babies being born at the inconvenience of the already-born. Go figure.

I meant completely deaf, but one's you hear with a hearing aid, are also worth consideration I suppose.


Now and then I have a fear about losing various senses or body parts.


I think to myself, what type of video games would I play if I lost one or both hands, what if I lost my eyesight, or it just deteriorated, what if I went deaf, or partially deaf.

How could I still enjoy music?

What if I lost my teeth, what would be most enjoyable to eat?


. . . Course, I 'probably won't get into an accident, disease, or age, that such occur,

But I like to be optimistic about the age part, and assume I'll live to 120 years of age.


Partially I wonder for enjoyment,

Partially for concerns about maintaining mental activity and health,

Partially for greed, as I wonder what types of video games would appeal to individuals with such disabilities.

Are you not fond of anyone?


Fondness and familiarity, is what I have often taken love to be.

Valuation of other people, to some vague degree.

Edit post

@Leaning

"LOVE".


Covers a multitude of internal electro-chemical and endocrinal management issues.


As does fondness.


I am fond of my dog, ice cream and a plethora of other sweet desserts.


In terms of psychological attachment, and in descending order of fondness, I am fond of my wife and daughters, my dog and sweet desserts.


There are certainly other appreciations that might also figure in my list of fondness's



The word "LOVE" never really works for me...I'm too rational.

Not really. I dont know why, but I cant care about anyone.

Any time I try to love anyone, I just end up feeling horrible because it feels like I am faking it and just pushing myself to care.

I only help for selfish reasons. I dont help because I care, but because I can later brag about it or cause guilt in others.

Edit post

@SatanLucy

To each their own, I suppose.

. . . I can't say I have 'no selfish reasons of some times I help people.

Sometimes one questions if such is even possible.


But I think I think more of others than myself, sometimes, sometimes give more to others than myself some moments of life.

I like people well enough, more often than not, maybe.

Love my family, am somewhat fond of some friends and acquaintances.

Even like some strangers I see in media.


Heh, though I can be selfish myself, 'sometimes.

Edit post

@Leaning

You are more than selfish most of the time because you engage in “Beliefs: Nihilism, Hedonism, Materialism, Atheism.”

Edit post

#267 •••
@Debby

Selfish is the human organisms default setting.



And:


Belief in nihilism is a contradiction.


Hedonism is genetically encoded, though we have learned to degrees to suppress such messaging.


Materialism is a developed survival strategy...Best cave, best berries, best pile of stones, best fitted kitchen etc.


Atheism is theism with an A, and both are seemingly inevitable intellectual developments....Clever dinosaurs would have worshipped an omni-godosaur and clever/er dinosaurs would have thought that the omni-godosaur hypothesis was a tad silly.


Though when Marysaur laid he clutch of eggs, how would she have chosen which one was Jesusaur.


First to hatch might have been female.


If the 42nd had been a male, that would have proven everything....Life existence and asteroids.

@SergeantLynch

Asteroids are linked to the existence of life on Earth because they likely delivered crucial building blocks for life, such as water and organic molecules, and may have influenced life's evolution through impacts. While large impacts could have caused extinctions, such as the one that killed the dinosaurs, they also cleared the way for other species, like mammals, to flourish, making our own existence a potential result of asteroid activity.

I think long songs can be good.

Around 10 minutes isn't uncommon, even for non AI songs.


(AtSelfMore)

I wonder what makes something 'a song?

Albums have many songs put together, but many albums are a single story so to speak.

. . . The songs tend to have cutoff points I suppose, clear divides where the 'new song begins.

I wonder if there's any where the cutoff point 'isn't clear?


There's the music style, and the story. . .


So one could have a song of Angron walking on his homeworld with Lorgar, reminiscing of his 'true brothers and sisters.

Another song where Lorgar transforms Angron into a Demon Prince while Loyalist World Eaters and Lhorke attempt to stop it,

In a usual album that second song would end with Lhorke's death I think?

Or maybe a new song would 'start with Lhorke's death?

3rd song being one such as a more standard Angron as a Demon Prince.


But 'usually these three songs would either have different music styles, or even if in 'one music style, there would be 'moments, where one see's the new song begin because something new is happening in the story.

Though I suppose one could also just do it all in one style, and say it's one song.


Different styles though. . .

Maybe, Sad, Loyalty, and Doom.


A 'different way, one could make them one song though,

Is to move the style halfway into each song/narrative.

Sad starts with Doom music and fades into sad,

Loyalty starts with sad and fades into Loyalty,

Doom Starts with Loyalty and fades into Sad.


The trick would be for each song to have 'half their style, and half the style before.

Or half their style and half the style oncoming.

Hm, maybe it wouldn't work though.

Also, I imagine it can be tricky to 'slow transition into another style where it's difficult to notice where one ends and another begins.


Heh, besides, I think people would probably separate it into separate tracks anyhow.
