Hmmmm pictures.
We definitely need a see/hide pictures option, simply because they can quickly clog up a thread. (See DebateIsland)
Also, while we're at it, it would be better if after posting a comment, the page returned to the ongoing discussion rather than to the beginning.
Anyway, as ever, always nice to chat with you.
Yep, in my mind, until it reappears in a spaceship, GODDO will remain a sci-fi or fantasy concept.
No, let's be fair, GODDO will remain a reasonable hypothesis.
But then you have the whole church sing song, yabba yabba, sin, repentance, salvation heaven and stick your tenner in the collection box for the church roof...Would Mr Omni be so stupid as to require all that?...I'm 99% certain, not.
So you think that some people are a problem?
An online debating forum is an exchange of narratives, oftentimes contentiously, but where naked and shouting is not an option.
And discrimination is arbitrary.
Hmmmmm contention, isn't that the whole focus of a debate?
Seems somewhat counterintuitive to filter out one side of the argument.
We think about things relative to conditioning and sensory suggestion.
And we all think separately because we are all conditioned separately and exposed to varying suggestions.
Theism and atheism are labelled options, but basically consider the same ideas, resulting in different conclusions.
To believe is to conclude without any real proof.
Not believing is the alternative, though one can still consider the same relevant data.
The human desire to monitor and censor is insidious.
Freedom of speech and expression is already widely subject to limitations.
How long before freedom of thought Winston Smith?
An individual has the right and the ability to ignore, this should be content filtering enough.
But of course, they don't want to ignore, they enjoy making songs and dances and scoring points.
It's all a natural process.
It's somewhat illogical to suggest that everything that occurs within a Universe is natural except what humans get up to..
And so AI will evolve and become self aware.
As I always point out, it's taken hominids several million years to get this far, whereas techno-intelligence has been developing for less than
100.
So we created it and develop it, and now we are reliant upon it, do you see the process ever reverting?
And we are seemingly compelled to assist it's evolution, why do you think this is?
Hmmmmmm
Sensitive content is the realm of the overly sensitive.
And also becomes the realm of dictatorial censorship.
Exactly.
What is the point of a President?
For sure, if everyone always agreed to agree, things would get very cheesy and unagreeable.
Yep I know how it works.
Though a Party Political President will never truly represent an entire nation.
And certainly Trump has no desire at all, to represent the views of an entire nation.
I think that people are very very slowly becoming less reliant upon make believe and fantasy concepts.
Though some people still like to dress up and do stuff in the woods around a bonfire. Especially if there is a beer and a burger on offer.
Personally I think that connecting with the dead is a tad necrophilic.
So Donald says something and some people drool. Such are the needs of some people.
Hitler said stuff and people extatically raised their hands aloft in salute, such was their need.
The orange man with the fuzzy hair and the crazy man with the Charlie Chaplin moustache.
Doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to me. But it does to some.
As I see it, everything is natural.
Therefore AI is evolving in nature. (Alternative Intelligence)
You are describing ongoing universal events, based here on Planet Earth.
In terms of functions and their processes, consciousness simply defines a state of awareness, relative to a particular data processing system, whether that be a wholly organic system, a wholly electronic system or a hybrid system.
And speech is just a sound based method of communicating data, and will perhaps become redundant. As it stands, we already have a generation that prioritises smartphone input/output over conversation.
I think that species evolution is reaching it's limits. In fact to a large extent, material progress is already largely reliant upon computer technology.
Will you be willing to put your family last?
What are you on about Mal?
The reason why I am not a theist is because I wasn't taught to be one.
It really is that simple.
Nah.
Atheists can run with all sorts of creation and existence hypotheses, but without the need for belief.
Which isn't the same as believing in fantasy religious baloney.
As I see it, a Presidents role should be as an unbiased global ambassador for the Nation, rather than as an autocratic party affiliate.
States have their own political representatives.
Yep, no political or diplomatic qualifications necessary.
Sorry, but your previous comment wasn't coherent.
What were your trying to ask or say?
My childhood was pretty much OK.
Certainly not worthy of extensive psychoanalysis.
As I like to point out, the popular vote in 2024 was roughly 50-50. Which is perhaps what one might expect.
So Trump was not overwhelmingly popular, he just benefited from what is, the contrived US voting system.
So the 2024 Presidential election was simply a loss for the Democrats rather than the abject failure that you like to make out.
In fact pretty much the same happened previously for the Republicans.
It really is just a case of wait and see what happens next time.
And as always, the US Presidential election circus is all about who can put on the best show and buy and sell themselves for the highest price.
Last time it was Trumpo the goofy orange clown…And he sure has entertained us since.
The off white boring lady didn't really cut the mustard…Especially in them there good ole States…As one might of expected.
For sure, in a fantasy world anything is possible.
For sure, each to their own.
And if all people were tolerant, perhaps the world would be a better place.
Though I'm thinking that reprogramming society is an impossible task.
As I stated Transphobia is a recently created compound word used for dramatic effect, wherein “phobia” has a corrupted definition.
An arachnophobe is simply someone who is assumed to unfairly discriminate against spiders.
And it's reasonable for any employer to assume that a person who clearly displays specific types of physiological issues, is likely to be unreliable and overdemanding.
And “trans” as in the modern trend, seeks to prioritise the irrational behaviour of the few over the rationale of the majority. Why is this not regarded as heterophobia?
As I suggested, genuine OBE's are always "real" internally simulated experiences.
Occurring usually when internal systems are under some form of stress.
I say usually, because I too experienced what I would describe as a levitation experience, during an intense meditation/relaxation event.
Though I suppose that an intense relaxation/meditative experience also challenges the functional norm.
Yep, thanks guys the new site is coming along nicely.
Yep, that uniform routine, certainly goes with my new image.
"Identarian" as in far right pan-European ideologue.
Not really my sort of label.
I'm more of a globalist, who holds certain viewpoints and respects the right of others to hold a different viewpoint.
By your own admission, you are an incel who is affraid of women, and who only experiences self administered sexuality.
So on the one hand you are talking from experience, and on the other hand you are talking from somewhere else altogether.
Somewhere where the sun don't shine.
That place where you store an awful lot of data.
Figured.
Employers don't hire certain people for certain reasons.
Most economic decisions will be based upon reliability and therefore profitability, and certain other staffing considerations will also be taken into account.
And I'm guessing that your claim is an assumption based upon second hand information.
Though outright prejudice and discrimination is still not a phobia.
Nonetheless, I think that an employer is also entitled to make their own personal decisions. To say otherwise is equally as discriminatory.
Transphobia is simply a modern compound abbreviation generally used for dramatic effect.
So you have no data. Okay.
This is a meaningless statement, unless you can somehow quantify it.
My consciousness affords me access to a plethora of onboard data, as well as access to extensive external data sources. I'm guessing that you function similarly.
So we have plenty of data. Okay.
