This is my favourite part of X at the moment. #SaitamaVsGoku
Wait so #DEATHBATTLE made Saitama win against Superman, but lose to Goku who lost to Superman THREE TIMES???
Perhaps, however that is not it's intent. Those who try to read science into religion do both a disservice. The point is that the great subject of religion, God, is essentially ineffable to us and requires faith.
In the same way you advocate faith in AI, nature being at some point, ineffable to human minds.
People say the same of religion. You have simply made AI your god.
Got bored and asked Grok who I look like in different contexts. In Michael Moorcock's universe I am Elric of Melniboné. In Shakespeare I am Prospero, Orpheus in Greek mythology.
"Plotinus (with a strong nod to Jung) the philosopher, and William Blake the poet. Johann Sebastian Bach the composer, and Leonard Cohen the modern songwriter.
And now I have anxiety. 🙂
Hey @Grok
Based on my entire post and comment history, what anime character best matches my personality? Create a picture to go along with it.
Interesting. Now I have to watch it. Fortunately, there is an English dub version of season 1 on YT.

I can't decide between two: Part of me says Critical Thinking, in large part because social media has shown us rather decisively, that maybe most people, do not know how to think.
The other is Music - learn how to play an instrument, Theory, Music History.
Not sure which one will have greater long term positive impact.
"Not everyone is a nice person, you know?"
I'm reminded of Westworld. When people visit Westworld, and take on the idea that they can do whatever they want to the androids in the park, with no consequences, torture, murder, rape ensues.
Sadism is much closer to the surface in us humans than we would want to admit.
I am in favour of public executions, in certain instances.
Funny how life can change a person. I am by nature a kind of soft, sensitive person, and earlier in life I was against the death penalty. Now, I think publicized blood eagle should be a capital punishment option, in certain instances.
What happened? Well, integration of the shadow happened. Even though I am by nature soft and sensitive, I realize that life is not like that, and sometimes, a certain brutality is needed. In fact, if we are to keep a society in which people such as myself can thrive, sometimes a brutal barbarism is essential, vital.
It's not that I would enjoy such a thing. No sane person should - and that's the point. Some crimes are so egregious, that justice itself requires a brutal consequence.
