I 've always wondered what Ezekiel saw by the river Chebar, Ezekiel chapter 1, around 600 BC during Babylonian captivity. He called them 'living creatures.' Each one had four faces, four wings, and were lifted up from the face of the Earth. If they weren't robots or artificial intelligence that Ezekiel saw, then nothing has been. Are there robots, artificial intelligence in the Kingdom of God? We know there are animals like on earth in the Kingdom of God, because in the book of ACTS Paul saw a vessel come down with animals, and was told to eat. But where 'made' or 'created' entities such as robots or artificial intelligence exists, can those beings that create such artifacts, be said to be eternal beings, or angels? Why would angels, or God himself, need artificial intelligence, other than the fact he is the Creator. AI seems to go against our notions of God? Why would God need robots?

That is true @zeke1234. AI should make humanity, but I fear it will just increase wealth inequality, because people are too greedy.

“Knowledge is power,” and “absolute power corrupts absolutely.” This is what makes AI in the hands of capitalists so dangerous.

@Stefan that last reply to Pioneer reminded me of @Cynique and made me laugh. @Pioneer1 the act of voting becomes far less effective with sophisticated, computer-driven gerrymandering. You should read the article. Clarence Thomas is a problem. Where is the drop squad when you need them?

Yes, as ProfD already stated...he claims Jewish heritage. As I said before, when you go to the Eastcoast you'll find MANY Jews who look like him or are darker with more African features. When I lived in Pennsylvania I met Jews who were so dark they looked like East Indians and I thought they may have been Ethiopian Jews and they said NO, they were raised in America but their parents were from parts of Europe like Hungary, Poland, and Russia. Karl Marx was Jewish and if you see pictures of him, he looks kind of like Frederick Douglass.

While this is true to a CERTAIN extent keep in mind...... The "nigga culture" is so strong it often pulls the children OF the middle-class and affluent AfroAmericans into the "gangsta" lifestyle. A lot of Black children who grow up in rich and so-called "good" households often get bored or think they aren't living "Black enough" so they rebel against their upbringing and go ghetto and get thugged out. Which brings me to another point..... Black wealth is too UNSTABLE in the U.S. Unlike the White and even Asian communities in the U.S. where the wealthy will pass down wealth to their offspring generation after generation and their progeny will often either maintain or add to that wealth -too often AfroAmerican wealth and affluence only lasts for ONE generation. Brutha man or sista girl works hard, fights against racism and obstacles, sacrifices and struggles to build wealth and establish a multi-million-dollar business and leaves it to their children only for them to lose it by: -getting involved in criminal activities and having it confiscated by the government -marrying a White or non-Black spouse and having it taken in divorce -or simply losing the wealth their parents left them through neglect and poor business management. But this is a different subject all together.

I'm glad I'm in the company of like minds.....because the lion is ABSOLUTELY one of my favorite animals! I LOVE lions for many many reasons. And like the good Professor said, lions are always on code. It's in their nature. Like Chris Rock said in one of his stand-up routines: "When somebody goes into a lion's cage and get's attacked and eaten, they say the lion went crazy. No! The lion just went LION. He did what a lion is SUPPOSED to do! The man was the crazy one for walking onto that lion's cage!" Lions are on code and do what THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO....especially when they're out in the wild. Run up in their territory and the Pride will IMMEDIATELY investigate to see what you're up to! Are you competition? Are you trying to take one of our females? Are you trying to take some of our land/territory away from us? What's your aim....your purpose.....your angle? They instinctively know you want SOMETHING or you wouldn't have brought your ass up in there....lol. Now compare lions to the average nigga and what THEY do when other people come up in their neighborhood!

The lion is my favorite animal. 👍🏿 Sista @Cynique doesn't think humans should take cues from a creature that hasn't evolved.🤣 However, from a social perspective, lions are always on code.😎
