  1. @Troy I'm asking abstract questions whereas you may be asking practical one's.
  2. AI is artificial but I don't think it's intelligent. ChatGPT was underwhelming.
  3. We have a ring of garbage around the earth. And we have to grow fish on farms. Climate change is so a problem. Sounds bad to me. And there's talk that admitting Ukraine into NATO could start World War III.
  4. There is a difference between societal norms and how things play out interpersonally. I remember masculine women who never had a man and may have been lesbians. I have seen feminine men. I have seen a couple where the woman that was handy and man was into art. Ironically he didn't want her doing men's work. Yet she had to nag him to paint. I have so seen roles where the woman is the boss or handles the finances. Mores and norms are arbitrary. I believe there is an African tribe where the women hunt and the men farm. I also recall a tribe where the women have multiple husband's I guess the key is finding what works for you and your partner.
  5. No man can know God, nor does man have power of God, there is only belief. What would you say was the source of power for : Martin Luther King; Malcolm X; Gandhi; Jesus; Muhamad Ali; George Foreman; Cynique; Maya Angelou; Audre Lorde; James Baldwin; Elijah Muhammad; and Louis Farrakhan
  6. The second lead was Denzel's Washington father in Mo Better Blues.
  7. I had a friend who would purposely take the opposite position. He respected my intellect. So it was more of a contest than combat. My pleasure. Say this out loud and hear how it sounds I like to know stuff and figure things out. I have had enough experiences thinking I was right and I was not. I also had the experince of getting what I wanted ad it turned out not good. I have also had losses that turned out to be beneficial. No I have no idea. I can only know the value at the end of my life. I think a lot and I at times think about my thinking. So I am les concerned with others opinions. Unless they are flattering, those I enjoy I forget which philosopher said know thyself. Philosphy is good for thinking out of the box. Although it was created by the Devil (insert the proper emoji)
  8. He had the lowest net worth of any judge on the Supreme Court. Clarence clearly wasn't going that route.
  9. @Pioneer1 I have no beef or grudge with you. I am no longer in the debating phase. I can't speak for Cynique or anyone else. I think abstractly and in concepts you think more concretely and in the practical. Disagreement is not the same as dislike at least it isn't for me. Your question shows self reflection. It is a question based on your experiences but the answer is not in your experience. Or rather the method of answering the question or finding a solution involves thinking in a way that is different. The first question is that your thinking is a product of you experiences and your internal states and personality. There isn't another person that is like you on the planet. This is true for everyone. The second question is is no longer a question if my response to your first question is true. The answer is in the question. You have already decided your answer is clear cut and dry. Most people believe they are right. In my experience people don't generally think they are wrong. You style is discussion is a bit combative. So you have already decided before the discussion that you are right. Then you aren't really having a discussion. Perhaps people may need to think they are right. Otherwise life could be overwhelming. It is better to have a false sense of security that a real existential dread of the future. Let me know if any of that isn't clear You have asked the most important question a person can ask themselves. Since it leads to a more objective sense of your self.
  10. A tiger is stronger than a lion but in a fught the lion is more likely to win. A tiger will rear up on its hind legs and attack with both front paws. Lions only use on paw and even though it isn't as strong of a strike it conserves energy. In addition the mane around a lions head protects it's throat.
  11. That is because of my misnumbering . Number 1 is missing.
  12. I think dedication is required in addition to asking 6 18 14 11 19 20 5 18
  13. Tools and rituals are a way of focusing the mind body and spirit. I also believe it you are devoted to an activity it will reveal its secrets.
  14. @frankster In my system letters and numbers have concepts that are connected to them. I take those concepts pick one meaning and apply it to a word or numbers. So patterns had the following meaning: Within chaos there is a there is a nursing that is obscure. Using active thinking and intuition will be revelatory. Thank You
  15. Does this imply that I a creating the pattern based on the form? If this is not what you mean can you elaborate?
  16. Perhaps but it doesn't change that I can see the pattern. I have been am Astrologer since 1999. I have developed a system to qualify moments in time and read a person unconscious mind using words and numbers. I highly recommend reading Flatland.
  17. Yes this resonates for me. It would account for people inventing the same thing at the same time without interacting with each other. Yes that's is where I am at as well. Power is conferred from those with less power to those with more. However a revolution can upend that relationship. No matter what your level of knowledge it is informed by your belief system. Einstein had a mental conflict with one of his theories, since he felt God does not play dice. There has to be an order. My feeling is that nothing is random. However the level of complexity may be so involved that no pattern is discernable. Not finding or seeing a pattern doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It just may mean that your frame of reference or perspective is too limited. My favourite example of that is the book Flatland by Edwin A Abbot I have in the last few years seen patterns that are mind blowing.
  18. I would say the conscious subconscious and unconscious are part of the mind. Although I am trying to see it from your point of view. If it's infinitely long is that different from it being everlasting? I would say the mind exists in non local space and time. Hence part of you isn't constrained to living in the Now. I don't have a firm answer or position on this question. Nor the one about power belief and knowledge.
  19. I would say the same of the mind. The measurement of time is not the e same as time. The only moment that exists is now. And it is infinitely short and infinitely short. That's isn't my idea.
  20. Ai requires inputs to learn. So when you type a question into ChatGPT you are adding to AI's knowledge base. In addition text prompting may also be utilising AI. I have noticed that if a type a word or a few words text prompting can accurately finish my statement. What this may imply is that text prompting is learning how you thinkor at least mirro=ring it. When this reaches critical mass AI may be said to understand humanity even if it can not think. However if it does gain consciousness, what will be it's objectives and goals. The goal of any organism is self preservation. What do you suppose will happen when AI is not only embedded in most sysytes but is in effect the system. What will happen if it perceives humanity as a threat to it's existence.
  21. No but you made me think. A leader has little to no power if his audience doesn't believe in him/her. Also if they have knowledge of the mess savoury elements of a leaders personality. The leader may again lose power. The evimougies into a recession not because people make less money. But when they believe that things are slowing down. All prices in the stock market are an aggregate of the beliefs of the buyers and sellers. Crowd behaviour and psychology are part of economics.
  22. So knowledge is lower than power. Which is better to have knowledge with no hope of getting power. Or having power with no hope of getting knowledge. I would have past belief below knowledge but based on this conversation. I place belief over power, and power of knowledge. A belief system can make you immune to power plays at least on the mental and emotional levels. Power can be used to restrict access to knowledge Plus it could also be that power is a perception. The powerful can reward you or punish you. Which is only effective if you value what they can give or remove more than what you have inside. Power beliefs and knowledge all have levels. George Foreman has more power than Muhammad Ali. But Ali had more knowledge about boxing. In a fight technique and speed beat power. Bruce Lee Vs Chuck Norris.
  23. Not all powers are rpoweful. Omnipotence is all powerful. So power need not be fully potent it can be partial or weak. Instead of powerful you can substitute forceful. It is was and is a difficult question for me to phrase.
