I just started to read again, regularly. I hadn't read for the last few years. -

If you like science fiction check out Dahlgren by Daniel Delaney and Foundation Trilogy by a Issac Asimov. Delaney is an amazing and thoughtful writer. Asimov is a scientist. Also anything by Octavia Butler -
I am clearly more in that camp. Magic is the central component of most of my life And my devotion is to the esoteric.

@aka Contrarian since 2016 I have been doing time based spells both for myself and others. They work quite well the first one I did I was in and out of the governmental unemployment agency in ten minutes they're were about 5 people ahead of me. I did a major spell a few years back and out is still working. Most spells I do are busy for a day or an activity. So I am also finding they're is a cumulative effect. Life has c gotten a bit easier, more small moments of joy. I am unappreciative to want more than I am receiving? -

I started but it was a bit to dry. I may go back and give it a listen -

Trying something out implies a casualness that antithetical to devotion -

I came across a sacred Vedic text it said that if you are devoted to Astrology you could develop powers. -

@Troy no, one was about a 15 minute car ride away, and the other was a 5 hour plane ride away. One night I felt like I walked through three portals and then I had two people's mind. I read both twice, one was on purpose the other was accidental. The accidental one is the mother of my daughter. She also happens to be an unconscious witch. -

I have heard felt two dead relatives when they passed away. I have smelled, seen and heard something however it wasn't something that went through my senses -

No I haven't been following the election. And I no longer do political predictions using Astrology. -

That could be the Akashic Records -
@Troy you're a Daddy congratulations. Looking Good. (In my Freddie Prinze voice)

Sometimes I feel old but that is moor a function of my moods. I think a bit more because I have less energy. I just got a haircut and a shave people have told me I look good

On a different note. I wonder if this will effect foreign leaders visiting the US. Since even presidential candidates aren't immune to gun violence.

AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS. DETOUR AHEAD
Delano replied to aka Contrarian's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
I guess we will see how well the US survives what comes next. However I feel that it will be an implosion on a few different fronts. -
It wouldn't handle ambiguity, or sarcasm as well as a human. Still can you tell.me how would model the unconscious and intuition.

@Troy I don't think the unconscious can be coded because it is not understood. In the same way I don't think you can code emotions. You may be able to a heuristic so that response matches the emotions.

The Isley Brothers were the best rock ‘n’ roll band ever!
Delano replied to Troy's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
The lead singer was married to Angela Winbush from the duo Rene and Angela. I Think their daughter also sings. -
I don't think it is possible to model the unconscious. It can be argued that actions have stem from a motivation. However it may be impossible to model the unconscious mind.

Did you know that the Isley Brothers used to jam with Jimi Hendrix. You you listened to Ernie Isley you can hear Hendrix -
How can you model something that takes place outside of awareness

Thank you @aka Contrarian

Again I disagree. There is a difference between copying the elements of art and being inspired by others. Beyonce's music sounds like it oild have been created by AI. It's very formulaic and even the way she sings is very much the same. Whereas someone Miles Davis or Prince does the opposite. They are trying to create something different. You started this post mentioning AI marketing to you. Perhaps AI marketing or Art will always feel Artificial.

Work is done in a factory and people have different roles. Work is a bit part of life. It creates social interactions and sometimes it defines who we are, we can become our job. The factory may represent life. The different people can be the way different people either approach life or how they live. So perhaps you see how people's beliefs have been limited by their thinking about life. So you are trying to not only escape this situation. You want to put a lot of distance from it. We use the word fortune to mean wealth. This is the Merriam Webster definition : a store of material possessions the turns and courses of luck accompanying one's progress (as through life). So your purse is the place where you store your talents. I mean that in more than one sense of the word. So losing your purse could either feel like you are wasting time. Since time is money. Although it makes more sense to say money is time. So you are trying to find a way out of the not becoming an automaton. What's interesting is that you include manual as well as office workers as being trapped. So it has been an ongoing process to become free or at least not to feel trapped in a role. So to the extent that you have loved the life you wanted you have left the factory. It also points to your ability to see a situation that others see as normal. Or say that's just the way that it is. Also the factory is going anywhere. Things and people come to it. Whereas a train represents movement and the occupants are more fluid as are their reasons for taking the train
