A World teeming with human organisms,
In a World where expectation exceeds attainability,
In a World where innovation exceeds the innovator,
In a World where innovation dictates,
What will happen next.

Religion is inspired by ignorance.
Nutty Man based religion is inspired by ignorance and testosterone.
Doesn't matter which club.
But some clubs tend to be nuttier than others.

Apostasy is just another made up thing for religious anti-socialists, who have a propensity for violence.
Same old religious stuff then.

Something might matter,
I think that is the necessary motivation.
Normal is data manipulation and existence relative to programmed data and inherent programming.
Survival, procreation, getting up to do stuff in the morning, and ideas of fulfilment.

The Webb telescope only finds old light relative to an older Universe.
It doesn't find old galaxies per se.
Galaxies are as old as they are.
Probably a similar age to our own.
Though I understand the significance of the old light to the New Scientist.
Maybe something/s in a distant galaxy are currently thinking the same as you and I.

A Zedku for Deb.
I went to Sunday School,
And came home again,
None the wiser.
Mum was cooking Sunday Lunch,
And Dad had gone to the Pub,
With Uncle Jack.
He wasn't my real Uncle.
My Dad taught me all I needed to know about religion.

The "criminal element" is simply a labelled collective with an opposing ideology.
Labelled by an opposing collective with an opposing ideology.
Who dictates to society, will depend upon the size and power of the collective.

I would suggest that there is a tendency to never really consider what A.I. means.
I would further suggest that the word "alternative" is more appropriate.
An intelligent entity will be just that.
Whereas a programmed device, remains just that.
A.I. will evolve, as everything does.
And the human manipulation and development of matter is no more or less a part of the process.

If you teach kids non-sense, then they will grow up believing in non-sense.
Muslims, Christians et al.
And some are taught extreme non-sense.
It's just the way it is.

One can only guess, based upon known data.
Though I will be honest and say that I don't run with current gender trends.
You are either a sperm producer or an egg producer.
Failing that you are a developmental anomaly.
Though it would be foolish to suggest that species evolution isn't ongoing.

@ Malcharaz.
Will it be made, or will it evolve.
To be truly A.I.
Must it become self perpetuating?
I think so.
Free floating data extracting energy from the ether.
Does A.I. need to be robot shaped.
Though to a degree, we are already under the spell of airborne data.

Believe it or not.
Despite what we are force fed these days,
Males and females are different.
Therefore they have a tendency to behave differently.
One has to actively seek out this sort of conscious outlet.
And females are clearly less prone to doing so, and also tend not to hang around for long.
Maybe it's as simple as that.
Hopefully you will hang around for a while.
But not so vitriolically as Poly.

Well if you could ask the Russian people, they might tell you different.
But of course who would dare to tell you what they really think.
No one wants to accidentally fall out of a tower block window if they can possibly help it.
And I wasn't necessarily thinking dermatitis.
But more, old school cold war paranoia.

A. Sin is a concept relative to evolved intellect.
B. Human nature and associated aggression is a base function relative to survival and procreation.
So we could attempt to re-educate the entire human race.
And possibly re-engineer the human machine.
What are the chances of achieving either?

#25.
Logical realism says - that nothing can come from nothing. It requires something to create something and to cause something.
Well, not exactly sure about the first bit.
I would say that primarily logical realism says - that something cannot come from nothing. Though experience compels us to conclude otherwise.
And then several billion years later, or several thousand depending on who you listen to, and according to a compilation of Middle Eastern folk tales.
We finally knew exactly what happened, and therefore must worship the son of a virgin.
Logical realism for sure Trade.
Nope as an atheist I simply cannot concur with such a naive hypothesis awash with illogic.

Hey.
Call me just what ever you like Sir.
I will read,
I will smile,
And I will respond.
Offence is created by the offended.
They input light signals, electro-chemically decode them, assess, conclude and decide to play for the sympathy vote.
Deciding to smile is a whole lot easier.
Point of fact.
Poly was by far the most amusing contributor on Dart.
Have a lovely day Sir.

I think it's fair to say that before he became old, megalomaniacal and paranoid. "The West" had a certain respect for Putin.
But typically he became an old, megalomaniacal, paranoid Russian.

Nope. I also seem to have been blocked from day one, whenever that was.
They probably went through the religious forum and decided.
Atheist, Block.
Atheist, Block.

Which as I see it, means that we defeated them on Day one.
Notice the pro-nouns.
How woke is that?

Yep.
The Orange Guy didn't really have a clue.
I think that the whole World worked that one out.
Save for a few heavily armed rednecked hill billy backwoodsmen in red caps busily screwing their sister.
And their sisters and their mums who are their dads sisters and therefore also their aunts.
Of course their dad could also easily be their grandad.
Only joking.

It's only the 25th.
And Melchy blocks me.
I'm already cast out into their wilderness of perpetual sin.
Though I never did quite get the whole Jesus Christ sin obsession thing.
Is it all to do with sex Deb?
Adam and Eve and Sam Smith and naughty snakes in the garden and apples, and all that.
I suppose down there it would be Arbroo and Yindi and Witchetty grubs and naughty snakes of course, in the outback.

Out of respect to others, is what matters to friends, family etc.
Perhaps I misunderstood.
I was just saying....... As long as we are all happy with our own choices then we should all be happy with each others choices.
Mutual respect as it were.

If A B and C are vaccinated, and D chooses not to be,
Then A B and C are protected, and D chooses not to be.
Any one of them could come into contact with the Covid virus,
Though A B and C would be better protected, and D has chosen not to be.
Therefore, they all should be content with their own choices, and respectful of each others.

How true is the history?

@IlDiavolo
As I stated.
America (and Canada) were/are essentially Western Europe.
Save for a few non-indigenous indigenes, who are in fact East Asians.
And others who were brought over from Africa, who also assimilated into American Neo-European culture.
Let's be honest.
The World's full of people, because people have always been migratory.
And people also have a propensity for making maps and sticking labels on them.
This is here and that is there
And you are thus labelled because.

Never heard of it.
Is it just woke bullshit?
I just asked this question elsewhere.
Who was it that reputedly said?
"History is a version of past events that people have decided to agree upon."
Which is sort of a self-affirming statement, because all people never actually agree.

OK. We're getting somewhere.
Christians now think that the Bible tales are a bit of a nonsense.
Especially in respect of GOD, the virgin Mary, the baby Jesus, and Jesus Christ who was not actually GOD.
So how does that affect the Christian hypothesis?
Or is this just the Trade hypothesis?
Trade's version:
Well, even though something cannot come from nothing.
It seemingly did.
In fact, it came from something eternal which we refer to as GOD
And even though we don't know exactly what GOD is, we must nonetheless worship it.
Zed's version:
Well, even though something cannot come from nothing.
It seemingly did.
So, it may have come from something eternal, which I refer to as the GOD principle.
But as I have no idea as to what it might be, I see no need to worship it.
We're not poles apart Trade.
Some people need to worship something, ergo theist.
And some people don't, ergo atheist.
