Maybe.
The future's a long time though.
And there will eventually be places to go.
Perhaps not for thousands of years...But just think how well evolved AI will be by then.
Do you think that Chinese intellect will be able to keep up?

Possible and necessary are not synonymous.
Necessity implies need
Possibility says maybe.
So one could say that an interventionist creator maybe needed.
Or maybe not.

I am of the opinion, that an Interventionist Super-Intelligence (If one should exist), is far more sensible than you give it credit for.
Nonetheless I would be interested to read an exact copy of Ezra's original message...Whereabouts does the original manuscript reside?

The other alternative is, Trump dies soon.
And Putin thought that he could isolate Ukraine.
And since WW2 The US has been blundering around the Globe with their immense super-power, trying to subdue goat farmers.
Before eventually running back home with their tails between their legs.
Nah...Much harder in practice than it is on paper.

Hey Vi.
You need to get your AI to brush up on it's spelling.

In terms of sensibility it would be far better if Canada annexed the US.
Though why the fuck would Canada want to do that?

Natural selection eventually gave us vaccines.
Just as it eventually gave us all other medicines. (Treat the symptoms and the complications, or treat the cause).
And DebateArt.
Though for sure, is 8.2 billion a necessity?
Maybe so, maybe not.
We just don't know.
But in the main, we think that we are a necessity. (Thoughts are nonetheless variable). But in the main.
Does RFK trade on the acronym?
And is it Measles Vaccine, or is it Measels Vacciene...That is the question.

For sure, contingency is merely a life time of process.
And why is a possibility necessarily a necessity?
And the rest is a latter day version of a previous version of......
And as wordy as it maybe, it still doesn't prove a sausage.
And a GOD maybe, regardless of my suggestions.
And your suggestions too.
Or maybe not.
Such is the bottom line of all these GOD hypotheses.

So, call on Dad for me and send him over to my place...I assume that he already knows the Address.
And as I stated, Middle English didn't develop until a thousand years later.
Just pointing out Faux. that modern data doesn't necessarily validate archaic texts...Just reinvents them relative to the expectations of the reviewer...Irrespective of whether it be a 300 year, or 1300 year exercise... If I were to ask you tomorrow, to repeat this paragraph unaided and unpractised, how much would you accurately remember...And what if 300 years from now the same question were to asked of a Chinese speaker.
So who was the person who followed Jesus about, jotting down his exact words...And where are the original copies...And in what language were they written.
And can you send me a copy of the first Greek translation so that I can verify that it is accurate.

As I stated, the word trinity is of Middle English origin, from somewhere between the 11th to the 15th centuries AD...So quite obviously won't be found in Ancient Semitic or Hebrew scripture.
"Bible" is also of Middle English origin.
So the Council of Nicaea sat in Bithynia and was headed by a Roman Serb, and with the help of a cadre of translators attempted to make sense of several hundred years of Chinese whispers...(Best of luck Guys)
Did you know that Vladimir the Great spread Christianity throughout Russia during the 9th century AD.
Funny, seeing as the Name Russia wasn't used until the 16th century AD, and the word Christianity is also of Middle English origin.
OK, so a whole lot of cross referencing going on...But nonetheless exemplifies the inevitability of inconsistencies in later day versions of 2000 to 3000 year old texts.
That's if such texts were actually factual rather than just exaggerated word of mouth recollections.
Notwithstanding that the MANGOD principle wasn't something new, anyway...Just reinvented.

@fauxlaw
The bible is what it has become.
Who knows if it is an accurate reinterpretation, transcription, translation of historical fact, folklore or fanciful hypothesis.
Constantine and his cadre of translators were 300 years too late.
So context is unachievable unless the Big Guy does a fly by and puts the record straight.
And I was simply pointing out that modern Christianity and Trinity are clearly of much later European production.

A man of ideological mystery, who describes himself as libertarian.
Save for Cats and Star Trek.
Nope, I'm not a flag man or enamoured of any divisive symbolism.
So China is keen to redraw maps. ..Not much Putin can do about that.
And with a 14000 mile border to defend and not many true friends, save for a few Orthodox Slavs and perhaps a current North Korean boyfriend.
(Not even sure that Lukashenko's love is as undying as it once was).
How do you predict Russia's future, moving on from it's current boggy position in Eastern Ukraine?
Indeed, moving on when?

@Shila
Trinity is a middle English word, derived from the Latin trinitas.
Nothing remotely Semitic or Hebrew about the word.
So clearly made up later by Europeans.
As was most of modern Christianity.

Hey, the ongoing Russo-Soviet autocratic record for mass ethnic extermination, beats Hitler hands down.
So does it's total disregard for it's own cannon fodder and any internal dissent.

Ships are easily sunk, even with rudimentary ordinance.
As the Ukrainians proved.
A direct hit on a munitions and fuel laden ship is likely to end in total disaster.

Well, intelligence is as intelligence does.
And the current human ability to exponentially evolve matter into alternative data management systems, is a demonstrable testament to its intellectual capability.
So organic organisms took a while to get this far...But actually they only took as long as they did...Our retrospective impatience is inconsequential.
Though our current inability to comfortably exist beyond this planets protective shields, might suggest where the intellectual future lies.
Of course, intelligence might have no Greater universal significance...Which would imply, that neither does humanity.

Well I doubt that the relatives of the 27000000 dead Russians and the 407000 dead Americans laughed much either.

So, there a two ways to totally duck out of a skirmish with Mr Putin.
1. Let down all your allies of the past 75 years or so, and jump into bed with Mr Putin and kiss his arse.
2. Encourage the Ukrainians to take up the skirmish, but keep it at a safe distance, and get some rare earth thrown in for your troubles.

Colonies are such, that all parts make a working whole.
Ok...Perhaps we don't need so many parts...But that's a separate issue.
Nonetheless, without a hierarchy of both intellectual variety and physical ability, nothing would get done, and the system would not function.
