Scriptures are scriptures and as such are not "fictitious".

Though I did not say that scriptures were fictitious.

I referred to them as mythical hypotheses based upon a common fantasy GOD theme.

B.S. was a reference to Stephen's comment.

Checking to see if any vehicles are coming before crossing the road.

Or.

If she had unprotected sex the night before and has no plans to start a family, then she should immediately do something about it. Rather than  mull it over for months.

N.B. Despite deadbeat dad, only deadbeat mum can do this. (Safely) Gin and knitting needles are not sensible.

True.

The Bible was designed by men, and contained mythicised accounts of people, places and a hypothetical GOD man.

So in that context, a hypothetical character could potentially everlast.

Depends upon whether or not we are able to escape this solar realm before the MIGHTY SUNGOD consumes us.

The old testament is essentially BS.

In so much as it is a mythical hypothesis based upon a common fantasy GOD theme.

Lovely day for a bike ride in sunny Mid Wales.

I hope that you have a good day in Bromsgrove.

Society becomes more and more expensive over time.

Society is just a human system that includes government.

It's  no use blaming governments for the society that we all create.

Anarchy will quickly replace one government with another,

Because that is how the social system works.

What is needed is a common sense approach to the issue of abortion.

Trouble is, humans are not commonly sensible.

There's always the quagmire of overthink to wade through.

 

Isn't all currency managed in that way now?

Fawkes and Fathers conformed to a religious principle.

I was looking at the U.S. political system in isolation.

Though for sure back in the day, religion and politics were inextricably entwined.

The third choice is to sit astride the fence with me.

As I'm sure many U.S. citizens do.

Remember though,

Sitting and facing one way is to turn ones back on something.

Do you think that Adeism and Atheism are the same?

Dissociative identity disorder.

AKA overthink.

Or.

Maybe it's something in the water.

All that we can say is,

Events occurred,

Events are occurring,

And events will occur.

In that respect,

Tao just states the obvious.

Which is not to say that I do not appreciate the Yin and Yang concept.

Nonetheless,

We can all remember and say,

This and that happened.

When one only really has two labels to choose from,

I would suggest that said labels will never match the mindset of 120 million individual data processing units.

How can the purchasing power of BTC remain unchanging, if the value of goods and services is always inflating?

Yep.

Crazy, organic structures with an amazing self programming onboard computer, composed of grey mush.

Allowing us to internally perceive simulated sensory images, sounds and experiences.

All aboard a tenuous speck of cosmic dust, being flung around a star, being flung around a galaxy, whizzing along a universe to who knows where.

Going on about melanin levels.

So, I'm a Brit.

Why would I sell my goods and services for BTC rather than Sterling, unless it had a relative value.

And if it did have a value relative to Sterling then why would BTC be preferential?

Yep, but you don't get it for nothing?

Well.

Things happen and time marches on.

Clever things and stupid things.

And yet mankind still thrives.

I'm suggesting that we might be programmed to always out-clever the stupid.

Therefore:

I'm also inferring that in the long run Slavery was  more clever than it was stupid.

And so was the American Civil War.

So how does one acquire Bitcoin?

It's only an AI robot if it cannot be switched off.

Why would an AI robot see value in back flipping?

Methinks that only people would see value in flipping robots.

As ever, humans cannot do, getting along nice and friendly with everyone.

One consequence of the clever stupid gene.

The main cause of the American Civil War was the human clever stupid gene.

One might suggest that the clever stupid gene was a deliberately implanted evolutionary tool.

So people lived, fought and died, and now the population of the USA is approximately 340 million.

See what I mean?

No such thing as an indigene anyway.

Just previous settlers.

Same as the Middle East.

Variously similar people milling about for millennia.

Just start the Nationhood clock wherever it takes your fancy.

And create accompanying cultural BS to suit.

Clever stupid gene.

Intelligence is as intelligence does.

Anyone born in North America is native.

So I'm guessing that said States already have a majority native population.

Injuns came from India, Cowboys came from Cowton and The Cavalry came from John Wayne Land.

So I can just pretend that I have Bitcoin and start emailing it around?

I get that.

How on Earth could you know that  GODs are not designed?

Nonetheless, within the very brief context of the past few thousand years and the even briefer context of our conditioned existences.

I know that we can do nothing, other than speculate about a beginning.

Though I accept your faith for what it is and what it has become.

Have an nice day Trade.

It's human daftness in all it's glory, that nword is the new nogger and bword is the new betch.

My friend has a nword Labrador bword.

How long before nword is just too much for the variably darker skin toned to bear?

It all depends upon who instigates propaganda successfully,

And for what reasons.

Well, grain is an essential commodity that can be sold, or turned into flour or beer.

Nonetheless, I'm just curious about the actual benefits of of a new brand of currency over the old ones.

Given that all currency has now largely become a part of an integrated-crypto system

For sure, some people will still have cash stashed under the mattress.

Tough I don't see old fashioned currency tokens lasting for much longer, given the ensuing development of the global data matrix.

Presumably their will be one standard value, whether that be referred to as Bitcoin, Dollar or Yuan.

Isn't Bitcoin currently just a bit of a novelty plaything for the techno-savvy?

Good tangent.

Well, when I talk of A.I. I'm looking ahead somewhat.

Though technological evolution is seemingly exponentially progressive.

I don't see anyway back from this, except a complete reversal of material evolution.

And I don't think it works like that.

BLM is just data zipping about in the matrix we have created.

To which we are electrochemically linked via our techno-interface devices.

And already for some this has become a dependency.

Once the device becomes implanted at birth, then it's game over in terms of individualism.

"Black" in this context, is a broad term relative to species development,  demographic separation and subsequent re-integration, all relative to intellectual development.

In particular, memory, the application of acquired and stored data, and the utilisation thereof.

Taking into account appreciable differences detected by sensory systems.

Melanin levels are variable.

Which amusingly leads to some "black" people displaying a lighter skin tone than some "white" people.

Sort of the swarthy middle ground.

Don't expect the species to evolve rapidly, in terms of physical and biological structure.

Though with the advent of technology and social media, we might see a more rapid change in social attitudes.

Not forgetting the clever/stupid gene of course, which will inevitably throw up a plethora of  glitches along the way.

Though by the time humanity as reached it's physiological zenith, I'm guessing that A.I. will be the new "White" and humanity will be the new "Black".

What do you think Moozer?

Well of course it might be a male book.

So what you fashioned would therefore have been a metaphorical anus.

Which might have benefitted from a lubricant.

Was there any foreplay?

Tongues for example..

Even though a theoretical proposition might actually be factually correct.

In terms of stand alone words and their  definitions, theory and fact are not synonymous.

So.

Bitcoin is more like stock?

Which I see you've valued in dollars.

For sure, GOD itself is a representative word.

So we could also say that GOD and NON-GOD are the same as design and non-design.

And also not achieve anything.

Hmmmmmm, hang on a mo.

When is an outcome not an achievement?

Yes.

I'm guessing that it's hormone related.

Been there, done that, I suppose.

E.I.A.

Endocrinal Inspired Anxiety.

Accounts for a lot of stuff.

Did you smear it with Vaseline first?

Well Trade, nice to hear from you again.

So:

I am as doubtful as you are doubtless.

And design is a word with quite a specific meaning. 

Whereby B was intentionally planned by A.

And for sure, I don't think that complexity of structure necessarily requires intentional planning by a designer.

Stalemate as ever.

Regards.

For sure, whereby the word belief gets introduced into the equation.

To wit, their are millions of people who bow to the idea that belief = fact.

As I see it:

Species developed from what?

Species were created from what?

Both questions ask the same thing.

Both evolved from something.

Just as knowledge and intellect evolved from potentially nothing,

Just as a supreme being must have too.

Yep.  

So....

Just another currency with an international value relative to other currencies, rather than a completely separate system?

Or...

 If I had 100 Sterling and bought X Bitcoin, I would therefore be wealthier?

Striving to disprove species evolution theory is like striving to disprove deistic creation theory.

Heads and brick walls come to mind.

Personally I see creation and consequent evolution to be reasonably compatible ideas.

Whereas, middle eastern fantasy folk tales are just a part of the greater process of material evolution.

And material evolution is clearly a fact, otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation.

I am British, but resigned to the fact that I am an Earthling.

I consider myself lucky to have been born British and consequently able to live in comparative peace and comfort for the past 64 years.

I'm grateful for what I have and don't blame others for what I cannot afford.

Am I proud?

Yep, I'm proud of my Dad for stepping up to the plate during WW2.

I also bet she wouldn't refer to you as "tiny".

Good question dat.

True dat.

Amazing stats.

10. Top most Orange U.S. President to hold a British Prime Ministers hand.

Do you think that this type of data manipulation/political-speak is unusual?

Despite peoples best efforts,

Or because of peoples best efforts,

Are we not outsmarting ourselves technologically?

Nonetheless, 

In terms of human species, is there one or more than one?

I'm not saying that ideological differences between sub-groups is not significant.

But in terms of "conquering" this little speck of cosmic dust we call Earth...Is this all that matters?

I look forward to it.
