  1. "Cometh the hour, cometh the man" This may not be the hour and you don't seem to be the man; contempt is a one way street and Jesus would be a terrible traffic cop...
  2. My question is not so much the how, but the why ask here?
  3. WTF are you talking about? I get that you're, probably, trolling; but you've been on this site for a while now, so I assume that you can make sense. 🤞
  4. What makes you think that that's a good question?
  5. Indeed, but my point is, however pure the seeds for a new world, the old world is still in there... And the old world could kill a planet.
  6. For some it only takes a village, for others the world is never enough, we can only vet the first generation; after that who cares? "Because," said Lord Henry, passing beneath his nostrils the gilt trellis of an open vinaigrette box, "one can survive everything nowadays except that. Death and vulgarity are the only two facts in the nineteenth century that one cannot explain away." – Oscar Wilde
  7. But it's an interesting note and I can't help myself; How? Were it correct then consciousness is impossible to design, yet here we are chatting to a potential bot...
  8. Having walked a mile or two, in very similar shoes, the thesise fit's the story; ask me how, if you want, but I'm not responcible for your apocrypha. 🤒 For the lucky few, perhaps...
  9. The last time, the metaphor was water into wine; imagine that for a recovering alcoholic...
  10. I just hope that Nirvana/utopia could be true and a referendum is free to choose, but we all know one has to walk on water for the magic to happen...
  11. Please explain. Exactly, you see a design and whatever rationale you choose to ascribe its source, you can't say it wasn't wanted; all the evidence can show is, the design works.
  12. I'm not advocating for intelligent design, just that you can't say that there is evidence of no (intelligent) design. If there is no design, there are no patterns or natural features.
  13. No, it's not a matter of time, it's a matter of probability and there's a very bloody big chance (astronomical), that we'll never see it...
  14. It depends on, what's easiest to believe verses a potential loss of comfort; our mistake is, we fed that into a computer/accountant and forgot to include infrastructure in the equation... 😣
  15. However my point remains.
  16. Way to miss the point... 🙄
  17. My point is, evidence of no design would be a featureless baron universe... 😉
  18. It's also a good analogy of how AlphaGo Zero was designed.
  19. The most interesting thing about AI, in this context, is that instead of targeting ads to the customer, AI decided that it's best option is to persuade the customer to watch the ad's. But we still get to decide what to buy, even if it's always the same brand... 🤒
  20. Define head? For instance, a human head is the center of our intelligence, while a squid head is only, roughly, the center of it's body. As for the topic, humanoid alien's are a human concept/conceit; the chance that equivelent intelligent life is our doppelganger, is astronomically (pun intended) small...
  21. Some time's more word's lead to less understanding, unless your seriously suggesting that a rock has time to think about it??? 🙄 If that made sense, it would be on a bumper already... 🧐
  22. Which bit is tripping you up? The word's??? This is another double edged sword; for instance, in your culture it's easier to scoff at people your teacher's don't understand, than to investigate their claims. IOW, what Neitzche said... What word is tripping you up?
  23. Well, that makes gravity easier/harder to understand.
  24. Please correct me if I'm wrong but your theory/hypothesis is, the nature of our existence is subjective... A rock exists, it just doesn't think about it... 😉
