I don't think I've ever seen you take the correct stance on any topic on here. You're like 0 - 40k


Wow, really? That’s crazy. I guess I’m not prone to histrionics (it’s kind of a woman-like quality to be honest) so it’s remarkable that I’m 0-40k.

I also didn’t realize that you were such an arbiter of “correct stances”, particularly with respect to philosophical and theological subjects. But there’s you and the guy who is elite at his profession, all in the same thread. I’ll stick around for a bit just in the hopes that you two will rub off on me a little.

Does it matter?

I can speak intelligently about cybersecurity requirements in the EU, APAC, the midde east, and of course North America. And AI. And Privacy.

Mapping a single brain extrapolates out to a data center that spans 218,750 square miles, the size of California

It could matter. But wow, again, I’m impressed.

That's actually a famous Intelligent Design argument

The absurdity of men using something they can't even understand or fathom to assert there is no such thing as intelligent design

It boggles the mind to think that we have this incredibly intricate thing inside our skulls, a thing that makes even our most advanced technology pale in comparison, and it’s so advanced that even though we are essentially our brain, as in it’s our brain that makes us who we are, but yet we can’t begin to comprehend our own brain.

God. That's what I just read in your post. I cannot comprehend the vast greatness and awesome magnificence of The One who i believe is my Creator. Mind blowing vastness of superior being.

The hard-leaning rationalists lack amazement and bewilderment. Coincidentally, this is determined by how you (ie, brain / chemistry) are wired (or not).

There ain’t no randomness in our essence, as manifested in brain structure and its product awareness, cognitive physiology and ability to ascribe meaning — Good ole behavior, thinking and emotions that create life experience.

Don’t know if it is by God, gods, a horned bull statue, the sun, dark matter, other…or others.

I don’t know ism. But is not random ism.

You weekend assignment:
Read Simon & Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence lyrics. This part:

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

Good to hear!

But you would be my 1st experience breaking the mutual exclusivity.

Good on you.

I'm watching curling right now. I'm not reading shite during the weekend because my occupation is reading and writing.

But here's a test. I'm going to transmit via my telepathic powers, newly acquired, of course, a color.





What is the color?

Hey, turn the transmission down. It’s giving me LSD flashbacks!
