If they actually create AGI, yes. However, current AI is not that. I don't deny that AI could produce insight one day. I deny that LLMs can be that. AGI cannot be based on collection of human data. This is fundamentally wrong. You don't need to do any brainscans to know that AGI does not depend on collecting the world's data.

Happiness has little relation to smarts. Many smart people are deeply unhappy. And many stupid people are happy. Obviously animals don't need smarts to be happy. Happiness is easier when life is simple. Smarts make life very complicated.

Depends on where you live. In some places it is possible, in others it is not. You'd want to relocate to a place where it is possible. No, you won't die, but the chances of death increase. How much it increases depends on location.

Chappie?

Hey, ya'll, I need your help! I want to create a comprehensive list of video examples of prototypical stage Green thinking. This is not meant to humiliate or demonize stage Green. It's meant to be an educational tool for people learning about Spiral Dynamics. So towards that end, scour Youtube and find all the videos you can which exhibit stage Green thinking. Try to find videos which are short and sweet. The more diversity we can display here, the better. Try to find examples from various cultures: Europe, Middle East, Asia, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Africa, South America, etc. We will create a mega-thread like this for every stage in the Spiral, from Red to Turquoise. But here, let's just focus on Green. Each week I will start a new mega-thread topic for the next stage. Do not start a political debate in this thread! It is not our goal here to defend our personal political positions or to judge any stage, but simply to compile examples. Thanks for your help! I'm excited to see what kind of juicy stuff you dig up. Try to be selective with your choices. This can turn into a really cool list.

That is wrong. Contemplate harder. I don't choose it. God is the only thing that exists. Garbage.

That is the problem. If you were conscious of GOD you would not be interested in eliminating that word, because it is perfect. When you don't understand the perfection of the word, that's what tells you you don't understand what GOD is. If the word was wrong, I wouldn't use it. I use it because it right, not because I want to. It is not a personal choice. I was a fucking atheist, don't forget. I had no love for the word.

@ZenSwift You can download and save entire webpages in their exact format for offline viewing. If a blog post is important to you, you can download the whole page or use some bookmarking system. And quotes are easy to download as images. That's why I made them images in the first place, so they could be downloaded and shared.

@Terell Kirby Religion is corrupt and stupid in many ways, however, the reason for its existence is not corruption and stupidity. Religion has a genuine source, which the atheist is ignorant of.

@ZenSwift You can probably use AI to do that for you.

That is just how that font looks. I might convert the quotes to HTML instead of image.

The only criterion is consciousness. I don't set it.

I mostly like sans fonts, but for quotes serif is especially suited.

That is a shakey assumption.

Hence Buddha is suss.

None of my fonts are Times. But they are serif.

Actually they have. But that is okay because truth is not the only thing that matters. Feelings matter too. The truth is that you care more about your feelings than truth.

Listen to yourself please. This is not something to be proud of. I find your guys' lack of empathy disturbing.

Since I heard him deny that God exists. Kind of a big deal for a spiritual teacher to deny that. You are acting like I nitpicked him on some triviality.

Dude, the girl mind is designed to comfort feelings, not to speak truth. That's what a good mother does. Stop expecting girls to be bearers of deep truth. They are bearers of feeling and love. Telling a fat girl that she is beauitful has its place. If you were a fat girl you would feel better.

Mexicans ARE aliens in the MAGA mind. That's how the conservative mind works. It is xenophobic. To a MAGA there is little distinction between a Mexican and a Xenomorph

The forum font does not need changing. It is very readable and clean.

You are.

Hate? It isn't hate. Envy, sure. Girls aren't judging each other as harshly as men judge girls appearance. As a man, you too are envious of handsome guys who get lots of girls.
