I want to laugh at this. Not because aliens aren't real, but because predicting when they will contact us is stupid. It makes little sense for aliens to contact us right in the middle of Trump administrations chaos and stupidity. Then again, is there ever a good time to contact us? LOL

Einstein did not understand what i am teaching you.

Let's get a thread going that showcases the deep intelligence of survival in nature. This helps people see the intelligence and sneakiness of survival in the human realm. Try to post examples not merely of survival, but the intelligent, deceptive, and sneaky nature of survival.

Only if it is socially acceptable. "With all the proof" is a very loaded notion. The point is my proof will not be socially acceptable and therefore denied. I gave a better explanation of Reality than all of physics. Does science regard me highly? No. And it never will, regardless of what proof is presented. Because it was never about the proof. Einstein's theory was relatively socially acceptable because it did not seriously subvert the scientfic, academic paradigm. He worked inside the system and the system was not significantly threatened. The only reason you even know about Einstein is social acceptability. You have not verified anything Einstein said. Einstein won the social acceptance game, so now we talk about him with high regard. Einstein's view of gravity could be deeply wrong, and you will never know it, because you just trust what society feels about it.

Can Al Qaeda hack even a 90's PC? AL Qaeda should rename themselves to AI Qaeda. Increase their market cap by 10x overnight

Religious indoctrination is against Forum Guidelines. This is not a place to spread ideology.

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.

Post your best police cam videos here. This YT channel is AMAZING!

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.
