  1. The cause and effect is backwards here. Spielberg made this movie to surf off the energy created by public discourse about UFOs. He's chasing a trend to profit off it. If the public was talking about Big Foot, Spielberg would make a film about Big Foot called "Big Foot Day". Over the next 5 years you should expect to see many more Hollywood films chasing this UFO trend. Until people are sick of UFO movies. As UFOs become more socially acceptable, Hollywood grifters will monetize the trend.
  2. 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
  3. Einstein did not understand what i am teaching you.
  4. 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.
  5. Can Al Qaeda hack even a 90's PC? AL Qaeda should rename themselves to AI Qaeda. Increase their market cap by 10x overnight
  6. Religious indoctrination is against Forum Guidelines. This is not a place to spread ideology.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. That is wrong. Contemplate harder. I don't choose it. God is the only thing that exists. Garbage.
  11. 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.
  12. @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.
  13. @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.
  14. @ZenSwift You can probably use AI to do that for you.
  15. That is just how that font looks. I might convert the quotes to HTML instead of image.
  16. The only criterion is consciousness. I don't set it.
  17. I mostly like sans fonts, but for quotes serif is especially suited.
  18. That is a shakey assumption.
  19. Hence Buddha is suss.
  20. None of my fonts are Times. But they are serif.
  21. 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.
  22. Listen to yourself please. This is not something to be proud of. I find your guys' lack of empathy disturbing.
  23. 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.
