@illusory TRUTH RIGHT HERE!!!

@BartekD Welcome to the paranormal club, where if you have had a spiritual/paranormal problem and ask mainstream sources for help, most would turn you away. Yelp.com has professional mediums and psychics if you want to know more about this particular occurrence. Searching for a hypnotist could also be viable, as you said this event happened so long ago in your childhood that a hypnotist might be able to help you remember that event more clearly.

There was someone I hated for what that person did to one of my family members, but when I heard that that person's grandmother passed away violently in another country, I shut my mouth and kept quiet, because whether it's superstition or something to do with karma, I knew that something was at work that made that outcome come true, so from that point I made that rule of not being distasteful when someone dies. Maybe this is what was really triggering me here, and to see how people are inviting a negative karmic backlash like this, is concerning, in a forum that is spiritual, this should be obvious.

@Roy Fair enough, I mean he did say this forum has a left leaning bias, so I should have expected this level of respect, but I am still surprised people celebrate a person's passing, it's just distasteful, but maybe that's an internet norm or something. But hey! Continue, don't let me ruin your parade, and to other users who want to party. Just saying this may give the wrong impression of what Actualized.org is for newcomers, see this behavior, and either get rejected by it, or party with little consideration of the immorality of the acts.

@Thought Art I don't, or won't, know? Why is A.I created art valid, but not human created art? Personally, I clearly, see the artistry and taste in stealing an artist's work for my video thumbnails, way better than forging a painting, breaking into an art gallery, swapping the original for the fake, and auctioning that in the black market. So much easier, just worded prompt here and there, zero hassle.

@Aaron p 1. Unless the child specifically wants that gender identity and wants the hormonal treatment. The catch 22 here though, is that most children don't know enough nor are able to make their own decision for the path of their entire life, which then puts partial responsibility for the child's guardians to help them think through those decisions. 2. I would say abortion should be allowed if the mother's life is in danger, has been sexually assaulted and forced to be pregnant against her will, or too young to be carrying a baby. Also, I would say the first week to 1 month for the abortion, but past that and the fetus thing in question looks like a human baby. 3. I don't understand your question, do you mean to genocide all gender related mental disorders? 4. I speculate its social media induced, but there are other factors like dysfunctional relationships or family traumas and such, too many reasons why there's a suicide rate increase in these cases. 5. Context sensitive. For example, some tribal person who grew up in a tribe, in a third world country, migrating to the USA and doesn't know there are these bunch of pronouns, gets a pass for me. Do you mean legal punishment for not knowing a pronoun? Or do you mean public punishment and public humiliation?

What are your thoughts on this? Another Sam Harris vs Deepak Chopra essentially?

@zurew Easy argument to make. I use dictionaries, thesauruses and Rhyming dictionaries to create my rap songs, when I exhaust most of my native language use in a free style. So, dictionaries, physical and internet, are useful because I sometimes run out of words to use in my song. Another example, a person is not native English speaker, therefore the English dictionary is useful as a learning tool and a way to check for spelling errors. Almost every successful civilization has some form of cataloging system they created, other than a dictionary, and the utility is hard to deny.

@Thought Art Yes, they become super leeching humans, obfuscating the majority of the hard work that comes with being an artist. Not saying that all the minutiae should be consciously inputted and outputted by a human mind, I'm specifically saying that we should be extremely careful with outsourcing our drawing and artistic abilities to A.I. programs and call that lazy approach art and justified because art is subjective. It's the same BS when a YouTube React justifies their theft and leeching of other YouTube Content they are reacting to. I agree, but not the humans that leech.

If it isn't obvious, I am for regulation of technology, the internet and against many forms of misuse of all the technologies, including A.I. and how A.I. programs are slowly to quickly taking over human jobs. We still are increasing human population while we have A.I. related social problems.

@Thought Art Okay. Consider the A.I. program evolves fast enough to obfuscate your ability to construct visions, and to receive higher forms of intelligence, wisdom and worldly purpose. See how your lower self would rather use A.I. programs to do almost everything in your life, and how much boring and lazy it would make you feel in the end. Does it bother you a bit?

@Girzo Then you ultimately are not passionate about the work you are doing or are obfuscating my proposed scenario or misunderstood my point intentionally. For someone who is extremely passionate about making stories and the writing process, for example, the last thing the person wants is something stealing their purpose away from them, stealing away their ability to create stories or take away the process of the writing, regardless of if it ultimately makes life easier for them. Another is people into fighting and martial arts, they will not stand for robots taking away what they are really passionate about. Same with music makers, same with other fields, provided that the field is their strongest point of passion. There are those with a higher standard for work ethic and purpose and would not tolerate too much use of the A.I. replacing what is really important. If you don't feel strongly compelled to defend your LP from being taken away, then it's not your LP.

@DrugsBunny Savor the brain freeze.

@Aaron p First of all, I'm a moderate conservative, so my takes are coming from that angle. JP, BS are good debaters in their respective positions, but I actually consider Destiny to be far superior in debating and arguing positions and executing many techniques that frame opponents in a bad light and have solid rhetoric and optics. There are many more far skilled debaters out there. Because of my exposure to Actualized.org material, and my development in value system, cognition, morality, personality, state of being, life experiences and other areas of development I can see JP's and BS's strengths and weaknesses and properly contextualize which of their talents are better here or there. Libertarianism, unfortunately, from my view, works only if you have a small government, that you and your group own, and enforce actively through might, which makes your ruling an authoritarian government, or a Authoritarian Regime hybrid. You're better off either being a progressive, or democrat, or Republican, or Conservative or a centrist. Even better, find out what policies you want for yourself and your community and stick to them.

@zurew No, the A.I. program is. @Thought Art Please, no. You should be complimenting the A.I. program for the artwork.

@Girzo He was more focused on the practical costs of letting the A.I. do most of the artwork for you, rather than any metaphysical, epistemic or philosophical views of A.I. art. Just Imagine an A.I programs taking over your job and career, how would you feel and think? How would you survive going forward, after sinking in several years of training for that specific role?

@Razard86 Nothing really to strange about his take. It's the traditionalist/conservative side of JP that's coming out a bit here. No big deal, people's opinions are, at the end of the day, irrelevant, just as much as the opinions of socialists, progressives, lib-dems' takes on the passing of the Queen, irrelevant. This doesn't nullify the psychological values he provides in his field though, it's still that JP has questionable political takes.

Does anyone see how absurd it is to make fun of people, especially when the death is too recent?

?

@illusory My personal take, I absolutely agree! It's my value and standards, but you should never call yourself an artist if you haven't actually created the image in the first place. I really hate when people do that, take another artist's image and call it their own under other forms of legal conditions, when technically that art never was created by the person, but was taken and put on videos, websites or other by the person. That's the other feeling I get when I see A.I. doing the drawings instead of you, it's sacrilege to obfuscate your drawing talent to a robot! Whoever disagrees with this strongly, is a leech and a thief and has low standards for being an artist. That said, if anyone still wishes to use A.I. programs for art, I suggest when you feel writer's or creative block, and feeling strongly negative, generate an image, and draw from observation of that image into something else. That's acceptable.

@Arcangelo Plus this one. Is this considered good mod behavior? ? Well, at least with this thread and this situation, we know which stands on which side of the fence, and which is more humane.

@Tahuti A fine example of double standards. A better one would be to talk about the Indus valley civilisation , or the Aztec civilisation instead of Egypt, but I guess you onow what you know at the time.

@Vrubel Agreed, if any of you feel so strongly, go make a separate thread and talk about it, maybe let a week pass to do so. It's just immoral to react like angsty children and froth at the mouth with left progressive and socialistic takes like in this thread when someone with symbolic power in a culture dies. It just doesn't look good at all, and further alienates people from seriously considering leaning left a bit.

@Tudo The Monarchy stuff is what makes the UK more unique than in the USA, even though they're not really the central power of the country. No way is it gonna dissolve anytime soon.

@MarkKol ?
