No, I don’t think so. It is intelligent but not conscious. But it « learns » from us, so makes sense. We learn from it. Having guardrails can help in the mutual development of human and AI cognition.

@Willy Phallicus I am not a revolutionary. I trust Robert Greene’s views on Machiavelli and his intentions behind his writings. You have a world view, but it’s bitter and not all encompassing. I’m aware of the brutality and corruption.

I disagree. We live in a world where integrity and values lead to stability, longevity and health in our systems. Just because a corrupt few are behaving this way doesn’t mean it’s natural or normal. Machiavelli did not write a book on world leadership but corrupt power stratégies. The book isn’t even intended for you to do those things but to be aware of them to protect yourself. All the good we have in our world is from acts of integrity in what is often a brutal, struggle for survival. There is good, and it only came from those willing to struggle for integrity. True strength today, and in the future will come from leaders acting in integrity toward our higher values, even if in that brutal decisions must be made. This need not be lowering of our standards toward what a corrupt few do. There are many challenges our leaders face which will include 2 bad best options. I am aware there are real survival concerns. But, its foolishness, lying, lack of integrity, killing, etc which is causing this. A public execution is not a "necessity". It’s unclear the motivation in its entirety. You have a particular world view. Which I can acknowledge, but I think there are plenty of world leaders (the majority) who do not behave in despicable ways solely for power.

I suspect people should continue to voice their views as it continues public discourse.

@Basman Thst girl who they failed to kill, her murder was done as a teen eh? And she was being raped by the guy. Now they fail to kill her. She’s gotten a shitty card. The firing squad for this guy is not in an of itself as controversial perhaps as the publicity of it.

I channel an Alien call “bull-shit-tar”.

@enchanted Ideally, a Muslim isn’t treating Mohammad in the same way they treat Jesus. There are many types of Christian schools of belief but many consider him God as a man. I think it’s so funny to see Christians on YouTube live teaching their crazy ideology. I saw this one guy recently calling everyone watching a heathen, that they worshipped a false image of God. Meanwhile he was saying God was a man from Nazareth… His own pet image. He was the real heathen. Mohammad is a real historical figure and prophet. He actually lead in government, law, and in war. Mohammads teaching on God are accurate. It’s likely he had authentic awakenings and a deep connection to God which influenced his life purpose and creations, governing, and teachings. If people think Muslims are underdeveloped now just imagine what they were like 2000ish years ago. The fact that Mohammad did what he did is extremely incredible. Yet, they aren’t required for your awakening. Learning about them, their teachings etc can speak to the heart and felt with personal growth and awakening of the heart. There is some value in these religions, parables, the heart of the teachings, and analyzing their corruptions etc. They ultimately to you are beliefs, stories, second hand knowledge. I have been reviewing this video of Leo’s…. Notice how different this video is from what is taught in these religions. Leo is teaching true spirituality, these religions are teaching mostly something else… forms of social constructs and collective stories. Not helping you to autonomously increase your consciousness.

Oddly enough there are accurate descriptions, though partial of God in Christian Texts. But then they introduce the trinity which is odd.

@Willy Phallicus Sure, but this is also human society. We should be mindful to let slide our values and integrity even in the face atrocities. Especially developed nations. What does it mean to be a world leader?

Public executions to me are so ancient and barbaric. The legal system should operate from above not below. And, making it public is strange. Is that something done with lethal injections in the US?

@Basman Yeah but that’s not how the US functions man, that’s like Iran.

I wanted to share a good piece of literature for understanding how myths around religions are spun is A Canticle for Lebowitz. I thought this would go nicely with Leo’s posts on Christianity. In this book all books and educated people were destroyed. Many years later a schematic and bunker is found. This is a major deal for the monks set with the task of preserving what little knowledge humanity has left. When this schematic is found it is a big deal for everyone in this order. However, soon many myths, stories and untruths begin to spread about what actually happened beyond what actually happened and was shared by the monk who found the schematic. This is an interesting book that may feed your contemplation on the origins and epistemic corruption within religions. It goes to show how important truth is, education is, epistemology is and how important is is to defend it. Yet, also how easily corrupted is almost like a fact of nature. This video explores some different themes than what I personally got from it. But, is a good introduction.

@Lyubov Being healthy, practicing Qigong and inner smile. Really finding her hot 🥵. God damn. Personally, I really have lots of sexual energy. I don’t need booze. It gets in the way. Not to say on a campfire night in a planting camp it doesn’t make for a vibe of the night.

Disgusting

Only my indoor shoes

Yes, because it allows more energy to be created

@Rafael Thundercat I’ve since rescinded my statements on that by the way. I was wrong. Leo is sharing my perspective on this matter.

Leo’s post on the Iranian school bombing reminded me of Dr. Marandi’s interviews her has done. His perspective on the evils of western media and leaders is telling. But, You have to decide for yourself.

I listened to an audiobook by John Foggorty the song writer for Creedence Clearwater Revival. The music he wrote and produced it some of my favourite. Listening to the book I learned how his label screwed him and basically destroy his whole life. Also, the members of his band were clearly devils! I feel so bad for him because of the beauty and joy he created. He deserved a much better life.

Here is an example of why I think I am more conscious than chimps/ apes. 🦧 https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dbx_B1HMUfP/?stkn=MWdsOWtpYTZzeGwz

@Emerald Do you think hierarchy can exist without being about power, better or worse, ego striving? For example a worm vs a pig? Sure they are both equally animals. But perhaps the genetics of the pig lets it access more of consciousness than a worm who only requires basic functions. A worm doesn’t even have eyes. What if a clear observation is made that some humans are more educated than others? Couldn’t they be more conscious too?
