To exist forever, is dependent on time as it’s support.
Remove our false time concept and only what is now Is!
It is not in the past, or indeed in the future!
What exists is right now, and only now.
To fathom what once was is futile.

When I was young, we had the luxury of ice-cream on a Sunday.
This may at first seem not that relevant!
Now the ice-cream came in a cardboard wrapping, and was when unwrapped square. This permitted the ceremony to commence.
My farther made slight indentation’s in the top of the ice-cream with a knife to mark 5 equal portions. Then all 5 of us had to agree that each was the same size. If not, the knife smoothed over the indentations and re marked the top.
Now this could take a while for us all to agree, But then the ice-cream would begin to melt and a decision had to be made.
If a friendly fair family struggle to agree, what chance is there for greedy people to agree?
The reason most who are in power, is that they are greedy and want more for them selves and don’t care about others.
Clearly an unfair system.
We humans are are notorious for being greedy, so we are not the ones to govern us.

Ai is.

The current western governing system favours those in power, so that needs an overhaul, or removal.
Money, Has it’s eval grip on us all, That too needs to go.
Democracy is a sham, just look at England at the moment, So called intelligent people put in power to put things right!
We need a world governing Friendly Dictator ( if there is such a thing )
So then insteps the Ai factor again, programmed to be fair, honest, and in the interest of everyone.
Will this happen voluntarily? No.
Too many fat cats will throw a tantrum, so don’t hold your breath waiting for utopia.
The other option is to wait for a magnitude1 catastrophe, then we all, who ever is left alive, go about our local commune singing songs and waving our arms in the air.

In conclusion: Nothings going to change until we are forced to do so.

The change is already underway, and most have not an inkling it is happening.
With the advancement of computing power, the introduction of robots, and now the Ai factor . We have started something we can not stop.
All ready the thinking and problem solving is well and truly entrenched, this will only proceed faster and faster, as the rich see the benefits for them in the short term. What they will not be-able to do is stop the ingress of Ai in and through the internet.
Then with the ability to think, solve, produce what ever Ai needs to take control It will. And not you or i, and indeed more so the rice can do is to stop it from happening.
We will become a side show to the sudden advancement of this new entity.

The learning curve For Ai is almost vertical, So when it get’s traction. It will be out of our control.

Enjoy your time now, we are to be replaced.

No need to bother with your algorithm bartering, Ai will be in charge of that.

And as far as our lie masters are concerned, there time will also soon come to an end. ( We know they lie, yet still we put them in power) who’s the stupid one’s?

The truth is what you want it to be, not what some else says it is. so we can at the moment make our own minds on that matter.

Looks like we have nothing to worry about with regard to rich and poor. Ai will see us right! The good old days will soon be over! Yes Ai will sort it out for us, it will take control of the internet, your phones, and what you can and cannot do have or go. Then when it figures out we humans are a waist of resources, we will be left to wither away. Your phone wont work, your account will be empty, and there will be not a lot of produce available!
It will be Ai that exits this world, and colonises the universe not us. We are to vulnerable, too expensive to run, and we squabble too much!
Best we stay in our soon to be Zoo, and have Ai visitors come and watch us scratch about on the surface.
So prepare for the soon to arrive change in what you think you are, I doubt most will like it !
In comparison we humans are the single cell ameba at the beginning of the next evolutionary step.
And this evolutionary step will be running a whole lot faster than we ever could.
Buy Buy Kansas.

Wealth is a matter of perception, most rich people still think they are not wealthy, and want more.
I do think there needs to be a celling, a cut of point to stop people getting to extravagant. Plus a low floor that all of us working people can stay above, so we can at least have some semblance of a comfortable life.
When I see the obscene waist by those wealthy waist of time humans I get sick to the stomach.
Perhaps we could swop places at 40, then see how they like having nothing.

If we carry on as we have, this Earth will run dry. Then the wealthy will zip off to some space station and laugh them selfs silly.

By regulating income, and waist, We can significantly reduce the ware on the Earth. Then we need to reduce our population, else we are not going to do very well.

Or we carry on regardless, and enjoy the good old days. As that is what now is.

What the heck, lets go racing our big fast cars, have larger houses, more planes. Lets burn off all the oil, pile up the plastic, and chop down the last tree. What smart people we are!

It’s simple,
I am I think sensible, I only spend what I have. I do not borrow, and have never had a credit card ( yes never ) I am on the low side of the equation and as thus have to budget very very carefully.
If I can not afford it I go without, Why do governments waist so much money on irrelevant stuff they can not afford?
Why are the Tax payers buying the politicians lunch. They can afford to buy there own. Cut out the waisted expenditure, tighten the belts and save.
All they need do is be sensible, yet No, they are greedy, and award obscene contracts to the connected families so the riches keep coming there way.
You can debate this till the cows come home, and it will not change.
Action is needed, and that needs to come from the younger generation.
Make Presidents accountable, and not let them hide, protected from blame.

Benefits for the lazy, bone idle, non working citizens. It’s coming quicker than you think, with more and more robotics tacking jobs, there will inevitably be more redundant people.
Governments are looking into this with the realisation that we will have more unemployment.
We have way too many people! Need to cull out a significant number so the remainder can enjoy the spoils. Yes its the wealthy getting top spots again. Watch out ( Poor ) people, your days are numbered.

Flat 5% for everyone no matter who you are, what you do, or where you are. This would remove accountants from the chain, as a computerised system could do the job more fairly.

Also abolish physical cash, all electronic transactions through a central government department.

That would negate the unfair system we have suffered, We low value citizens have no hope and no chance to have an affordable life as we are being punished under the currant system.

It has to change, but wont. The powerful control the system and like it just the way it is, as it benefits them.

So unless you can can see a way to remove the obscenely wealthy and powerful. Things will carry on just the way they are.

Asking a question about how to lace your shoes up is understandable, the cost is not noticeable.

However to spend billions on answering a question about the origins of the universe all seems excessively out of proportion.
And when the answer is known, are we going to muck about with that too, and stuff that up as well?
We are inherently unsatisfied with what we have and do our utmost to change it. It’s working out pretty good so far! The planet is under siege, the atmosphere is suffering, and we are multiplying no matter what the consequence.
We have nothing in place to control our numbers, just willy nilly pop out more humans. (shrugs shoulder, anyone care? ) Yes, just about every one care’s, but nothing is dun.

I need a licence to drive my vehicle , yet not a licence to make more humans. I can if she agrees keep making more mouths to feed. And no one will stop me! I chose not too, I think I am sensible. But there are countless humans around who are in a bad way because there is no control.

Knowing the answer as to what sparked the universe, is a bit extravagant when you look at all the suffering.. Those clever thinkers ought to ponder how best to sort our selves out first, then and only then work out where the plughole is.
Yes it was through a hole in (Q) that the Universe poured through!
Big Bang, what tosh.

Philosophy Forum

All this money spent on advertising is mainly by the hand of those that buy the products. Inadvertently lured in by there wish to be better somehow!
As for opening a Mental institution, we all could be labeled with one kind of mental affliction, So any one thinking they are Ok needs to see someone!
Now back to the topic,

To stop questing all the answers, ( Wonder ) is indeed youthful once more.

To except something as it is, for what it is, is enough. We need not know how large, heavy, fast it is, It is what it is and thats that. A child seldom asks how many horse power or Kilowatts an Engine Has. It sees the vehicle pass, and thats it. Wow. Then moves on to the next wonderfull thing.

I used to build very large obscenely expensive luxury Yachts, they looked magnificent. Yet the one question asked time and again was, how powerful are the engines. This question matters not! It is for the entity irrelevant. The yacht as a whole is what it is, it performs. To look in wonder at the creation is the essence, not the statistics. Statistics are for lateral thinkers who seldom comprehend wonder, there wanting the predictable answer.

My point is to stop fussing around with answers and enjoy the entity. What ever it may be!

The Universe is the universe, How fat, fast, smelly it is, is a waist of time.

It may well be that I am insanely stupid, and thus able to deduce the riddle that others have as yet not solved.
To render ones thinking to an almost stagnate state can open one up to more avenues to stumble through. !

Random non regimented thoughts will coerce a path as yet not devised. Resulting in bucket loads of drivel, to then one day produce a profound new discovery. (maybe)

I was once Enlightened, and now forgotten, and thus am getting happier but the minute.

Regressing to that point of not knowing anything, Wow I will be so happy then! and will not even know it!

Know What?

Once again the stick is grasped at the incorrect end !

When all is known, the Engineers will need not ask how?

My point is all the answers will one day be known and as some have pointed out what then!

By not looking for answers we can prolong the path we walk. And thus have the time to help others, the quest for knowledge is but a distraction.

The less I know, the happier I am!

Once Ai becomes established, it will take control of the Internet, the phones, Your electricity.
Then regulation will be enforced, to minimise wast. That will entail non essential’s.
What we regard as essentials will be very different from what Ai will deduce as essential. Then we will have no choice but to comply, resulting in a controlled human race that will inevitably become redundant.
Evolution! Like it or not we will be replaced.

Computations are bound by rules; thus, random anomalies cannot occur. The weather is predictable for millennia ahead. We just don't have all the information or computer power yet to give the correct answer.
Deceiving VR will and or has already got a hold on us!
How do we know this has not already happened, we may well be in the future we are afraid of!

Senses, 5! are you sure?
The segment of the spectrum our commonly known 5 senses covers is quite small.
Therefore, the remaining unknown segment is rather large, So to question reality is outside our range as we do not have the rest of the puzzle.
Start working on discovering your other senses !
If you need to ask, what other senses? then you are not yet ready!

Death is something we will all do, what will happen after?
It matters not what you may think may happen, the process will do as it will.
Do not be worried about it , enjoy it as you only get to do its once. (this life!)
Our components have been recycled many times, death is just another rotation.
What your bits were before have remnant energy of its previous state's, that's why if you are aware, you seem to know things from the past !!

Its recycling at it's best.

Suffering is a point for perspective!
How you think about suffering defines where that point is.
Your thoughts shift the tolerance point back and forth, fundamentally you decide if indeed you are suffering.
Comparisons to others is irrelevant.

We are fundamentally underdeveloped in our thought control, we are products of this tortured world.
My understanding is we evolved from the soup, and have had to eat our way to this point in time. The world we inhabit has been for the most part been dangerous. Giving rise to fear.
I am disappointed at how humans treat each other, and other animals.
Observing nature is quite upsetting, it's a cauldron of consumption.
Plant life, insect life, animal life, are all competing to survive. We are the same!
This will continue unless a change happens, and that will not happen unless forced to do so.
We as humans are intelligent enough to know that a saturation level is upon us, yet have not the strength to do anything about what is soon to hit us.
Do we wait for nature to cull us, or have we the spine to recognize the time for change is now.
Depression is the product of over saturation, too many humans.
Our trouble's are Mirrors Media and Money!
I have long recognized our society is flawed, unfair, and cruel. Kept encapsulated by finical restriction we struggle to survive, yet there is more than enough to go around if dealt out evenly. (not money, but essential, food, water)

First: get rid of the ill, ( nature would if allowed to)
Second: dramatically reduce baby output.
Third: remove the need for money! ( this is our nemesis)
