So, I take it that you accept the non-Christian argument, and you reject the Christian argument. And it seems that you deny the second premise, FTI2 — Arcane Sandwich

Can Santa Claus beat up Batman?
— T Clark

Nope, I think it's the other way around.
Batman can quite clearly whoop Santa Claus' ass. — Arcane Sandwich

Also none of this answers my questions.

So I guess you [@Gnomon] don’t understand it either. — Darkneos

I'm beginning to see why [process] philosophy never really took off. — Darkneos

Hegelian, something Nietzsche was not. The problem with 'Good and Evil' isn't only that it flips the valuation of world based 'Good and bad' on its head, and are thus world and life-denying, but also that it distorts them in the process... it moralises them. — ChatteringMonkey

AI will always need human intervention in their operations, development and continual existence in the real world. — Corvus

You'll know AGI is here when the exercise of creating tasks that are easy for regular humans but hard for AI becomes simply impossible. — François Chollet, author of ARC-AGI and scientist in Google's artificial intelligence unit

I have had my fun
If I never get well no more
I have had my fun
If I never get well no more
Whoa, my health is fadin'
Oh yes, I'm goin' down slow

How may this be established clearly and, is it fettered by the sentient aspects of human perception and thinking?. — Jack Cummins

ancient forms of sun worship and fertility rites of paganism — Jack Cummins

... dualism on a runaway train. How does a system not subject to natural laws become a source of those laws? Unmoved movers? Something from nothing? All you are [@Gnomon is] doing is complicating things unnecessarily. — Harry Hindu

James Lovelock, in his final writings spoke of the possiblity of a race of artificial intelligent beings and some remaining human beings overseeing the natural world. — Jack Cummins

Would it be a matter of humans 'worshipping' the artificial intelligent beings as the superior 'overlords'?

It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God – but to [build it]. — Arthur C. Clarke

Who[What] would be servant and master? — Jack Cummins

Man is something that shall be overcome. Man is a rope, tied between beast and [the singularity] — a rope over an abyss. What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end. — Friedrich Nietzsche

You know that what you eat
you are
But what is sweet now
turns so sour
We all know Obla-Di-Bla-Da
But can you show me
where you are? — George Harrison

For me, the point of philosophy is not answering questions, but becoming more self-aware - not the end goal but the journey. — T Clark

But the astro-physical evidence of a singular point-of-origin for space-time made our cosmos seem contingent upon some outside force. — Gnomon

Would it be possible to create Spinoza's form of substance itself in a system as opposed to in nature?

having to exist for eternity

Like I said, I think there are two arguments for affirmative action. One s reparation for past wrongs and the other is equal representation. The facetious counter argument of 'color blindness' is poignantly laid to rest by 180 Proof. — Tobias

virtual afterlife ... simulation of resurrected bodies — Jack Cummins

It is questionable but it is a possiblity. — Jack Cummins

I generally see artificial intelligence as problematic as being without reflective self. — Jack Cummins

I believe absolute fundamentality can only really be found in the void itself... — punos

I understand [fascism] to the extent that I see it as right wing populism. I don't see how it can be anything else. — Arcane Sandwich

Populists are politicians who appeal directly to the people when they should be consulting the political process, and who are prepared to set aside procedures and legal niceties when the tide of public opinion flows in their favor. Like Donald Trump, populists can win elections. Like Marine Le Pen in France and Geert Wilders in the Netherlands, they can disrupt the long-standing consensus of government. Or, like Nigel Farage and the Brexiteers in Britain, they can use the popular vote to overthrow all the expectations and predictions of the political class. But they have one thing in common, which is their preparedness to allow a voice to passions that are neither acknowledged nor mentioned in the course of normal politics. And for this reason, they are not democrats but demagogues — not politicians who guide and govern by appeal to arguments, but agitators who stir the unthinking feelings of the crowd. — Roger Scruton, 2017

IMHO racism is best fought by emphasizing commonality and common goals rather than repeatedly emphasizing difference and/or prior victimhood within groups. The approach should be more future-oriented. — BitconnectCarlos
