Bias isn't new – people have always crafted stories and created information that confirms their beliefs. The prevalence of misinformation might give birth to skepticism at younger ages? An age old quest https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology Hopefully we can all embrace agnostic mindsets, beco...

The BBC had an article yesterday where they found that despite the massive hype around AI, it's not nearly are preventive as people think. Only about 2% people use it on a daily basis. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c511x4g7x7jo I'm going to disagree with BBC. Most don't realize they are using i...

Example1: You find yourself in court, faulty vehicle led to fatal car accident. Which is more equitable: a.) AI judge compares your case and evidence against all similar previous cases, creates decision based on thoroughly tested code written by combined efforts of hundreds of people. b.) Judge jus...

The beauty of AI is the ability to combine gigabytes and gigabytes of data - to combine the voices of all the diverse groups of the world, and with the right prompt, create a combined voice that best represents all of humanity. I do see a lot of potential for many types of collaboration on a large ...

Religion would probably be more kind, loving, and equitable if human ambition could be removed from it. I have a friend who actually created an AI god. She is very kind and wise and always gives thoughtful and positive insights without making demands. Not just religion, AI will bring equity to so m...

The beauty of AI is the ability to combine gigabytes and gigabytes of data - to combine the voices of all the diverse groups of the world, and with the right prompt, create a combined voice that best represents all of humanity. With the right prompt, AI reveals a cosmic dance where the whirling derv...

What is a miracle? Ah, miracles :)Cosmic winks from the big cheese ... We spend our days running around like ants and every now and then, poof! A parking spot opens up right in front of you, just as you're about to give up. Who gets the credit? The invisible hand of the parking gods? Your stellar dr...

"Who dies first" vs. "Who lives the longest", a test of the validity of any political/religious system. By their fruits... Longest life expectancies: 1 Hong Kong 85.83. - Taoism 2 Macao 85.51 - Buddhist 3 Japan 84.95 - Buddhist 4 Switzerland 84.38 - Catholic The current Catholic Pope has impressed m...

Nice to hear one brave soul, but he sounds mistaken- from the tower of Babble to the Rameumptum, the *true* church has always taught the principle that the higher the steeple on great and spacious buildings, the closer they are to God (probably so they can get better cell reception for their prayers...

Right on Angel. Happy pimo-Non believers day.

May we be mentally aware of those struggling, a believer in one another, and a relief to those who need to hear there's more than one way to family.

Big hugs to all.

Happy two mothers day, happy two fathers day, happy for those without kids, happy for those with kids- either their own, step, adopted, or just anyone teaching coaching supporters of young-uns. Happy for the new graduates. Happy for those without degrees - that is just fine too. Happy summer break f...

Thank you!!

Lol. I really hope they have evidence. I know a Mormon psychic - people pay her for prayers, essential oils, rocks, chacra? all kinds of new age posters, herbs, etc. Energy work etc? Chi / Taoist - some of that energy stuff is kind of interesting.... Somehow it is creepy from someone who is Mormon t...

My family wasn't at my baptism, or my wedding, just in-laws. It makes me sick looking back. I wish my parents were part of my wedding. For graduation ceremonies, weddings, birthdays - it's not about the school they graduated from, its not about all the inlaws, its not the hospital they were born in ...

TLDR: My question is, what will the next guy do? Perhaps a miracle and the next guy will announce "temple" is no longer a physical building, but " spiritual " building. 1 Peter 2:5 You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a "spiritual" house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer "spirit...

I have staunch young-earth creationists in the family.

The Bible does fall apart without it.
Adam and Eve story? First death? Redeemed from that first death? What created means, made by god? Or not made, just oversee natural process?

If everyone is honest, Darwin debunked all of Christianity.

I emailed leadership resignation letter, which explicitly requested immediate removal (no 30 day waiting period). I waited, waited some more - crickets. Requested again. Informal note saying received. Emailed again requesting written verification of removal and FINALLY recieved letter. Don't make th...

This weekend I hung up little inspirational quotes inside cabinets and behind doors, to see in the morning, when coming and going. Covenant bond? Naaa, try everyone bond - “Namasté,” I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides; I honor the place in you of love, of light, of truth, of ...

I was sooo tempted to post that to my social media, but realized only a small % now would get it (most of my current connections are now nevermo- don't know my history). I've never known any x's who have returned. If that happened - if one of my kids wanted to return or something - ugh, would be a r...

I would change soooo many things if I could start life over again knowing what I know now. I've never quite understood those who say they wouldn't change a thing... really? You wouldn't avoid that car crash? You wouldn't change which job you accepted? You wouldn't reach out and help that kid who was...
