Re: The Prophet and Apostles are out living their wives.
My great grandparents, and maternal grandparents died within weeks of one another. Those generations went through so much together, they were bonded to one another in life and death. Seeing older couples, Some are relieved when their spouse dies. Freedom from being a caretaker, freedom from being bo...

Re: Buckle up for AI "evidence"
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...

Re: Buckle up for AI "evidence"
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...

Re: Buckle up for AI "evidence"
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...

Re: Buckle up for AI "evidence"
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 ...

Re: Buckle up for AI "evidence"
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...

Re: What happens to the Honest Mormon?
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...

Re: How to respond to believing spouse?
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 ...

Re: Conspiracy Road Trip: Creationism
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 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).
