On real friendship

Many people seem to confuse socializing for friendship. If you have one true friend in the whole world, you are blessed. I'm referring to a friend who can actually put off everything for you, not just saying that they will. Many can say things and make promises they could never fulfill. In fact, often one can do more for that person than the person who claims they will. Even Jesus said to walk an extra mile. He didn't say one had to walk any further. Perhaps, some romanticize relationships to higher expectations than even Jesus ever did. Jesus did say turn the other cheek, but he didn't say to continue turning it. In fact, he said one should own a sword and that two swords were enough. Huge messages when one thinks about it. Blessings to all!

Big problem

One of the biggest problems with our world is that almost everyone seems to think their personal worldview is the correct one.

With Relevance to the Second

Basically, the second amendment abolishes all else. It's not too complicated, we don't even need a Constitutional Convention.

Matthew 23 extract

They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of others, but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them.They do all their deeds to be seen by others....

I don’t worry much about politics

I don't worry much about politics. People get what they deserve. Unfortunately, most often they realize they didn't want what they thought they wanted until after they got it and can no longer get rid of it.

Does artificial intelligence (AI) have ancient origins?

I have nothing against artificial intelligence, but I know that natural intelligence has done great wonders for civilizations for millenniums. We probably wouldn't be here without natural intelligence, but I am sure many good arguments could be made to counter that idea. I don't want to get sidetracked, but AI also wouldn't exist if natural intelligence wouldn't have invented it. To be more accurate, the definition of artificial is something made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural. Artificial intelligence, however, is really nothing new.

Artificial intelligence or AI has existed since day one, most likely. As soon as humans began to interact with other humans, they very likely started imposing their thoughts on others. In fact, I am completely convinced that wives have been programming husbands ever since marriage was invented. Humans with agendas have been programming other humans for a long time. Religion and philosophy didn't just suddenly make their way unto a page overnight, and those ancient ideas of the past are still here today.

If we turn on a television today for an entire day, we will probably be bombarded with a lot of advertising. Many commercials are repeated over and over throughout the day. The foregoing concept is a marketing strategy. Some advertisers have gone as far as using subliminal messages to get one to purchase products. Regardless of the strategy, they manage to convince many, especially when it comes to food or restaurant advertising since eating is a basic need, and sooner or later humans will get hungry. I am done with this idea of marketing for now. I simply wanted to use it as a foundation. Now, let’s switch focus to philosophy.

Philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, etc. .... Philosophy has been part of academics going back thousands of years. Many philosophical ideas, however, are quite new, I can provide examples. In the mid nineteenth century, Karl Marx came up with theories that were critical of capitalism. Moreover, he made predictions that have been proven false with the simple growth and development of capitalism. Furthermore, communism has yet to be proven as a working theory or idea, although it does work well for leaders who wish to stay in power (basically, it's equality and poverty for all except for themselves, the elite leaders). The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 was a perfect example of the failure of communism, but for some reason communism is still promoted today, and even more aggressively than ever. But what does this have to do with AI, one might ask?

Engels and Marx published The Communist Manifesto back in 1848. What they theorized was in fact realized in Russia in 1917, but 74 years later the whole thing collapsed. That 1917 communist revolution caused the death of many since its very origin and until it collapsed. It would have never happened if humans didn't communicate the ideas and theories in an agenda to other humans, which eventually became manifested into the form government of a very large nation. During the Stalin era the death of millions because of a lie that was propagated earlier was witnessed. In fact, many millions died from famines in the early days of that revolution because of people who didn't know how to govern. But we don’t hear of things like the Holodomor much today because the same agenda that created that 1917 revolution is alive and well and many continue to cover-up all the flaws of that evil system. But what does this have to do with AI, one might ask?

Today many elites around the world are in power in various governments. These elites control information and media, including social media. Artificial Intelligence is a human creation. It can be used for the good of humanity, but it can also be used for other purposes such as for power and control. People are easily steered in the wrong direction, especially when they are bombarded with lies day and night from many and multiple sources. I will stop here and let you use your own natural intelligence to figure out the rest of the story. Take care everyone!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jesus clarity

I hope everyone is doing well. This post will be brief. It is based on some things I have been dwelling on recently. Mainly, some things Jesus is credited to saying in Scriptures that may seem contradictory. I don’t claim to understand what he meant fully, but I also do not think he did not make any sense. I am not going to provide entire verses; however, I will give the citation to allow all to verify. Anyhow, here we go.

Possibly Jesus said, “if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also” He also said, “walk a second mile if someone asks you to walk one.” Hence: he never said to walk three miles. See Matthew 5:39.

Supposedly, Jesus said “one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one.” Basically, one needs to have a sword and can’t afford to be without one. Obviously, he didn't seem to believe in not defending oneself. Consequently, this seems to contrast the cheek turning thing a bit, if things escalated perhaps. See Luke 22:36.

Lastly, Jesus said, “be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” I think this one is self-explanatory…don’t be fools, but also don’t be an arrogant a**hole. See Matthew 10:16.

In closing, I think all-around, Jesus was more about having balance. If we focus on one area of his teachings but neglect another, we get out of balance. Therefore, we should focus on all instead of one thing. Blessings!

Right vs Left and Vice-versa

It's interesting to hear many people today who seem to automatically know which side of the political spectrum they are on when questioned. They know they are on the left or the right, exclusively. My problem with this is that we don't really know who decides, decided, or is deciding where center is.... Even if it's something a few previously agreed upon, it doesn't mean they were 100% correct by any standard.

I've heard some call themselves right wing which I consider to be on the left. Also, on the other hand I've heard some say they're left leaning, whom I think lean more to the right. Sometimes it's very hard to tell. 

My closing for this is that whoever decided or is deciding where the center is seems to have sh*t for brains. So, don't automatically decide when it comes to these matters because most human beings are actually very similar; however, it is immensely convenient and beneficial for some (media, political parties, etc.) to keep most people separated and segregated.

I will stop here, but there's plenty more to be said about this subject. I've posted with relevance to this previously.

I have compassion for a twenty-year old

I have compassion for a 20 year old and a family, who have perhaps believed the lie.  They are the victims who believed and have believed the agenda that has been propogated and promoted for more than a 100 years, perhaps over 150 years, in this country. Sadly, it's too late for one 20 year old.

When one hears the same  story over and over from teachers,  professors, parents, social media sites that dont allow free speech,  mainstream media, elites,  and so on, one accepts it as truth. Sometimes there's very little opposing voice heard because the liars control information. This is specially true when those opposing voices have in the past also been corrupt for many years. I have a great deal of compassion for a 20 year old who was unaware, and believed a lie. We must have compassion.

I now do, however, have some major passive aggressive anger, which will be manifesting sooner than later. Hopefully, very soon.

Regardless, all the liars have blood on their hands. We who are grown are all responsible. Responsible for educating and bringing up children. This should be the number one priority.

Train children in the right way,
    and when old, they will not stray.

- Proverbs 22:6, NRSV


Down with the tyrant, and drain the swamp!

Court packing

Supreme Court packing isn't a new thing. Back in 1936, FDR was already attempting to do it as judicial reform, along with all his other Soviet style ideas and reforms. It seems that perhaps all those conspiracy theories about him may have been very true. After all, he didn't allow Trotsky to defect, and maybe the whole other Stalin thing was also true, as well.

Appearances are deceptive?

Contrary to popular belief, appearances are not deceptive. A criminal (such as a murder) usually looks as such. Cesare Lombroso who was founder of the school of positivist criminology would have agreed 100%.
