If you are a kid, or someone less than a whole lot of years of experience on this planet(!), then go to source texts and study them. Maybe there will be source texts mentioned here from time to time but actually go to those and read them yourself; you cannot rely on just reading commentaries. And this does not mean I am deliberately telling lies or making things up about various source materials, but it does mean that you should read the whole things as well yourself.
'Listen kid, you can't come in here...' LOL |
Why am I saying this (again)?
Because in case someone has 'expectations' and those expectations fail to be 'delivered' in reality to them actually, then in the first place the whole point of what I have been saying and why, was lost, misunderstood.
This message is the delivery.
Things are going to happen, in your life, on the world stage, throughout wider society and my aim is to prepare you for them.
We live in an extraordinarily sinister place, an extremely sinister world - of other people, their behavior and intentions, of rulers, or ideas and ideologies.
To underestimate any of this is a 'fatal mistake,' potentially fatal. And it will destroy your mind and your personal self in many ways, if you misjudge certain things as a mature adult.
'Moral imperative' - moral ethos and thus 'idea dominion' - is the contested space; not the actual material world itself.
As we come up upon realized 'AI' into our lives, we are being confronted, if however subtly, with moral relativism versus absolute moral prescription as defined by some, usually religious set of ideas.
'...Unless you go to Morty Sills, the tailor.' |
You may not realize this yet, may not have genuinely even perceived it, but everything in human life has two different representations existing alongside each other...
And you can even use a word, employ its generic meaning - and end up with widely differing results or consequences nevertheless.
Okay let's say, for example and for argument's sake, that you are a fundamentalist Christian or an Evangelical Christian or a 'Pentecostal' Christian or a 'any other style' of Christian - and you are suddenly told next week by NASA and the US government, 'oh well, yes it's true we have been contacted by ET aliens...'
Some of the interior of the Hagia Sophia. |
Michio Kaku will say 'no problem, just a statistical certainty come to visit us at last.' Dawkins will say 'ordinary evolution max'd out across the ambit of Cosmic Time and Space.' deGrasse Tyson will just laugh because he is plain nuts anyway.
...And you might go 'oh, I'd better hedge my bets and go - Jesus, if you are out there, I believe, okay?'
And then that will save you, right?
Here is a picture of something. And it is not 'the Blue Mosque.'
This square bit is the Blue Mosque. |
The Blue Mosque is a building Sultan Mehmet Ali built alongside the Hagia Sophia to rival the temple, and to exceed it, to demonstrate the supremacy of Islam - which it doesn't and by some distance too.
But that has not prevented you having been misled by the media and by everyone else as to what 'the Blue Mosque' actually is.
Soon, we simply must step away from all of this silly nonsense talk and go back to things like - the lunch scene from the original 'Wall Street' for which we are indebted to Tao-of-Jonz for reminding us about:
