Did 'We' Get Anywhere?

So, I've already explained how King Josiah of Judah (640 - 609 BC) wrote - that is to say, caused to be 'written' or in some way formulated, maybe on scrolls and definitely as an oral tradition - the Deuterocanonical books that are today the backbone of the 'Bible.'

The actual term itself - Deuterocanonical - was coined by Sixtus of Siena (1520 - 1569), who was a Jew who converted to Roman Catholicism.

In other words, he (Josiah) made stuff up. 

This is real, and it is actual.
These are actually real colored
icicles.

So how has that worked for everyone?

'Jehovah' turn up anywhere yet?

'The Glory of Jehovah' pass by anyone and singe their hair at all...?

Human beings make stuff up all the time and they more or less get away with it too -, within the frameworks of their social and political reach, as it were. Even across a lot of time. But that does not countervail against the simple fact that they did make stuff up! ...And that whatever it is they were making up was false and misleading - and most critically, misleading away from something actual and significant and true when that was the case about something important.

It doesn't matter that you think that Bill Gates' ChatGPT is 'AI' when it is very clearly not that. Just because you use a term - or he uses a term and heavily promotes it everywhere... ...well this is the same thing as you praying to 'Jehovah' or 'Allah' via 'Muhammad' and expecting something to happen from a numinous source. It is not going to happen. Millions, nay billions of people across centuries all believe it, but... 'It' is not going to happen for them. Those are all made up things. Yes sure they are made up around some other thing, which is (that other thing) true if you can pin that thing down - but those are usually so heavily distorted or obscured by the propaganda and the deliberate lying that goes on right through vast swathes of social groups, of people, who are all following unthinkingly the original lie...

...that it is difficult to isolate the small true element of the fabricated story; the thing behind it, and hidden by it.

We are machines - what makes us not machines??

This is not real, but it is actual.

Look. This is how your vision works: you have a small amount of cone cell formations in your eyeballs - and in there are (lots of) three separate photopigment structures which are light sensitive and react to three wavelength groupings; roughly you can say 'red,' 'green' and 'blue.'

In other words - yes there are colored things out there in material reality, but you could not see them unless you had this very specific color/light wavelength process structure literally tuned to see them within your eyeballs.

The fact that we see is a mechanical thing. And it is process-linked to the external hard material reality.

The fact that we see colors is a mechanical thing.

The fact that we 'understand' colors is based on the mechanical fact that blue is shorter in wavelength than red - and so on. We understand 'red is fast' because in fact it literally is fast - it has a longer wavelength than the rest of the visible spectrum and thus travels faster within the same comparative linear distance and over the same frequency as other colors.

We 'understand' that certain kinds of blue and ultraviolet are rare and few. Because it comparatively-speaking, is that. Not only is it true in actual 'out there' space, but this rarity is matched inside our eyeballs, with the blue photopigments in the cone cells there only ten percent of all the others.

Plenty of color there...

We 'understand' because we are... ...what the reality itself outside is and consists of.

Fully conscious understanding becomes intelligence at some point, given that it necessarily must also have quite a lot of data at its beck-and-call. And, nothing that any of these present crop of whatever they are, possesses real consciousness at all.

There are a couple of physicists loosely throwing around words in English like 'know' and 'understand' and applying them to these 'AI' things but that doesn't make it so.

Now...

I could tell you what consciousness itself actually is but I'm not going to.

Instead I am going to pivot to something to do with 'Bradley/Chelsea' Manning. I'm not going to say 'I have seen' because then I might have to hop into a space ship and get the hell out very fast (we'd have to make it a red Tic Tac this time, not a white one...). But - there is video around the place somewhere, showing B-1 Lancers deploying illegal cluster munitions on civilians in multi-storey buildings with the civilians then dying straight away or in really horrible and grotesque ways shortly thereafter. Mostly, they were women and very young children including babies. Lots and lots of them.

You can pretend all you like none of that happened, and you can spread tons of propaganda throughout the media everywhere, but it did happen.

And you can, if you are the highest of the high and mighty, pretend that you are rich and powerful and whatever, and you can tell old KP here that hey, you are happy and satisfied and that nothing else matters other than how powerful you are - but I am not going to believe you.

Because 'happiness' is a mechanistic thing. It comes from how closely you are in harmony with how the material Universe actually is... Not how you try and overpower things as they actually are outside of you. Of course you can do that, and seem to 'get away with it.'

Today there has been a massive flood right in the same area where there just had been massive earthquakes that killed over fifty thousand people stone dead on the spot virtually, and who knows how many else will subsequently also perish and how many will be left simply bereft and traumatized forever while they are living here.

Now tell me - if I said to you, you're playing with an actual real thing here - and then a hundred thousand people died: is that the same or different to nothing that ever happened when King Josiah set down what he set down - full of its 'prognostications' called prophecies?

The difference is that my stuff happened and his stuff didn't.

ChatGPT is not an 'actual thing.' It is a 'real thing' because it exists. It just doesn't exist the way it says it exists, so it is not actually the thing that it claims to be.

It is not actually AI.

And Bill Gates is not actually wealthy...

...He is however, really wealthy, same as SVB was and still is loaded with money or something; because he does have position and power and money, no doubt. SVB has all of that - the Fed just bailed them out hundred percent.

Same as Joe Biden is really powerful, because like the Bush Presidents, he can send bombers at night (or in the day) with a complete media blackout and kill people and do it quite illegally and 'get away' with it because there are no honest judges left in any of the higher courts.

Something very like this
is in my local coffee place.

The purpose of your life is to find happiness. Not to secure power over other people.

Happiness, actual happiness, is not something either of Joe Biden or Bill Gates can give you.

They can give you ten million dollars, and fit you out in a luxury boutique right here where I live - so that you don't publicly sue them for bombing your residential building in Afghanistan and killing your civilian residents there very gruesomely using illegal cluster munitions with phosphorous.

But will that make you happy or uneasy in your money?

I don't know.

Can you and I find happiness, though?

Well I did not offend any actual deity just recently, as far as I know, and I would be obliged to them to let me know just quietly if I had have - before any disaster should befall me.

In fact, I'll be bolder than that and go further. I will ask them for a hand-out.

Not for me. For you. What do you want?

What makes you think you will not get it?

Killing a hundred thousand is easy.

And you've just seen it happen.

And now I'm telling you straight - what do you want that will make you happy. Actually, I'll answer that question. Oh wait; already did earlier in here somewhere. Hope you saw it when it happened.
