    Mod+ Deceptive AI - Freedom and Dignity

    Greetings from Albuquerque NEW Mexico:) Yes, people immersed in more technological societies are definitely losing touch with immediate experience. I have been following Iain McGilchrist and am reading his monumental book, The Matter With Things. He shows how differently our left and right...

    Mod+ Deceptive AI - Freedom and Dignity

    Hello Open Mind. That Schwab clip is as creepy as all his other such public appearacnes. So far as what he and those around him say or believe, I think they are a bit crazy. I don't think they anything factual about brain data and uploading consciousness. And as you said, what is the point of...

    Mod+ Deceptive AI - Freedom and Dignity

    Hello Pachakuti. What you say about natural philosophy, Planck on consciousness, the inanity of AI conversations, all true. But most people will never know what is really going on. For them AI only needs to FEEL intelligent. This is already already apparent.

    Mod+ Deceptive AI - Freedom and Dignity

    I posted this on show 604 but I know it is preferred that we have convo in the forum. Hello Alex. I have not been here for a while and so have not been following your AI explorations. From this episode I have several comments, including about AI sentience. For one, the phrase "Artificial...

    David Ditchfield’s Near-Death Experience Turned Him Into an Artist and Composer |453|

    I think so too. It us also interesting from an extended consciousness perspective that eastern masters like Yogananda said they knew of Jesus in their greater awareness, and not as an imaginary but a real being. For me the reasons to doubt his existence are similar to materialists doubting that...

    David Ditchfield’s Near-Death Experience Turned Him Into an Artist and Composer |453|

    Very good interview. On the question of whether Jesus was a real historical person I would say that it is unlikely anyone or any number of people could have come up with such a character whose message focused on love and compassion at a place and time where that kind o radical fiction would be...

    Chris Knowles, The Descent Into Evil Thinking |450|

    Alex, we are on the same page, including that the light is always accessible with nothing out there able to stop us, its all within us.

    Chris Knowles, The Descent Into Evil Thinking |450|

    Remote viewing has not changed in respect to it's accuracy and reliability. Sometimes a session delivers vey useful information and sometimes not, so when the target/objective has to do with a mix of things that are known and not knowm the analyst first looks for information in a session that...

    Chris Knowles, The Descent Into Evil Thinking |450|

    Hi Alex, this was a very interesting interview with many topics discussed. As I was involved with remote viewing in the 90s and have of course followed it since then, I do have some observations. One is that in the intelligence community the various descriptions provided in remote viewing...

    Matthew Alper, Have Skeptics Lost Their Edge? |448|

    So Alex, I am thinking after listening to Matthew that the question is not whether it is worth having conversations with skeptics of the materialist reductionist variety, but rather is it worth having conversations with people who like to have the feeling that they already know the answers more...

    Grant Cameron, No Such Thing As Evil ET? |449|

    So many things were discussed it’s hard to know where to begin. Alex, I am pleased that you kept trying to get Grant to some point where he would recognize that there are some things that we can at least say are good. I don’t think anyone can get Grant to say there is such a thing as evil, but...

    Ed Opperman, Trump, Epstein, Why Beliefs Don’t Change |399|

    Eric, thanks for the discussion. I do think that we concoct reality, but maybe not so much at the level of perceived objects and the grossly observed world, where I think filtering is a better fit to the animal-level processes involved. But definitely once we enter the world of language...

    Ed Opperman, Trump, Epstein, Why Beliefs Don’t Change |399|

    Well Eric, nobody can say you are afraid to express what you think! The problem with "We should kill them wherever we find them without mercy. They will never change." is that the permit to this kind of hunting is self issued by combatants on all sides, and follows from similar atitudes on all...

    Ed Opperman, Trump, Epstein, Why Beliefs Don’t Change |399|

    (I have reposted the below response so that it is tied to Alex's original post at the top of this thread.) So this is my first post here, though I have been tuning in to the many great youtube conversations for a while. Nothing was too surprising to me regarding Trump, and on that subject I...
