Exactly.



Computers use artificial intelligence to learn or understand or deal with new and trying situations which the programmer(s) of the AI algorithms did not specifically write into the program.

Combine AI with quantum computing and ya got a real problem.

The Luddites start looking saner and saner. I haven't read the Unibomber's manifesto but I think he understood.

[Dachsie]

sophisticated computer programming is still computer programming.

"Computers use artificial intelligence to learn or understand or deal with new and trying situations which the programmer(s) of the AI algorithms did not specifically write into the program"

but the program was designed to recognize "new and trying situations" (aka "problems") and by so recognizing the sophisticated level of computer programming produces and inserts new computer programming code into the original program.

A computer program is designed by humans , and as human being Zach Vorhees might opine, the program's purpose can be judged using human value judgements -- good, bad, inappropriate etc.

A computer program does not learn or understand or decide to deal with trying situations as a human being can and does, and a computer program is not a sentient being with independent thought and free will.

Suggest you research quantum computing.

Although I excelled in math and rudimentary computer programming in school, over 40 years ago the Spirit moved me not to get involved with computers and computer programming and now I'm proud to be a Luddite.

I disagree. Reality itself is a computer program. God is and architect and creation is a program with established rules. The question really, is whether or not we are a derivative of another reality in which our program was written. It must certainly be so. This leads to the question of how many realities exist in which sub-prime realities have been written. Then one thinks: Hmmm.....there must be a primordial reality that existed before any other realities were coded.

So you see, we may exist inside a computer program that was written in another reality. That reality in turn, may be a program written within another reality. Like a hall of mirrors. Reality within reality. Perhaps what we know as existence is merely a computer simulation.

Any simulation, be it sophisticated enough, would be impossible to tell apart from reality. It is reality.

Well your understanding of "reality" explains a lot and certainly tells me what your worldview is.

I have a rudimentary understanding of reality and I believe I have this in common with most people. I do think that most of us are missing out on reality because we are stuck experiencing it through a veil of remembered experience that gets in our way of ‘being here now’.

what do you think? Do you not believe that God is an architect and created our reality?

We're definitely in a sim. The challenge is that we must wrest the Keys to the Kingdom from the wicked who now wield those Keys and who've convinced the masses that we're helpless. We've allowed them into that position by default.

This nonsense held by many of "I don't need to do ANYTHING (IOW I'm gonna stand down) because I'm *saved* and Geezus is gonna beam me up! So bring on the apocalypse!" (I've met brain dead Christian Zionists like this) God has no hands but ours.

I believe in God and therefore I believe in a moral universe. God gave we humans capabilities to seek and find truth and then to do something God-honoring with that truth.

Seek the grace of Godly discernment and avoid wrong and dangerous ideas and ways of thinking.


The epistle of Saint James, chapter 4, verse 8

"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners: and purify your hearts, ye double minded."

[Hitch]

I believe in God and a moral universe as well.

I also believe humanity is confused right now, not sure which way to go. We are not in a sim. It's important to remind yourself you are in a reality. Demons confuse men. Men these days lack testosterone (which is evil by the media), but testosterone helps keep a man's focus, and faith in God. Weak men fall to the agenda, and are easily influenced by the media. The media is lead by demons.

Now is the time to let God know you love him. Be strong.
