    Is Kaku correct?

    Are you arguing that all the research spent in psychology and related fields is false? There is no beautiful sunset. For a modern machine there is never a reward, the reward is only in your mind, not the robot's. It's interesting that you think that way, it's more of a philosophical position...

    Is Kaku correct?

    There's no risk and reward there. Just a set of rules, an equation that the programmer has made. There is no learning or thinking. It's like an automated braker in your house, according to some condition set by manufacturer it shuts electricity. There's no reward or risk for the breaker. It...

    Socialist Democrats will not keep illegals in declared sanctuary citys. GOP passes ban in FLA.

    Socialist seems like fascist, politicians use it as an easy smear that means nothing.

    Is your mysticism apophatic or cataphatic?

    God's Kingdom, Baptism, stepping in the river all seem more like a poetic description of the experiences, metaphors for use that have taken on a different life.

    Drums, Dance, Trance

    If you want to maintain a state keep a constant steady beat and it's a good idea wear something over the eyes so you're not reacting to outside stimuli.

    Texas will end its botched voter citizenship review and rescind its list of flagged voters

    Naturalized citizen is a citizen that has gone through a procedure to get it. In some countries it's easy to get naturalized like in the US or most of Europe. In China it's close to impossible to become naturalized.

    Picture of Syrian kid

    The western powers and some oil-rich countries wanted Assad out and supported rebels that turned out to be brutal fanatics. If not for that support, it would have been over long ago.

    Positive feedback, like what? Sorry to say, but this robots with feelings sounds like complete woo to me. You can program to make it act like it had feelings and someone might get fooled if they didn't think too much about it.

    Is Kaku correct?

    Maybe you forgot, but you said this: Basic automation doesn't make something an AI. They're not evaluating "pros and cons", they're running parts of a program based on criteria set by a programmer. That automation never changes or develops beyond that. It's just like a mechanical clock, it...

    Picture of Syrian kid

    I just saw part of a documentary, masses of refugees are moving back to Syria now that it's becoming safer after defeat of terrorists. Hope the kid finds home soon!

    Where was God...

    The question is only about an eternal creator God?

    Are Christians Animistic?

    Yes, it's the same thing. Not a fan of organized religion personally, it tends to bring out the worst in people as a price and what do we get for it? Some unity and much division. Same extends to politics... It's all a journey, some people just want everyone to stay at one bus stop and don't...

    Why is divination considered a sin to Christians?

    There are many who consider themselves prophets and divine end times are near...

    Why religions even exist in the first place.

    Creative list, you can pick and choose. But the explanatory and predictive power can be weak.

    Is Kaku correct?

    You could argue that evolution is a series of bugs that became features. If you wanted to compare the two. And I don't believe we are created like programs by a creator god, that you might have implied in your reply to me, so it felt off. Not really, and real AIs don't either. If statements...

    Are Christians Animistic?

    Also in Europe...

    Is Kaku correct?

    The discussion is actually a lot more relevant and discussed in AI courses at uni level, unlike the creationists' ideas.

    Are Christians Animistic?

    What that person told you sounds like forced conversion to me.

    How small is the god who needs a human hit-man?

    I also have the same thought when I hear of these atrocities made in name of god. They diminish the name by what they do.

    Is Kaku correct?

    Don't know how you made the jump to a creator God from the programming of Civ 1 "AI" or why?
