You assume Trump will uphold the Constitution
January 26, 2026 at 21:59
I'm not sure you understand what is happening. There are over 2 million undocumented immigrants in red state Texas. There are over 1.2 million undocum...

I'm not sure what you mean.
January 26, 2026 at 19:21
It's not about extending courtesies. It is recognizing the difference in structure and function
January 26, 2026 at 19:15
Besides contextual understanding, a human brain can generalize, create, and daydream...
January 26, 2026 at 14:07
good point. Consciousness arises only within an environmental loop
January 26, 2026 at 14:05
Well, no, human brains can do things AI can't, like change my mind about things. Learning in a human brain is contextual, something AI cannot yet do. ...

January 26, 2026 at 13:29
I wonder if you can clarify your position. You seem to asking about AI sentience, and suggesting its existence, based on human reaction to it. Human r...

You haven't given a reply to my post about Trump's fascism
January 25, 2026 at 20:14
Oh my dear innocent, this has nothing to do with immigration

I have had a disturbing thought - that the ones justifying the murder of Alex Pretti are the ones who would have marched people to the gas chambers.
January 25, 2026 at 19:45
You make no sense.
January 25, 2026 at 19:39
This is a very interesting observation.
January 25, 2026 at 19:38
Oh, is that why Alex Pretti got murdered? Trump would pardon them Spoken like a fascist
January 25, 2026 at 19:33
And create art
January 25, 2026 at 19:24
Protesting is as American as apple pie. Trump is a fascist, there can be no doubt. Let’s first differentiate between patrimonialism, which is a style ...
January 25, 2026 at 19:19
You present as clueless as Trump. It's about fascism
January 25, 2026 at 18:04
The citizens of the USA are hurting, they are hurting badly. They feel their country is lost. And what does Trump post this morning on his social medi...
January 25, 2026 at 17:14
Trump, Vance, Miller – these are corrupted people. Their thugs murder an innocent man, and their response is to dishonestly defame the one who was mur...
January 25, 2026 at 17:05
It was never about safety or immigration. The state-sanctioned terrorism that the Trump admin is raining down upon Minnesota is a pretext to taking ov...
January 25, 2026 at 12:48
This is a valid concern. Relying on generative-AI gives over core human activities to machines. The result is that those human skills atrophy. Generat...

Are you an American? I am so, so very sorry. Know that we up here in Canada are rooting for the good guys to prevail. I read an article today about ho...

A couple of years in to my teaching career, I learned the secret to never having discipline problems. Treat the students respectfully, as if they were...
January 24, 2026 at 20:50
Apparently the USA does. And so does my country, Canada. All of the countries on the list have repressive regimes.
January 23, 2026 at 22:09
Well, Putin and Netanyahu can't show up to join Trump's Peace Board because they would get arrested for war crimes. (The irony is over the top) I'm Ca...
January 23, 2026 at 21:35
As a retired teacher, I'm going to speak to this point. I think we learned with the Covid homeschooling that a computer cannot replace a living, breat...

Trump’s biggest con yet – “The Board of Peace” Give Trump $1 billion and you get zero say in any decisions. He is the chairman for life, with sole vet...

Observing patterns is not falling for anything. My interest is intellectual
January 23, 2026 at 13:51
Can you explain the apparent contradiction is these two statements. Who does Trump work for? None of this happens without Trump.
January 23, 2026 at 13:33
Well, where I come from, respect means something. It certainly means something to Trump. A couple of years ago, in an interview, Trump was asked what ...
January 23, 2026 at 12:19
Lol, and you use the DHS as your fact-checker? They, and the Trump administration, are known liars. This is like using the old line, “If you don’t bel...
January 23, 2026 at 03:40
You mean what I said about Trump not being respected? It is my considered opinion that leaders around the world recognize that Trump is to be handled,...

So, here is a quick list of commonalities between all human societies. We all evolved these capabilities, but took them in different directions! langu...

Do you not realize that the entire free world has absolutely no respect for him?
January 22, 2026 at 19:21
very good! (But I did not notice that we weren't getting on...) interesting! I'm going to find out more. I like this one - The Curupira, Currupira or ...
January 22, 2026 at 19:19
I apologize
January 22, 2026 at 00:20
Oh dear, sorry to hear if you have become jaded!
January 22, 2026 at 00:08
Just wondering - have you ever written any fiction - like a story?
January 21, 2026 at 23:15
My attraction to ancient mythologies lies in the fact that it connects me to the people who originally wrote the stories, and therefore connects me to...
January 21, 2026 at 13:38
Yeah, it is powerful. Your can hear the heartbeat in it, as you read it, in the fast pace, and then the last line stands alone, as if the heart has st...

You mean fiction? Fiction can contain a lot of truths
January 20, 2026 at 21:00
Years ago, I read a very good novel entitled Thomas Murphy. It’s about an aging NYC poet who was raised in Ireland (on Árainn Mhór or Inis Mór, the la...

Well said.
January 20, 2026 at 01:26
I was reading through some old notes that reminded me of this poem. The poet James McIntyre (1827-1906) earned the distinction of having his poetry in...

That's Ben Jonson? Here's another poem by him - On My First Daughter Here lies, to each her parents' ruth, Mary, the daughter of their youth; Yet all ...
January 20, 2026 at 01:18
Actually, I'm a woman :) I think there is a lot of truth in mythology - a lot to be revealed about human nature. For millennia - all we had was the or...

Oh yes, I knew Medb was mythological, but still think she reveals a lot about that society
