But I like that innuendo and suggestion, and I don't like in-your-face anything. And I don't like being yelled at. When I was dealing with teenagers, ...

My daughter is a member of a LGBTQ group that does shows almost weekly. She lives to perform in the shows as a singer and travels to the cities from L...

I have a problem with believing God is a being with a personality, likes, and dislikes, just like a real person. For sure, this is a humanized god, bu...

Oh, but it is a long-standing American myth. I think especially the 1950-1960 cowboy TV shows and the John Wayne portrayal of a man fed into the myth....

I think that is an example of poor emotional intelligence. We might be at the beginning of a new shift where emotional intelligence increases to right...

Some days my brain works better than other days. This morning I understand the reason I have trouble understanding what you said is I don't know enoug...

I have a dear, younger friend who earns the big bucks in high-tech research. The teamwork you speak of is essential to her job. I so wish America woul...

Okay, and should we subject our children to that? When we had sensorship, we could tell the stories but make the show less sensational. Have you seen ...

I have at least two reactions to what you said. The first one comes from having social studies classes in college, and the impression that once someth...

I just read reality check on my fantasy of pioneer women having the internet, and maybe back in the day, survival needs made parenting easier. He sure...

:lol: You really messed up my fantasy with your reality check.

Interesting. What must go with a liberal education to manifest liberty? I came across the notion that those who want liberty have the least freedom be...

Old age is a double-edged sword. My brain isn't doing some things so well, but it is doing other things much better. What I like best is that I totall...

I am the one fighting to make it okay to use AI. Insisting people have liberal educations is not being anti-technology. However, a high IQ and being a...

[ Something is wrong with humanity if that happens. My experience with AI this morning was not that impressive. How it answers a question depends on h...

I Googled, "Does TV influence teenagers" and AI gave a strong "yes, it does". I think we were much wiser in the past when we had censorship. I hope yo...

When my teenage daughter got in trouble with the law, she had to go into counseling and the counselor told her she learned better. She most certainly ...

Thank you so much for saying something interesting about education and learning. What you said justifies the Head Start program. I watched a cognitive...

This forum is much, much better than most. And like you, I am often overwhelmed by better-informed people. Curious, how people intent on thinking can ...

Oh please, AI does not have its own opinion because it does not have a personality. AI is a lot of information, and the machine can organize that info...

This is why I argue against education for technology. I think the world you want requires a liberal education. I have been alone with this argument fo...

An idiot using a medical book is no better than an idiot using a hammer, but we aren't going to ban medical books, are we? Something very frightening ...

Sometimes it is impossible for me to be good and do the right thing, because there is another right thing that trumps the first right thing. This morn...

What is AGI? About drastic change. We live on a finite planet, and we act as though there is an infinite supply of everything we need. But some folks ...

I believe you are speaking of social bonds. I am quite sure mass murderers do not have good social bonds. How many people are in your town? Does your ...

Do you prefer evolution to Creationism? The evidence I have seen on TV or read in books, and the college lectures I have learned from, say, the ape-li...

I love your post. :heart: I have a very old eugenics book, along with very old books about family values. The author of the eugenics book said people ...

You remind me of the history forum where everyone thinks the object is to prove the OP and following statements wrong. That could often be a very unpl...

This is so weird, I have enjoyed using AI so much and never realized a problem. For me, it is like checking with Mike. The guy who seems to know somet...

Thanks, that is how I see AI, but I think my brain is becoming dysfunctional and never using AI is not going to make things better. But like using a w...

I appreciate your down-to-earth explanation of potential problems. Now I am thinking this argument is like the gun argument. If someone gets shot it i...

That is a nice thing to say. I have a different perspective, but I am questioning myself and why I think it is important to argue the point. I will si...

I so want to respond to everything you said but I am exhausted and heading to bed. I am thrilled that you valued intellectual pursuits above material ...

But we must act on them. We can not continue with the racism that prevents social justice for all. We can not continue living in denial of global warm...

What I have done elsewhere is use AI to support what I have said. I want to make it clear, what I say is not a personal opinion but is factual. Occasi...

Okay, but how should we react to the danger? Several times in history, we have faced major changes. I am fixated on the cause and result of passing th...

I was responding to being told to ask AI. Now I am confused. You didn't mean for me to ask AI why I can't use AI? You said--

I am making a case for everyone who needs aids to achieve what they want to achieve. If this was not about everyone, I would not have started a thread...

Surely my pathetic efforts to behave like an intelligent person should prove my posts are made by a human. I do not see how quoting AI is worse than q...

Now that is an ethical issue isn't it? We keep our liberty by agreeing to obey the laws. That does not mean approving of the law. When we disagree wit...

I am old and have mental issues. Like many people my age, I often struggle to think of the word I want to say. I also use a walker. For me, telling me...

Sorry I do not understand your explanation. I am sure you know "one lone OP keeps posting on the front page", but I don't know what you are talking ab...

What an interesting statement. How does liberalism threaten us? Can a liberal such as myself have good moral judgment?

That was not our reality when my grandmother was a teacher, and the priority for education was good citizenship and helping each child discover his/he...

There is a lot of truth in what you say. I experienced that kind of disjunction as a gay man. I moved from small town/rural life, oriented around hete...

That could be an interesting thread. I am kind of shocked that we appear to disagree about the need to rethink everything. At what time in history did...

It would not be my guess, but the sciences that determine facts. Anthropology is one of the main sciences, and the study of DNA is another, and math p...

I am not sure what we need to know about the past, but I do think it is possible we are in the resurrection, and it is archaeology, geology, and relat...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijVijP-CDVI I do not just make up thoughts. What I think, is the result of learning. If you think my facts are wrong, ...

:lol: :rofl: That is hilarious. Just try to go against nature and see how well that works. It is really curious to me why anyone would think ignoring ...
