:roll: By "faith" I mean worship of supernatural mysteries e.g. "a god" (re: OP), not mere (un/warranted) trust in a usage or practice. Context matter...
Why do you assume there is any relation between "sentience" and "morality"? Does (e.g.) computating, protein folding, translating or regulating homeos...
Insofar as one reflectively reasons in order to critique and interpret norms (i.e. rules, criteria, methods, conventions, customs, givens), philosophy...
What question is not begged (is not fallaciously answered) by "a mystery"? None. How is anything explained by or justified with "a mystery"? They are ...
Guess #3: "The Big Bang" (i.e. planck-radius universe). So you think every entity, including mind, is mind-dependent? (Btw, Spinoza dissolved the MBP ...
I do not equate, or confuse, "awareness" with being "conscious" (e.g. blindsight¹). Also, I do not expect AGI, whether embodied or not, will be develo...
Explain what you mean by "moral truth". If not habit-forming (i.e. flourishing / languishing) responses to "moral facts"¹, then in what does "moral tr...
My point is that there is moral truth (i.e. either an agent prevents / reduces net harm to – dysfunction of – any agent or an agent fails to do so) an...
Fact: zionists are antisemites (re: Palestinians), ergo anti-zionists are anti-antisemities. However, antisemites (re: Jews), like rightwing evangelic...
:up: None of the lawyers who frequent these fora have claimed the Campaign Violation Cover-Up trial in NYC was a "kangaroo court" proceeding. (I'm sur...
I assume neither the first nor the last, only AGI's metacognitive "independence". The rest of your post, therefore, does not follow from my speculatio...
An excellent reminder that we must vote and struggle against the neofascist, jim crow candidate(s) whom grifted, confederate / insurrection flag-wavin...
I don't think we can "program" AGI so much as train it like we do children and adolescents, mostly, learning from stories and by example ( :yikes: ) ....

In other words, 'signs of the holy sacred divine ...' are just, at minimum, expressions of human ignorance. Lord forgive me but again I agree with the...
No. FWIW, from an old post ... ... or, in other words, "beauty" gives pleasure more memorably than not-beauty whereas "goodness" gives purpose less ar...
I think so. I often experience joy listening to music, reading, creating, orgasming, helping someone in non-trivial ways and from long vigor walks/hik...
"The One" is unbounded nature (or existence) and materialism is one way of talking about, or describing, nature that explicitly excludes "immaterial" ...
'Happiness', I think (ime), corresponds to freedom from fear and pain. Sometimes I'm happy; most of the time, however, I'm striving to be (briefly) ha...
There are compelling grounds to doubt "solipsism" (e.g. disembodiment, immaterialism, brain-in-vat, etc) which suffice for dismissing it. By your own ...
It seems "narratives and models" are "useful" in the broadest scope only, in fact, when they are approximately true. Maybe not but I can't think of an...
Well done. I especially appreciate the distinction between being 'materialistic' and being a 'materialist'. :up: As for 'the fundamental unity', Einst...
