Arena Magazine Ginevra Lily Davis argues creating superintelligence could fulfill humanity's search for the meaning of life: "The argument is essentially that pretty much every religious tradition throughout human history has had this fundamental structure of connecting ordinary human life to some kind of ultimate cosmic purpose that is...

Elon Musk, 13 years ago: Humanity needs inspiring things like going to the moon. “Landing on the moon is regarded as one of the greatest achievements of humanity, arguably of life itself. Even though only a handful of people went to the moon, vicariously we all went there. And it was just one of those really inspiring things that I think made everyone glad to be human. There's bad things humanity does, and they're good things. This is one of the good things. I do think it's important that we have these inspiring things that make you glad to get up in the morning and glad to be a member of the human race.” Atlantic Meets the Pacific Conference, October 17, 2011

ELON MUSK: "I think there's good things in all religions that are good principles, that you can sort of read any religious text and say, Okay, this is a good principle. This is going to lead to a better society. In Christianity, have empathy for fellow human beings, is a good one, I think, for good society, just consider the feelings of others and treat other people as you would like to be treated."

Elon Musk about the meaning of life and the trap of wishful thinking : “When I was a kid, I was wondering what's the meaning of life? Like, why are we here? What's it all about? And I came to the conclusion that what really matters is trying to understand the right questions to ask. And the more that we can increase the scope and scale of human consciousness, the better we are able to ask these questions. And so I think that there are certain things that are necessary to ensure that the future is good. One of the biggest mistakes people generally make, and I'm guilty of it too, is wishful thinking. You know, like, you want something to be true even if it isn't true. And so you ignore the things that you ignore the real truth because of what you want to be true. This is a very difficult trap to avoid.”

I don't think people realize how massive President Trumps declassification of the UFO / UAP information is. If it's what's suspected, it will change the world and humanity as we know it forever. Listen to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna who leads the Congressional UAP task force on Joe Rogan's podcast from a few months ago. Not only is there strong evidence of "inter dimensional beings" but has significant religious and historical context. "Well, they call them interdimensional beings. I think that they can actually operate through the time spaces that we currently have" "I think that there's this historical aspect of, you know, this gets into the deeper theories and concepts of religion. And I think the history that we currently know, and that kind of spins off into another topic of, you know, you have the modern day Bible, you have this aspect of books of the Bible that have been removed that explain and kind of touch on these topics" Whether you believe in aliens or not. What is clear is that our Government knows something about our universe that we don't. Whether it's technology or aliens there is something there. They might not know what it is either. One thing is for certain, this information belongs to all of humanity not hidden from a government. Hidden know more thanks to President Trump.

Elon Musk: “I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don’t think we’re going to have a choice. I think it’s going to be necessary There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better These are not things that I wish would happen - these are simply things that I think probably will happen If my assessment is correct, then we need to say, ‘What are we going to do about it?’ Universal basic income is going to be necessary The much harder challenge is how do people then have meaning? A lot of people derive their meaning from their employment If you’re not needed, if there’s not a need for your labor, what’s the meaning? Do you have meaning? Do you feel useless? That’s a much harder problem to deal with”

Timothy Alberino just warned Joe Rogan that we’re on the brink of apocalypse. But not the kind you think. He calls it a “post-human apocalypse.” Tech oligarchs are obsessed with “transhumanism.” “Technology is ascending.” “We’re declining.” “And I’m not in favor of that.” “I’m not a transhumanist.” “We poison our environment.” “We poison our bodies.” “But it’s clear to me that we … are degenerating.” “This is genetic degeneration.” “We have what’s called mutational load.” “Mutational load is all of the deleterious mutations … that happen in our genome.” “They compile, and it becomes this genetic burden.” “You can’t just have a good diet and regain the capabilities that were lost.” “The human species is essentially becoming reproductively inviable.” “The sperm count of males in the West is declining precipitously.” “As is our fitness.” “We’re going to need a technological intervention like artificial wombs.” “The result of this is going to be what I describe as post-human apocalypse.” “If you come from a biblical paradigm like I do, the first man, Adam … has all of the incredible capabilities that are innate.” “He keeps communing with his maker.” “He can do all of these amazing things.” “Then as we become copies of copies of copies of copies of copies of Adam all the way down, we’re gradually losing these abilities.” “But I think that some of them are still latent in the human species.” “And I think that explains remote viewing and telepathy and things like that.” Timothy Alberino Joe Rogan

It’s a Wonderful Life is one of those films that introduced me to cinema. I’ll never forget watching this in first grade right before Christmas Break. I think the power of this film is its ultimate message, which is that every life carries meaning, regardless of who you are.

Elon Musk Elon Musk on the propaganda that the Earth is overpopulated: “First of all, I'd change the education system so that people stop being taught that we're overpopulated. This is completely false. The Earth can absolutely sustain this population; we could double or triple the population. There's a professor I was talking to at Oxford, his math says we could 10x the population without destroying the Amazon rainforest or anything terrible. So I think we should expand the human population and increase the scope and scale of consciousness so we can better understand the nature of this universe, this wonderful universe, and all the amazing things that exist. So that's one of the things I'd like, we need to stop the false propaganda that the Earth is overpopulated. I think we need to, especially with the education of women and men, is we need to stop scaring women that having a kid destroys their life. This is false. We terrify girls into saying that if you get pregnant, your life's over. This is what schools teach. And I agree, we should not have teenage pregnancies, but actually having a child is one of the most delightful, happiness-inducing things you could possibly do.”

Elon Musk: Let's allocate 1% of our efforts to make life multiplanetary. I think it's worth it. "I do think that 99% of our effort should be focused on Earth, and really, 99.9% of our effort is focused on Earth. But I do think it's worth to say, let's take 1% and try to establish a self-sustaining city on Mars and make life multiplanetary. And I think there are a couple of good reasons for that. First of all, there's always the possibility that there could be some terrible thing that happens on Earth that we maybe don't anticipate. And if you look at the fossil record and the fact that there have been five major extinction events in the last 500 million years, and what happened to the dinosaurs? They used to be here. They're not around anymore. So, that's the defensive argument. And then, there's what I call the inspiration argument or the excitement. Building a city on Mars would just be this incredible adventure, that there be things in life that are exciting and inspiring, that when you wake up in the morning, you're like, yes, I'm glad to be alive. And I think having this great adventure would be like that." Interview with the Chinese Television, 2015

This is Michael Knowles calling Zionism a relatively new innovation that started out secular. “‘If you think that Israel has a right to exist, then you are a Zionist.’ But I don’t think that claim is exactly true…The traditional Christian perspective is that the New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old Testament, and the Church is the new Israel, the spiritual Israel, and so these kind of specific ethnic claims that come out of the Old Testament, they don’t really hold true…There is a kind of innovation that comes about in the 19th century focused on returning Jews specifically to the homeland…” Every time I think I start to have a grasp on the theological question of Israel, someone I respect and admire (like Michael) argues the opposite—and kind of effectively. I don’t think there is any one topic that currently confuses me more than this one, because people say literally opposite things—and all of them self-professed Christians.

David Adelman on Nikola Jokic 🃏🗣️ "He takes this very seriously and it's a craft for him." "But I think in life, if this is your sole purpose, you are a sad human being. When you leave here, you have to have other interests. You have to have a real life. And I think it makes you better when you come back here because you're refreshed. I think thats part of the human experience." "He's someone to look up to. To be this successful, this good for this long, historically good, and have that outlook on life in general is something that says a lot about him. And it's a good example for all of us."

Today is my 37th birthday. Yesterday I went to the US senate and spoke my truth - as a physician, as a woman, and a living being striving to act on the signals I am perceiving and the intuition I feel. If there is one thing I feel at this moment in my life at 37, it is that cultivating healthy bodies is of real importance as it is one of the ways that we honor this mysterious MIRACLE of life and nurture the material receiver through which we might be able to connect with spirit, with God. Our unhealthy bodies are a distraction and impediment to the bliss that we can experience right now in the simple recognition of our oneness with all things. Right now, many levers of society in our material world make being healthy extremely challenging for so many. There is mass suffering that needn’t be, because we are - I believe - distraction, confused, and lost, In the swirl of the cosmos, there is something happening in our little corner that feels like it glitching. Life is on assault. Our Earth, the Mother through which God allowed us to come into human form by assembling atoms from her into us, is being destroyed at our own hands, and so of course, so are we. We have broken the cycles of life, and so we are, or course, breaking. I don’t believe the answers to this are going to be strictly technological, because technology often seems to have the intent of outsmarting nature, with I don’t think is possible. I believe they need to be based in humility, care, and respect for our Mother. 🌎 We, together, can right all of this. I think we can do it rapidly. I think we NEED to do it rapidly. We can protect our earth, protect each other, and get back on track to pursue our highest calling in this precious moment in this lifetime. This is what I came to say to the US government yesterday. PROFOUNDLY grateful to the other speakers on the panel, Senator Ron Johnson , Robert F. Kennedy Jr , and Calley Means for leadership on this panel.

Elon Musk on why universal basic income is coming and also points another massive challenge: “I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don’t think we’re going to have a choice. I think it’s going to be necessary There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better These are not things that I wish would happen - these are simply things that I think probably will happen If my assessment is correct, then we need to say, ‘What are we going to do about it?’ Universal basic income is going to be necessary The much harder challenge is how do people then have meaning? A lot of people derive their meaning from their employment If you’re not needed, if there’s not a need for your labor, what’s the meaning? Do you have meaning? Do you feel useless? That’s a much harder problem to deal with”

I am a physicist and I'm profoundly opposed to any idea of non-physical explanations that contradict physics. So that's a no-no and really doesn't make sense. However, there are ways in which both emergent properties such as minds and life and so on have an effect. And as you said, also abstractions. Now the fact that the theory of good explanations led to the idea that abstractions are real things was slightly surprising to me. I wasn't expecting the link, at least wasn't expecting it to be so strong as it is. But the thing is, if you think about how to explain events, physical events like a footprint on the moon, how do you explain how that happened? Well, it happened because of human ideas, of science. And human ideas, you could say in this reductionist sense that as you rightly say is the prevailing mode of explanation and the prevailing idea is to look down on other modes of explanation, that those ideas are nothing more than configurations of atoms. So some physicists, some rocket scientists put their brain into certain configurations of atoms and those atoms then acted on other atoms which then ended up making a footprint on the moon. Now what that misses is the explanation of why certain configurations of atoms put footprints on the moon while others, the overwhelming majority of configurations that human brains, even human brains have been put into in history, do not have that effect. And it's because there's a certain type of information. And this information can't in my view be reduced to statements about atoms because if you think about what that information does, it is in brains but the same information then gets transferred into, let's say, sound waves in air and then it gets transferred into ink on paper and then it gets transferred into magnetic domains inside a computer which then control a machine that instantiates those ideas in bits of steel and silicon and so on and so on. There's an immense chain of instantiations of the same information. And it's only special kinds of information that have this property that they are preserved and instantiated in successive physical modes. So what is being transmitted, what is having the causal effect is not the atoms but the fact that the atoms instantiate certain kinds of information and not other kinds. So therefore it is the information that is having the causal effect. If a particular instantiation of that information were damaged, then processes would come along to fix it, whether or not they could fix the physical instantiation. For example, if the computer goes wrong, then we don't use the corrupted information. We go back and rescue the information from a different computer and we throw away the atoms that at one point instantiated it. So the information causes itself to remain in existence. Now I think there's no way out of that mode of explanation. And if explanation is going to be the fundamental thing about our criterion, for example, about what is or isn't real, then we have to say that information and this particular kind which we call knowledge is real and really does cause things.

And this information can't in my view be reduced to statements about atoms because if you think about what that information does, it is in brains but the same information then gets transferred into, let's say, sound waves in air and then it gets transferred into ink on paper and then it gets transferred into magnetic domains inside a computer which then control a machine that instantiates those ideas in bits of steel and silicon and so on and so on. There's an immense chain of instantiations of the same information. And it's only special kinds of information that have this property that they are preserved and instantiated in successive physical modes. So what is being transmitted, what is having the causal effect is not the atoms but the fact that the atoms instantiate certain kinds of information and not other kinds. So therefore it is the information that is having the causal effect. If a particular instantiation of that information were damaged, then processes would come along to fix it, whether or not they could fix the physical instantiation. For example, if the computer goes wrong, then we don't use the corrupted information. We go back and rescue the information from a different computer and we throw away the atoms that at one point instantiated it. So the information causes itself to remain in existence. Now I think there's no way out of that mode of explanation. And if explanation is going to be the fundamental thing about our criterion, for example, about what is or isn't real, then we have to say that information and this particular kind which we call knowledge is real and really does cause things.

Blanche to Hawley on mifepristone: "I share your concerns, as does this entire administration. As you know, we have the most pro-life president in history, and you are one of the most pro-life senators in this body. That is a good thing ... the FDA has a process ... we will protect the life of the unborn."
