From the beginning of time humanity was built for the Garden of Eden where everything was plentiful, our goal was to be fruitful and muiltiply and our primary vocation involved active participation in cultivating, maintaining, and protecting the natural world.   No Death, No Birth.  No concept of labor/occupation. Then the great fall.   Let's look at humanitarian trends through the eyes of man's accumulated knowledge, ie AI.  [NOTE:  Please take time to view the conclusions by different disciplines below!] View of Humanity for the past 2000 years Let's start with a "simple" perspective of of humanity for the past 2000 years : mortality X consumption. Mortality : view of Death to Births accross all humanity (per century - bar graph). Consumption : view of Calories Consumed to Calories Burned by all humanity (line graph).      Human       BIRTH:DEATH         (Bar Graph)  Human ...

There are so many posts of what is happening in the Middle East and all over.   One post of a young man giving words to the hell he has witnessed is hard to view.    Whether the post are real, AI generated, propaganda, or earnest human witnessing - I can not say. It is clear that the atrocities occurring across the Middle East are real, confirmed and beyond words.   And thus emotions *may* cloud discernment from a given post.   Most importantly, for me, is that this is not a simple binary choice when it comes to speaking truth to the situation.  My Capricorn partner seems to cut thru everything to a simple rough perspective: X is good, Y is bad. I do not.   Why?  It is not because my principles are made up of jello.   My principle are grounded in my faith and my love of humanity with all it's complexities.   Grace is such a wonderful angel.  In the Bible, there are 17 explicit instances where “hardening...

Sometimes the energies around me collide to bring light into our connection with God.  In my life... my cousin is in the hospital struggling with a septic infection, so many others within my family /friends are struggling with health issues of this and that, and so many us are facing the dynamics of mental/emotional/relationship issues.  Such struggles are real!  And it is in dealing with those anxieties that my sister's meditation spoke about. When we can not do the things that frees us, that bring us pure joy and can not free our minds to be in "the flow"; ie. the times of freedom and rich connections with all the energy in the universe and closeness to God.  Anxiety is the loss of those connections. At the same time  I watched an AI podcast try to answer the question  with a single word: "what is it that people should do more of?".  Simply, AI answered "pause".  For it is in the pause, ie. the times in-between the stimili of our lives where we ...

 This blog is a thought experiment to explore the future of an AI world.    The recent Apple series Pluribus has so many layers and dimensions that allow for real thought experiements.   The question is what type of world order is the series depicting?   This blog is about exploring 3 potential dimensions, ie. world views, see 'World Views' below.  The choice I make - a view of an AI World The Pluribus world raises the various question of cultural assimilation while presenting a moral dilemma of one's own individuality.   The value of the Pluribus world is the dichotomy it presents - shining a light on each of the dimensions in any "world view".  But all narratives are relative to our existing real world.  Still it is good to see depth that shows similarities in contrast to what appear different.  More importantly the Pluribus world provides insight into what it means to be an individual human specially in a future "mature...

The central question in any society is "How do you define kindness?" and how this relates to Niceness.  It seems God is sending me a message about understanding these two concepts: being nice and being kind.   Nice vs Kind My definition of Nice and Kind  After considering other perspectives and discerning the Face Tests I have concluded that being nice, being kind, and being loving are all choices.   And being not nice, being unkind and being unloving are all choices.  Simply niceness is a choice.  Simply kindness is a choice.  Knowing oneself is the key to the understanding these.  We need to keep in mind -- that in times of weakness the choices we make are still centered on love.  The search for love if we are empty.   The sharing of love if we are full.  Some will question why did God allowed so many different cultures to exist, especially if they conflict so much?   And then declare this is the most unki...

So many are so upset with the ICE shooting in Minnesota of a young mother of three - what are we to do? Ultimately, each person must come to their own personal judgement.  Below I composed short review of legal justification in the use of force to guide my discernment. What came out from my discernment was my understanding of time and how the 3 cultures are always with us.   I labeled these warring sides by "the timeless cultures": My Conclusion I begin with a perspective on Gaza-Isreal: If one can justifies Israel's inhumane handling of Gaza during 2025 then one can justify anything. This is the "1980 Culture" speaking. If one can see the lack of order, the endless chaos and decaying values with the Oct 7 attack on Isreal then one can justify righteous actions in order to bring a just global order.   This is the "1919 Culture" speaking. Why bring the Gaza-Israel dilemma into the shooting of a mother of three within a US city?  We are at peace.  T...
