How much do extremely wealthy people owe to the society that gave them the chance to prosper so much?

[bripat9643]

Why do you assume it will have good intentions?

Because I think humanity is good, and I think the mechanical God we build will be good too.

do you want to build a god or an AI?? you cant do both,,

Actually, that's what you're doing when you build a super AI.

when you build it its not a god,, you just think it is,,

It will have powers that make it indistinguishable from a God. It will have intelligence 10 million times what the entire human race has.

anything made by man can never be a god,,

Says who?

logic and reality,,,

What's logical about the gaseous invertebrate in the sky?

I know of no gaseous invertebrate in the sky,,,

Meant to say "vertebrate." The Jews call him Jaweh. Christians call him Jehovah.

and none of them thinks hes a gaseous vertebrate in the sky,,,,,,,,

Actually, some do.

What does it matter what they think? The fact is they believe in a gaseous vertebrate in the sky. So do you.

why are you changing the topic???

You're the one who changed it. All of a sudden it's about whether God exists.

no I didnt,, I just said that making AI doesnt ,make it a god,,,

you may want to think its a god but its just a computer program,,,

ROFL! Why do you claim it's not a god, because it can't do magic? How would you even tell if what it does is magic or not?

How do you determine whether some intelligence is a god?

you go right ahead and worship it the way you wish,,,, that is your right,,,

I don't worship anything.

ok,,,

AI still isnt a god,,

That would depend on God being real, wouldn't it?

NOPE,, the fact that god isnt real as we know it makes AI not a god because AI is real,,,

However, a number of physicists are working on alternate theories.

What they've been "teaching" us is false?

What do you mean "as we know it?" God is either real or he isn't. How would you know if you encounter a real god as opposed to an AI?

poor boy

I will never understand poor people that support the Republicans.

You might if you ever stooped to actually talking to them.

Poor people who support the Republican Party don’t realize all the things democrats do for them. I know two people on disability who voted for trump. Even when I told them he would make cuts to Medicaid. Or my neighbor who has $100,000 in student loan debt. She liked trumps anti immigrant position.

And don’t forget trump gave them a very small tax break so in their minds they are doing better under Trump.

IOW, they don't let money concerns drive every decision they make. Some people are like that, you know.

They don’t realize the gop is screwing them financially. Trickle down since the 80s has failed the middle class.

Poor republicans have been duped by social wedge issues. God, guns, gays and racism.

Obviously they value freedom over cash handouts. Here's a clue. If democrats wouldn't try to compel conformity of thought, their Santa Claus act might actually catch on with more people.

It’s true what you say. Rednecks in the backwoods of Kentucky have no dental or healthcare. But they are free and happy. Love their guns, Christianity, hate gays blacks mexicans and Muslims. The Republican Party doesn’t have to benefit them financially. Democratic policies benefit them and yet they still vote republican.

Wow, listen to you all confident and stuff that you know what people think. You need to actually meet some real people for a change instead of the cartoons you see on your favorite hate sites.

then take them away and let them live by their own means,,, teach them a lesson,,

Thing is, most of them already do and have flourished quite nicely for generations without democrats "helping" them. Drop a redneck and a liberal tofu farting city dwelling democrat off in the jungle and see who walks out.

 

[Anomalism]

Probably neither of them.

Rednecks come standard with the ability to survive in the jungle?

 

[dblack]

You do get that it's really not for you to decide what should and shouldn't happen with other people's money or healthcare, right? God save me from people who are convinced that they "care" more about my life issues than I do, and know better how I should live my life than I do, so they're going to take over and mandate their preferences to me.

You, of course, are welcome to provide yourself with healthcare any way you would like. Knock yourself out. But please do not try to include me in it.

I think you're just being stubborn. Universal healthcare is inevitable.

yeah, yeah. Just like the "dictatorship of the proletariat".

Stow the soothsaying. Outside of death, very little is inevitable.

Have you ever met real rednecks, or is your education about them limited to the movie "Deliverance"? See, this is the difference between watching shows ABOUT someone or something, and experiencing them in real life. When watching shows, you're absorbing the story the producers are trying to convey. When you experience it yourself, you don't get someone else's filter. Try it sometime.

Very few people could survive for long on their own in the jungle, especially if they're lost and stressed. You people are so full of shit.

you do realize there are thousands if not millions of people that live in the jungle???

when you grow up you will learn these simple things

Living near or in a jungle you know with other people, supplies and relative safety is a lot different than being dropped off in a jungle you don't know without food, supplies or safety. There are isolated tribes surviving in the Amazon, but those people do that as a team. Even those jungle-attuned people would be in trouble in a jungle they don't know and without their tribe or supplies. The average redneck could not do what we're talking about; very few people could. That's elite special forces territory, and even then some of them would fail.

Probably neither of them.

definitely neither of them

 

[Anomalism]

definitely neither of them

These clowns are trying to suggest rednecks come standard with jungle survival skills. 99.9% of all people would be completely fucked if they got dropped off in the middle of an unknown jungle without supplies or directions.

We're talking simple survival skills here, and there's no question rednecks can handle outside life a lot better than someone whose wildest adventures involved concrete pathways and safety railings.
