Mr Hitler was a big fan of Fred and he got it very wrong. Meanwhile Trump is ploughing the same furrow, and we all know "you get what you sow". Mr Hitler assumed the ubermenche/superman was automatically the most powerful person on the planet; Fred spoke of the ubermenche that was to come, due to a configuration of circumstance and the right man for the job. As it happened with Jesus, Mohamed, Buddha etc... IOW It's not power that makes one superior it's understanding AKA wisdom. Why would you think I wouldn't? We all make mistakes, even Mr Trump; what would you do, if he suddenly had an epiphany and admitted that he was completely wrong?

The ubermensch has it's antipode, Trump is just the latest iteration of "he who got it wrong",,,

Isaac Asimov had a go with the three laws of robotics but he had to modify them to include a fourth. The law's for people using AI is what we need to make up and it'll need many more than four to nail it down properly... 😉

The NT is by way of explaining the OT in a modern, for Jesus, way. Jesus understood what the OT was trying to teach, so he was able to reinterpret the message; allowing for the evolution of knowledge, language and culture. But it did evolve, quite naturally I think, to include hell; for those who seem to get away with their crimes scot-free, they're so much more difficult to forgive; if they can get to heaven as well. If you can forgive yourself for your worst thought/action, it's easier to forgive your fellow, flawed, humans for their's. At least it should be, if one thinks about it properly...

AI doesn't give a shit, it's people that steals information...

He's trying to sell a book... Heaven and hell are the same thing, two sides of the same coin; in a nutshell, heaven is what I get if I follow the rules, hell is what they get if they don't. It's justice controlled by a trusted arbiter, whatever side you're on...

Indeed, that's what AI is thinking about... 😉

Children. Eden is what we dream of, it's a powerful image, something to strive for; if I do everything according to the rules then my reward is contentment, for as long as I'm aware.

You should look for anything, that helps you to think of a better question. And kids should be seen and not heard, sorry pops...

my post wasn't meant to be taken litterally. The issue, as I see it, is that a genuine attempt to understand is more important than the 'ism one is brought up on.

who taught you that???

Who taught you to be? Someone who didn't understand religion or someone who didn't understand science? This is what seems to be confusing you, what I'm sure you meant to say is "someone, who goes to church and is really bad at maths got it wrong; meanwhile someone who goes to church and is really good at maths can show you why". Beside my local church couldn't possibly house the world's population... 😉

Indeed, this is the paradox Nietzche struggled with... I don't know what you're struggling with... If we kill God, then we're going to need an ubermensch... And any idiot can apply... 😉

Indeed +1 Why is it important to appear more than one is?

Bc it's expensive, even the middle classes have learnt to switch it off when it's not being used, or as my dad would say "FFS, this isn't Crystal Palace..." Or as Tesco's would say "every little helps". Even the most philanthropic Government has to complete a maze, before every step forward...

Is this the output from your computer? But it's does remind me of something Stephen Fry said, I'll paraphrase 'Facebook set the parameters of their algorithm with 2 word's, maximise interest, imagine the world now, if those 2 word's were, maximise happiness'. But that too is subject to corruption... 😉

I think @exchemist is essentially right, Thatcher started a cascade of self interest; so politically, to arrest that momentum, it has to start with self interest, i.e. eyesore verses very cheap energy...

Only at a certain temperature... 😉

The Enterprise is a culteral affectation, it represents a platform of extended power, from which to pr/teach the American accent... 😉 Why not use space elevators to transport everything we need to a space station and launch from there?

There's many more than 5...

Marxism is more of a predictor of revolution, if democracy can't limit or arrest the economic race to the bottom; still seems relevant today. Isn't that how a sermon works? It tells a story about why 'X' is bad, and it should be avoided. There is no manifesto, that works for everyone whatever ism one follows. We could start by trying to avoid the revolution that fixed the leopard's spot.

It reminds me of that plot in "South Park" where Cartman was cloned and both became cops, they run into each other and cancel themselves out shouting "You will respect my autoritae" and the southpark returned to normality; or did I dream that episode...

You shouldn't conflate a poll, in the public eye, with a fake, or anti-democratic process; it's ill informed... 😉 Much like your hero 'the Trump', or how history may remember him, 'the anti-democrat'.

If you want it to be sci-fi then it has to have an internal logical consistency, that at least correlates, however loosely, to current scientific thinking; otherwise it's just another story, in which magic happens... I think the current Dr who writer, has forgotten the rules...

It depends on the context the teacher provides, clearly... If a child grows up in a war zone, it has to be taught 'how to survive a war zone'... 😉
