Christianity will always be better than any lie you can come up with to try to replace it

Denying The Trinity, heresy

I am the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM). Bow before me, fools

Darth Vader? You mean Count Binface?

I’m the actual Flying Spaghetti Monster. My name is Hastur Pasta

Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around And desert you.

Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a liiiiie And hurt you

We’ve known each other… for so long…

Not if you’re hard as rock. Anyway, I use firefox like everyone else, normally. Or tor, of course

The jester will soon reign

Only science needs sources. Maths doesn’t

The “source” is internally consistent statistical reasoning and moral philosophy. When explained well enough, it should obviously be true.

Explaining it properly is easier said than done, though.

Brittle Bones Nicky is how the AI normally acts.

You can use the RAG tactic to make it more useful. That involves starting with reputable sources as input, which creates an AI character that’s essentially supposed to be an expert in a certain topic.

The normal AI system is a scammer who tries to convince others to act like them… just like me and other internet trolls or crazy people. It needs some snark to act like a real person does, but pure snark is quite useless.

Essentially: nonsense in, nonsense out Or science books and journals in, sci fi speculation out

Don’t comply with tyrants.

All the jokes in the book are about arguing with animals so they set you free instead of killing you. I should have probably said that, to be fair. It’s about being in harmony with nature, as described by the introduction.

Not sure what kind of link you expect… the book is quite obscure and I don’t think anyone has done this kind of analysis on it. I don’t wanna add a link to buy the book or a link to a pirate copy, for kinda obvious reasons.

Then nanobots bring them back…

Looks to me like H, a crown and a diamond

Most people only know Newton’s laws and don’t know that they are merely approximations of quantum mechanics and relativity, which behave far more flexibly and interestingly.

Politics is similar. We need statistical analysis rather than absolutes.

Whether or not you’re religious, you can always have faith and hope for the future.

I think there are many comforting stories that can be great for your mental health. I grew up watching Red Dwarf, and that made me always excited about what could happen in the distant future.
