The Dollar Bill

Upon the back, is the Pyramid
With the Eye of Providence.
Thirteen steps up the pyramid
Belay, thirteen steps to enlightenment.

The the eye is God's divine watch
Over the country, and its people.

Then, there is the Eagle, the Crest of the United States
And the Olive Branch and Arrows.
The Olive Branch the thirteen leaves of peace
And the Arrows the thirteen arrows of war.

Seventh Day Adventists

Yeah, that's a cult. No doubt. Good work Matt. I had no idea. Let's put it this way, there's Poets and there's Posers. People who make "Prophecies" expecting them to come true, are just people trying to gain a following. 

The Hebrew word for Prophet is "Interpreter." I learned that from Baruch Spinoza of all people. But, generally, I think creatively reflecting on scripture, is different than trying to exert your own beliefs as if they were. Which, Ellen G. White crossed that line. Nothing I write is sacred... it's just sermons in the form of Poetry. If it all got burned tomorrow, it'd be a waste for me, as it wouldn't save souls. But, there'd be no loss to the kingdom. That I know of. I always say, if any scripture actually gets written, it will appear there in scripture, and nobody will have to do anything to it. God will do it.

My Friend Jonathan

Walking through the trees,
If you'd just walk one more mile with me...
But you wouldn't.
You unload upon me an accusation...
Yet, I know you can't read my thoughts.
That is a paranoia of mine,
But you knew nothing of what I actually thought.
Though I did tell you what I was thinking,
And you told me I was lying...
I was not lying my friend.

"Conservatives love God but not His law,
"And Liberals love God's Law but not Him."

We are two friends, knit together,
You say it is your idea,
I say it is mine.
I don't know which of us found the principle...
But many discussions with you have made their impact...
Must I go over every word and find what is yours
And what is mine?
What if both of us together have been iron sharpening iron?

AI

So, the scoop on AI.

AI is just a verbal calculator. That's all it is. It skims articles, and gives you a summary of them in a paragraph. It also will, in the future, be capable of moving traffic in grids---maybe even flying grids---to prevent accidents. As the traffic patterns will be too complicated for someone to do themselves if there's flight.

It shouldn't be incorporated into the human body. It shouldn't be built from any biological mechanism. But, it's just a way to basically calculate. 

As far as it writing books or doing art... I think people have to have a moment, where they realize that Art is communication. And 90% of the value of a book, is the Author or Painter. Who they are as a person. Not the actual words or subject themselves.

As an AI can't do three things.

It can't witness. It has no capacity to understand or perceive the world, so it can't understand with any accuracy what is truly going on. So, it can pull up data, and tell you what other people have said---being a sort of collective subconscious---but it cannot perceive the world or experience it.

It can't reason. AI cannot move to higher principles, unless they're already built. It can't understand, or use division like logic. An AI will never understand why something works. It can only do how. It can't understand the logic of mathematics, or really perceive the metaphor of a book.

It can't imagine. AI cannot think in pictures, or words, or really it doesn't have any thoughts. It's everything ever written or spoken on the Internet, blended together, to create a shortcut to an already programmed answer. It cannot believe. It cannot truly understand. It cannot imagine. So, even if it does create a perfect story, it didn't imagine that story. The Billions of people whose ideas programmed it, imagined that story, and it just spun them around in a kaleidoscope and regurgitated it.

The Abolishment of Diet, Sabbath and New Moon Colossians 2:20-23

20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
