It is amazing how deeply ingrained the spiritual impulse is.
These atheists believe there is no God, heaven, hell or afterlife.
However, they are working as hard as they can to invent an AI that:
* will benevolently watch over everyone and make life a paradise, AKA, God
* allow us to become immortal digitally, AKA afterlife
* those that don’t support it are immoral, AKA heretics to be punished
This is also seen in the environmentalist movement.
* There is no God but Gaia, and she feels pain and suffers. That’s not science but religion.
* After we all live according to their mandates and in poverty, we will have paradise on earth.
* Those who do not believe are deniers; it isn’t a debate on allocating resources but unbelievers to be cast out - and like many theocracies joining state with faith, seek to have climate change deniers arrested.
* Failure to convert everyone leads to hell on Earth, though some take the Jihadi view and dream of a disaster killing 90% of the world while THEY are expected to live.
* The predictions of coming doom are increasingly apocalyptic, from a few degrees warmer (as we managed in the last warm period) to ten degrees warmer (as it was before the Himalayas formed and Antarctica had a polar current that let it freeze) to human extinction to all life on Earth will die unless you do what we say!
* All the actions are the same whether they say it is global warming/global cooling/climate change.
* They put more faith in data models than real data, even have conspiracies to change the data to fit the models and actively suppress contrary scientific data. That’s a belief system, not science.
The only difference between Google and Greenpeace is Google thinks it can create an artificial god while Greenpeace already has its goddess.
Kurzweil AI reported on an experiment in 2013 where two people were remotely connected in this way allowed one person to move the hand of another person without their knowledge or control. (He pressed a specific key on a keyboard in front of a blind-folded person many miles away.) Nobody could ever misuse THAT!!! *sigh*
Kurswell is to AI what Al Gore is to Global Warming.
Kurzweil (correct spelling) is a brilliant guy and Google is lucky to have him.
That said, he’s been saying stuff like this since before Larry Page (founder of Google) was a twinkle in his mother’s eye.
WHO SAID THIS?
“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
(Genesis 3:5 )
Their god = limited human knowledge
But not:
- Wisdom
- Understanding
- Love that passes ALL human understanding
- All power in heaven and on earth
