    There Forces of Nature are Functionally a "God" to Us

    Dave and I debate why free-will doesn't exist and really we're all just watching the show. The subjective part of us that feels as if we're choosing should still act as if we're choosing, but they now need to account for that determinism machine in all their decisions as well.

    Artificial Super Intelligence Part 2

    In this one, my brother and I answer some questions we felt went unanswered in Part 1 of this discussion: When do we stop referring to artificial intelligence as "artificial"? Is it possible that an artificial super intelligence already exists? Is it possible whatever it is we call "God" is an artificial super intelligence?

    The only way to find out how we answered these questions is to listen!

G-Darcy ,

I’m curious if the speaker decided to abandon the cat he was feeding-

I stumbled across your podcast, I really wanted to learn something by listening. After hearing you would abandon a cat you were caring for and named and described by it as your cat.
Your comments about Leaving it behind on its own because you were moving turned my stomach.
your way of thinking and lack of compassion is void of moral responsibility.
I hope you will read the laws in your state about animal cruelty. Take it to the humane society where it’s true owner may find it.

My favorite part was when they ditch the cat made me feel all warm & fuzzy
