  1. Bravo! This reminds me only to believe something until there is no good reason to continue believing. It goes to why I don't believe in belief. Or, spelled with literal accuracy according to usage, beleeef. Curiosity, a seemingly rare and beautiful thing. Does one have freedom to be curious? Freedom to inquire? Freedom to question? Freedom to explore and follow the evidence wherever it leads? Freedom to find out? Are these not the freedoms required for learning? Or must one hold questions in abeyance?

  2. My view is Eve is a representational character in the Judeo-Christian origin myth. My belief is every human is subject to getting conned, and virtually ALL of us do get conned in some material way along our journey in this life. Even in the origin myth, people should consider God did not immediately strike either Eve or Adam dead for having committed the "original sin." They, again, even in this origin STORY (myth, disregarding whether it's true or not), the two of them become parents of the entire Homo Sapiens species. Therefore, God still loved them.

  3. Yes the old “tell them what you’re gonna teach them, teach them, tell them what you taught them” paradigm is alive and thriving in Wayworld. I know AI written articles come off a little bland but the Way can make robots seem exciting lol. Sucks all the oxygen out of the room.

  6. BTW, here is a super short summary of my stand on free will: Yes, we have free will but it is much weaker than we imagine or want it to be, and it is not immediate like we want it to be. This delay in it, and its weakness means it is prone to failure, at first. BUT with practice and persistence it can grow in strength, like a muscle. We can't control everything about our brain, but with a few things in it, we can learn to control better tomorrow than we could yesterday.
