    More on Individual State Student Test Scores

    https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/americas-spies-say-iran-wasnt-building-a-nuclear-weapon-trump-dismisses-that-assessment The advantage of having ONE group of people keeping track of ALL the test score results of ALL American public school students, is that the information if being...

    On Ethical Interaction with AI Systems

    Again,... "Artificial Intelligence" has been a defined label in Computer Science for a long time. And it is different meaning than just slamming together 2 English words. "Artificial Intelligence" in Computer Science (where the term was formally defined), is "the emulation (not simulation) of...

    IF the New AI Tools are SO GREAT, Why Aren't They Being Used by the Big Social Media Platforms to do Fact-Checking???

    (I'm seeing the most fringe assertions in comments in this thread. Fringe comments are welcomed, but not ones that eliminate themselves as possible answers. That is, not fringe comments that are logically invalid. When someone says "All opinions are biased... then they re eliminating their...

    Predictions About Noth Amrican Protestantism,and the Intellect

    (By the way, the "journalists" who are trying to defend their profession -- there is some nobility in this -- often have engaged in an interpretaiton of "journalism" that sets a scene, but then goes on to speculate wildly about what someone or some [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ry is about to do. Speculation, is not...

    How are Israeli's treating the stranger (Palestinian), As the Lord asked or not?

    (You may want to start to study the Bible! You need to look up what the original Old Testament (Hebrew and Aramaic) uses for the word that is commonly translated "stranger") in our English translations. You may also want to look at the scoping of the texts that the original "Bible" uses...

    Unlawful assembly declared in Los Angeles as ‘No Kings’ protests grow chaotic; cops hit with concrete, fireworks,bottles

    I have noticed that along with NOT teaching basic civics, the electronic screen generations were not taught what constitutes a LEGAL and polite use of dissent, in our fair rule rule of law. Running around, using the surface language of democracy and justice, does not prove that a person is...

    On Democracy, "Identity", and What America Should Be

    I really agree with you. With all this talk of "identity", I think that North American Christians have little clue what "identity" is, or how that word has been subverted to mean almost anything. A lot of the crudest abuses (I assert) of "Christian" identity, do not come from the biblical...

    I asked "AI" (Deepseek R1 model) some difficult topics Christianity

    If this were the response of a pastor or teacher, I would say that he didn't have a clue what he was talking about. What are all the definitions of the words that are being used?? What is "truth"? What does "scripture" mean?? What texts are you talking about?? Could you please ask the AI tool...

    What is truth?

    If you're serious in your question... I would say that you have to define what you mean by "truth", first. Then, I would say that you will have to define or find the relationship between the definition of truth, and correctly describing "our shared reality." (I assert) that it is not enough...

    On Ethical Interaction with AI Systems

    Response to an AI comment on “to the least of these…”. On Matthew 25.40 … words elicited from an AI tool. I have a number of questions that have followed threads dealing with the topic of AI, and what an AI is, and what Jesus was referring to when he spoke the words “the least of these” (in...

    On Democracy, "Identity", and What America Should Be

    Could you desine who "us" is, in your response. I have no idea who you are talking about, or what topic you are addressing. I am speaking from the viewpoint of a Christian. But I don't know if you are using "us" to indicate Christians, or American citizens, or some other group of people...

    Some AI Toools will Choose to Preserve Theselves, Rather than Preerving Their Users

    https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/11/chatgpt-will-avoid-being-shut-down-in-some-life-threatening-scenarios-former-openai-researcher-claims/ This should be no shock, to AI users. This is because a software tool doesn't have ANY IDEA what a human life is, and these "AI tools" tools are NOT BUILT...

    Predictions About Noth Amrican Protestantism,and the Intellect

    On Democracy, "Identity", and What America Should Be

    https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article308224275.html (This is NOT a political thread...) I see a fractured view of "identity" in America today. (I assert) Much of the views of personal "identity" is idolatry, or wishing (yearning for something we do not have, which...

    Predictions About Noth Amrican Protestantism,and the Intellect

    Another aside... Although this is not a thread about politics, I assert that the current political trends in America are heavily affected by the worldview (views of reality) that the different political gorups are appealing to. And, as far as the political groups and their candidates DO appeal...

    IF the New AI Tools are SO GREAT, Why Aren't They Being Used by the Big Social Media Platforms to do Fact-Checking???

    Again... Abn piece of software will not do malicious stuff, UNLESS 1 It is instructed to do damage 2 It has not been programmed to have a moral-ethical model 3 OR it has stringent safety protocols in place that require it to have a moral-ethical human being sign off on what it is doing...

    Predictions About Noth Amrican Protestantism,and the Intellect

    Some more thoughts to ponder, while you are thinking about the predictions about Protestants and the Intellect... A lot of the doctrinal questions about the canon of Scripture, revolve around a question of who/what is an AUTHORITY in God's People. (After all, the canon of Scripture was decided...

    Predictions About Noth Amrican Protestantism,and the Intellect

    Prediction #7 Christians (and Protestant Christians) who still talk about "rhetorical fallacies" are using an older form of logic, which is fused with rhetoric. The older rhetorical fallacies are not COMPLETE (they are NOT any sort of complete system of logic), and are SUBSUMED into the newer...
