Hopefully. If I have to address that person as Madam President, God help us. God save us if that person wins.

Which part? That you're unavoidably going to lose muscularity when fasting? or that it's a balancing act? There's zero marbling in the muscularity of elite bodybuilders, you know this.

You can be a prosecutor and have no personality. That's a thing. People think because she was a prosecutor somehow she's vetted as a person. Could be she's vacuous. Like she seems. Meaning, could be she's the LAST person you want running the country. If she wins her biography is going to...

Trump's going to win. That's the October surprise.

When I'm weight training to build muscularity (which I do NOT do when fasting), I will eat more carbohydrate because it helps build more muscularity. Not too much, but some. It also builds some fat, which I then have to reduce through dieting later. If I am careful to keep eating the right...

Yes, but insulin is still secreted even if you're eating 100% protein and fat and zero carbohydrates, because like you say and show, it prevents fat from being stored, which means you're burning excess protein and nutritional fat for energy, until you run out, and then insulin turns off, and you...

But @Clete 's mouse eating the Moon images weren't completely random. They both clearly expressed a mouse eating the Moon. But there were lots of differences in the details. But in the broadest sense, they both expressed a mouse eating the Moon. So are you saying that A.I. is like a tuned...

I'm going to take a second bite at the apple here. The ancients including Aristotle and Aquinas assigned souls to animals and plants. One of the reasons the problem of identity is so serious is because of the unsubstitutably of humans. There isn't really a problem of identity with animals and...

The solution to the problem of identity has to be mysterious, because of the nature of the problem. It doesn't permit any materialist, physicalist, naturalist proposal at all, as far as I'm concerned.

The Ship of Theseus problem is oddly accurate as an analogy for the problem of identity, because we now know through science that the atoms and cells that constitute our body today, are all going to be different in like 10 years, and 10 years ago, they were all different then too. So we're...

The soul is the most plausible solution to the problem of identity. Turns out Catholicism has believed in a soul from the beginning, because the predecessor of Catholicism (Second Temple Levantine and Diasporan Judaism) was fertile soil for the idea. The New Testament alternates between a...

But if you run multiple quasi- or pseudo-random number generators simultaneously you get all different results, is this because at the micro-second level they're not all actually running simultaneously?

100% A.I. is 100% just math, it's the machine being programmed to transform all manner of data, including visuals and video, sounds, and texts, into math, ones and zeroes, so that it can make math models, which generate new content, that didn't go into making the math models.

Declaratory. Saying it doesn't make it so. Bald assertion. Also, a "just so", very convenient explanation. Also, you're captured by your own position so that entertaining the majority report of secular historians isn't even an ontological possibility for you, which obv has very low initial...

But what is meant by "mind"? I for one cannot see any difference between "mind" and "soul", for example, so if you're saying A.I. has no soul, I agree; and I'd further state there is no ontological possibility that A.I. would have a soul either. It couldn't happen by accident, nor by any...

Oh.

Witty. Weighty. Never heard before stumper.

Oh. Ouch. What a zinger. Never heard that one.

Your dumb and grossly incorrect analysis is noted.

Well you should have been following the discussion instead.
