Maybe they should call themselves ICES

Hereeee we areeeee…

I’m only saying that once you have a copy copied and at some point it just blurred out or if somebody (or some political regime) says “that needs adaptation”, we can’t be sure if that outcome is the same as the originating script. If it can be 100% verified, that that’s the original text, sure. But maybe we should all take more than 2 millennia old scriptures with some kind of skepticism if that’s really the message its supposed to be. I’m not a Christian myself either. I’m just somebody trying to figure out the whole meaning and what it’s all about. I have my flaws and imperfections. I just don’t try to be an ahole (though even sometimes I certainly am). But I get the feeling that there is some meaning in these ancient texts. At least in some parts which aren’t translated incorrectly. I think what the authors of those ancient texts wanted to tell us, was to not live in hate or harm, but to connect with each other. The overlapping message within many different religious texts is probably the same. And yet, to this point, it got so distorted that people are divided by all these translations, all these misguiding sentences. They’re used for justification to just do the opposite of the intended (e.g., war against another religion, war against a specific subgroup, etc.). But well, maybe I’m just fantasizing that and the world is supposed to be a war room shithole. It was nothing against your attempt to make something of it. I really think, that that attempt is noble. I just wanted to comment on the history of that.

Hm, I don’t want to sound all negative about that, “but”: maybe that’s the thing all of those transcribers in history thought about that “original” text (and before and before, etc.). I’m sure you do it with much more good intentions than transcribers working for regimes in power etc., but still it changes the message. Think about animal farm and the rules which are changed over time. That’s the problem with sticking to ancient texts which may not be well translated for the current Zeitgeist.

Isn’t expansion comparable to speed instead of acceleration? If the universe is expanding, i.e., already spreading in all kinds of directions constantly, wouldn’t slower expansion mean deceleration? But I guess you meant the same with “eventual collapse later, but probably not now”.

If it’s slowing down right now instead of expanding what was previously observed, that actually means that there was quite a force to get it into the other direction. Or am I misinterpreting things?

I feel you. I have my old PC with quiet an “ancient” chipset. Installed an NVMe and installed Linux on it… Just to find out that my AHCI controller isn’t supported by it with all my Windows hard drives. It’s either booting that NVMe with the Linux one or booting the deprecated Windows ones from BIOS. 12-13 years of reliable hardware… :/ Hope there is a kernel patch supporting it again

Isn’t that called Karma instead of crazy?

It’s almost like those words mean exactly the opposite. Like with Doublespeak.

I’m guessing the cash cow needs some milking. Especially with new lucrative technology lurking around the corner. “Milk before it’s overdue”

Or just let them compete on an island which gets smaller and smaller until there’s just one person standing!

Why don’t you just ask Chat-GPT o3 every time? Works like a charm!

It’s just nice knowing that there are some like-minded people thinking about the same things going on here. Some years ago that kind of connection seemed impossible to me. It’s about an ever-developing consciousness and maybe some day it will lead to fundamental breakthroughs. The more we learn, the more we make sense of it for having harmony and a great life in general. Maybe our brains are just projections of everything going on in this universe, let it be micro- and macro- cosmos.
