God

Isaac Asimov wrote in "The Last Question:" A group of scientists created an AI system and asked it, "Is there a god?"  The AI spit out an answer, "Insufficient computing power to determine an answer."  They add more computing power toad ask again, "Is there a god?"  The y get the same answer.  Then they redouble their efforts and spend years and years improving the AI's capacity.  Then they asked again, "Is there a god?"  The AI responded, "There is now."

In 1977 when Apple unveiled its logo it referenced the Garden of Eden by using the apple as a symbol of the network of power.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?

Speech

  “To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.”     John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent.  Life teaches many lessons.  Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied.  Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.

The Price of Misjudgment

“If a man does not judge himself, all things judge him, and all things become messengers of God.” – Nachman of Bratslav ”If I do not accept responsibility for the evil I do, the very earth will rise up to judge and condemn me. The stars, the trees in the wind will provide sentence…”   -Julius Lester
