I'm ready!

I am a science teacher in an inner city school.

Tomfoolery33 comments on Jun 12, 2019:

Some of the problem is culture, and some of the problem is just the way teenagers are. If nobody around them values learning, then they don't either. And it takes kids quite a while to figure out what's best for them. I wasn't a "problem kid" in high school, but I barely got through, because I was too busy with other things more interesting to me (sex and drugs and rock & roll). After a few years of manual labor jobs, I figured out that I needed to do something, so I went to trade school for electronics, and ended up with a lifetime career in computers. But in high school I had no idea what I wanted to be, other than a rock star.

Has anyone here read Mark Manson's book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck"?

Artificial intelligence is incompatible with religion.

Tomfoolery33 comments on May 17, 2019:

I don't think AI will ever be "conscious" in the way that we are. Not because of a "soul" but because AI works and is structured differently than our brains are, and also because there is no body attached. A large part of our brain is intimately tied to our body in all kinds of ways. AI will have fantastic results because of increasing computing power and speed, but it won't be the same as us. As far as it's effects on religion, we'll see.
