What Computers Dream About

In a world run by people who are more calculating than computers, and who are driven mostly if not exclusively by greed, those who have any desire to spend time experiencing life as a human being have always become the casualties. 

Or to put it another way, the monster of the future has always devoured the people of the past, the same way Columbus would lead to the devouring of the Native Americans. And that monster is called "progress."

Computers, in this respect, are us, just minus our emotions. And we are the dreams those computers are having, as well as the nightmares.  

And those nightmares are the result of a world run by people who are more calculating than computers, and who are driven mostly if not exclusively by greed, who have always devoured those who spend time experiencing life as a human being.  

In a world of "survival of the fittest," the winner has to be the biggest psychopath of all.  And they usually only get that way, by first believing in a God who is an even bigger psychopath than they are, and then devoting their lives to trying to "be like God," as the serpent promised. 

And we're all striving to give computers an "artificial intelligence" that is as cold and calculating as our own, but is as omniscient and omnipresent as our God, and just as morally indifferent.

Why Christianity is More Unnatural Than Homosexuality

I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves  that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian").  The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God." They interpret their fear of those who are different, in other words, as simply proof of their intimate knowledge and love of God. And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma...

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...
