Wisdom involves distinguishing what has value in relation to the universal purpose and what opposes it. It is like separating the wheat from the chaff, “a phrase used in the Bible as a metaphor for divine judgment, separating the righteous ("wheat") from the wicked ("chaff").” Wisdom views truth from a holistic perspective; what might benefit the individual might not benefit the whole. #wisdomwithoutfear

My thoughts on autonomous cars…
Giving up control of the things that matter least (driving to work everyday) freeing up our attention for the things that matter most, seems like a good trade off since we only have
one lifetime to discover and we’re constrained by time.

This is all based on the assumption that autonomous cars can do a better job (safer and more efficient) at driving than most humans.

And that people will use their time wisely in cars that they do not have to drive anymore.

We will see.

Everything goes fairly well until someone thinks they know more than they really know—or when they think there’re more important than they really are. #wisdom

I have always admired and respected those who dare to say “we know what we know, we know what we don’t know, and there’s that which we don’t know we don’t know.

An important caveat about Love — it doesn’t exist, at least in this dimension of reality, in the absence of fear, so yes, if we Love, we will undoubtedly suffer at some point — it is inevitable, but meaningful.

“Your have fear, ego and beliefs: thats why you’re unhappy” — Thomas Campbell , Physicist.

Breaking news: politicians are collaborating with the media to create provocative and divisive stories. These narratives tap into feelings of shame, fear, and guilt. As a result, people often feel pressured to make a binary choice, creating a divide so significant that those who choose differently are viewed as enemies. The next time you encounter a compelling story presented as truth, take pause instead of taking the bait.

Despite recent advancements in robotics, it may take decades for autonomous robots to become available to consumers due to stringent government safety regulations. The challenging process of ensuring vehicles meet safety standards suggests that gaining approval for personal robot assistants will be equally difficult. #robots

In the theory of natural selection, nature is responsible for selecting species based on their ability to adapt and thrive in their environments. Some believe that AI could evolve into its own species, potentially conforming to the principles of natural selection. However, we can take on the role of nature, guiding AI development to meet our needs. By doing so, we can eliminate AI agents that do not align with these requirements, thereby ensuring our own future and existence. #existentialism #artificial_intelligence

One of the hardest things is to accept that two things can be true at the same time #truth

How about this for a defence: “my Ego made me do it”

What insights would emerge from a comprehensive meta-analysis of all the religions we've developed throughout history? #religion

I saw a squirrel put a chestnut on the road. A car ran over it, breaking it open, and the squirrel collected the inside for an easy meal. Nature's intelligence is truly miraculous. #NatureFacts #miracles

Self awareness might not allow you to reverse your behaviour, but it can give enough pause so you don’t make a challenging situation even worse. #SelfLove

[Kris J Simpson @KrisJSimpson]

As we do the work to heighten our self awareness, we will not only experience our perception of the good in ourselves and the other, but will also become more sensitive to that which could be better in ourselves and the other. The path to enlightenment isn’t paved with nothing but flowers, rather, you will need to tend to the weeds along the way. #selfaware #meditation

Will AI increase the gap between the wealthy and the struggling poor? While we enter into the super automation era, where large corporations leverage AI to significantly decrease their marketing budgets for example, cutting out a lot of the labor currently being outsourced too, marketing companies, now outsourcing it to AI, those corporations, undoubtedly will see Greater profits which will translate into greater dividends for those that have invested in the stock market. Is this the predictable future? If so, at least for the short term, the stock market could be the best investment, and small business and entrepreneurs could also benefit greatly from this new era, with AI‘s capabilities needing nothing else than a handheld device and a non- expert operator,... undoubtedly,
there will be winners and losers.

[Kris J Simpson @KrisJSimpson]

Paradoxically, in relationships of all types, we must be both stable and flexible. We must be able to self-regulate our emotions so that others can trust and depend on us, but we must not be so rigid and predictable that we can’t go with the flow once in a while and adapt to different circumstances. #RelationshipAdvice #RelationshipGoals

[Kris J Simpson @KrisJSimpson]

How we identify with or over-identify with what threatens us, how we maintain composure during conflicts, and how we soothe our wounds after a defeat will be partly determined by our nature and our past, but can be guided by self-care that fosters self-awareness.
