During Jaynes’ times Homer's authorship of the Iliad and the Odyssey was taken as true, but contemporary scholarship understands they were composed independently, as part of long oral traditions. Jaynes’s argument on consciousness is then flawed, because minstrels performed- not wrote the myths.

The Strange Idea That Language And Art Emerged Long Before Human Consciousness, Which Only Appeared In 2000 BCE
According to the idea, we used language and even composed the Iliad before human consciousness emerged, meaning it was written by a non-conscious mind.

When a technology becomes important enough, we deify it. Think Hephaestus with copper age work or Ogun with iron age work. What will future people call AI's deification or demonization, as the case may be?

I think the reason capitalism and the United States are failing is that neither is a participatory system of community building. They are both exploitative and extractive. Only when the USA builds community will it be great again. One problem is some want more than the community can generate.

If #AI cant 1. design a miniature personal 3D printed tokamak to power my life, 2. unify the Standard Model, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics, 3. eliminate world hunger and homelessness and end poverty and war, then I don’t think AI is worth it.

Since murder and accessory to murder are crimes punishable by death, then committing or funding genocide should also be punishable by death. Commit genocide, death. Use your personal wealth to support genocide, death. Vote for or sign a bill into law funding genocide, death.

Strategically brilliant move letting your opponent know you're running out of ammunition. Who knew you could call a "time out" in war. Did Iran agree to the time out? Because if I knew you were out of ammo, I'd kick the shit out of you.
