How to become a God, in 3 simple steps (absent faith/belief):

RE: How to become a God, in 3 simple steps (absent faith/belief):
I can become God by ordering around a bunch of teddy bears. The word is meaningless.

All of my teddy bears appear to be deaf.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Why three steps, when all it takes is one?

1. Become a vacuous concept with no meaning whatsoever.

Well, who's to say that your method is the best one?  If I wanted to be an unemotional, unbiased and unopinionated goddess, I probably wouldn't have bothered and would have gone into real estate or chartered accountancy instead.   Big Grin

('A')

Incorrect; unless said teddy bears exceed/equal human performance on a profound degree of cognitive tasks whence said intellect has been programmed by thine.


('B')

It appears you have failed to reduce the passage. (likely on emotional bias)

Rather than meaningless, God is clearly defined.


('C')

Perhaps it is pertinent, that you commence machine learning courses via coursera.

See response ('B') of mine, via robvalue prior.

('A')

Incorrect. See response ('A') of mine, via robvalue prior. Adjust accordingly. See ('C') thereafter.


('B')

I own not any method; or rather, said method is optimally observed/OBSERVABLE, absent my notation of said methodology.

Says you. The word has no agreed universal meaning. You've just made up your own one here.

What are you hoping to achieve with all this?

FACTS/observations:

1) The traditional theistic definition of God includes omniscience, omnipotence...., and the ability to generate non-trivial intelligence.

2) Mankind PARTIALLY satisfies the theistic God definition, on the horizon of scientifically OBSERVED/OBSERVABLE sequences; mankind has ALREADY created brain based models that compute 10^14 of the estimated total, 10^+16 synaptic NEURONAL operations per second.

3) God is then SIMPLY PROPERLY definable, as any likely non-omniscient entity [ie MANKIND] with the ability to generate non-trivial artificial intelligence.

4) Other theistic properties [omniscience, omnipotence, omni...] are NOT LIKELY, on the horizon of said scientific observation.


('C')

I have not any hope/belief/opinion.

Okay, but can you say it in an even bigger font please. I'm still not quite convinced.

RE: How to become a God, in 3 simple steps (absent faith/belief):
There's not enough LSD in the world to understand this nonsense.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.

It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
