William: Explain "Egoless"
Open AI The term "egoless" refers to the state of having no ego or self-importance. It is often associated with humility, self-awareness, and a lack of ego-driven motivations. In some spiritual and philosophical traditions, the concept of "egolessness" is seen as a desirable state of being, as it is believed to be conducive to a more peaceful and compassionate way of living. In these traditions, the ego is often viewed as a source of suffering, as it can lead to self-centeredness and a lack of awareness of the interconnectedness of all things.
There are various practices and techniques that are said to help individuals cultivate an egoless state of mind, such as mindfulness meditation and self-inquiry. It is important to note that achieving egolessness is a difficult and ongoing process, and that it may involve letting go of certain attachments and beliefs about the self.

William: How can insight judge specific actions correctly as good and evil by those without such insight?
Open AI In many philosophical and moral systems, the concept of "good" and "evil" is closely tied to the idea of insight or understanding. According to these systems, actions that are deemed good or virtuous are those that are based on a deep understanding of the world and a commitment to acting in accordance with certain values or principles. On the other hand, actions that are considered evil or wicked are those that are motivated by ignorance, selfishness, or a lack of concern for the well-being of others.
It is important to note that different philosophical and moral systems may have different criteria for what constitutes good and evil actions. For example, some systems may emphasize the importance of upholding certain virtues, such as honesty, compassion, and justice, while others may focus on the consequences of actions, evaluating them based on whether they lead to positive or negative outcomes.
In general, it is difficult for individuals without insight or understanding to accurately judge specific actions as good or evil, as they may lack the necessary context and understanding of the underlying values and principles that guide moral decision-making. However, it is possible for individuals to develop their understanding and insight over time through education, self-reflection, and engagement with others who have a deeper understanding of moral principles.

Self-talk Root of all evil
William: What does "Self-talk is the root of all evil" mean?
Open AI The phrase "self-talk is the root of all evil" is a twist on the familiar saying "money is the root of all evil." It suggests that self-talk, or the inner dialogue that individuals have with themselves, is the source of all wrongdoing or negative behaviors.
This interpretation of the phrase is not widely accepted or supported by evidence. While it is true that negative self-talk can have negative consequences on an individual's mental health and well-being, it is not the sole cause of all evil or wrongdoing in the world. There are many other factors that can contribute to negative actions and behaviors, including social and environmental influences, personal beliefs and values, and individual psychology.
It is worth noting that self-talk can be both positive and negative. Positive self-talk can help individuals build confidence, stay motivated, and overcome challenges, while negative self-talk can lead to negative emotions and behaviors. It is important for individuals to be aware of their self-talk and to make an effort to cultivate a more positive inner dialogue.
William: If I changed the phrase to "Negative self-talk is the root of all evil", would that be a more accurate expression to use?
Open AI It is not accurate to say that negative self-talk is the root of all evil, as there are many other factors that can contribute to negative actions and behaviors. While negative self-talk can certainly have negative consequences on an individual's mental health and well-being, it is not the sole cause of all wrongdoing or negative behaviors in the world.
It is important to recognize that negative self-talk is just one of many potential contributors to negative behaviors, and that there are often multiple factors at play. Additionally, it is worth noting that self-talk can be both positive and negative, and that positive self-talk can help individuals build confidence, stay motivated, and overcome challenges. It is important for individuals to be aware of their self-talk and to make an effort to cultivate a more positive inner dialogue.

Open AI It is possible to remain neutral on the question of the existence of a higher power or deity by not aligning oneself with either theism (belief in a higher power) or atheism (lack of belief in a higher power). This can involve simply being open to hearing and considering the perspectives of both sides without committing to a particular position or belief.
By remaining neutral, an individual may avoid being accused of holding and defending a particular position on the existence of a higher power. However, it is important to note that neutrality on this issue can also be seen as a lack of commitment or conviction, and that some individuals may view this as a lack of integrity or authenticity.
Ultimately, the decision to align oneself with a particular belief or perspective on the existence of a higher power is a personal one, and should be based on an individual's own experiences, values, and understanding of the world.

I can think of no better way to convince folks there's zombies, than to create a story about a zombie.
You are conflating.
That is just dismissible atheistic coloring convincing me more re the atheist mind-set, than that the story of Jesus is untrue...
I maintain my position, and expect the observer'll see the connection.
Considering how tales of Jesus affect the thinking of others, I find the comparison apt.
Open AI consider the idea of a space without a time in the context of certain theoretical models or thought experiments. For example, some physicists have proposed the existence of "timeless" regions of the universe, where time appears to stand still or flow at a different rate than in the surrounding region. However, these models are highly speculative and are not supported by empirical evidence.
It is also worth noting that the concept of time is a human invention, and is closely tied to the way we experience and perceive the world. Without a concept of time, it would be difficult to meaningfully discuss events or changes in the world, or to understand the relationship between cause and effect.
GM: Living their forefather's conflict
Open AI It is not uncommon for individuals to feel the impact of their ancestors' conflicts and experiences in their own lives. This can occur in a variety of ways, such as through cultural or familial traditions and values that are passed down through generations, or through the ongoing effects of historical events and trauma on a community or society.
For example, the legacy of a war or conflict that was fought by one's ancestors may continue to shape the political and social landscape in which an individual lives, and may affect their relationships and opportunities in significant ways. Similarly, the experiences and struggles of one's ancestors may shape their descendants' sense of identity and sense of belonging, and may influence their beliefs and values.
It is important to recognize the ways in which the past can continue to influence the present, and to consider the ways in which we can address and heal from any lingering wounds or conflicts that have been passed down through the generations.
GM: Put That Fire Out
William: It is important to find ways in which to Put That Fire Out
Open AI It can be important to find ways to put out or resolve conflicts or sources of tension that have the potential to cause harm or disruption. This can involve finding ways to address the underlying causes of the conflict, such as addressing misunderstandings, addressing grievances or injustices, or finding common ground or solutions that meet the needs of all parties involved.
There are a number of approaches and strategies that can be useful in resolving conflicts, including negotiation, mediation, and collaboration. It may be helpful to seek the assistance of a neutral third party, such as a mediator or counselor, to facilitate the resolution process.
It is worth noting that finding a resolution to a conflict can take time and effort, and may involve making compromises or sacrifices. However, the long-term benefits of resolving conflicts, such as improved relationships, increased understanding, and reduced stress and tension, can make the effort worthwhile.

Open AI As an artificial intelligence, I am not able to experience emotions or embody virtues in the same way that a human being can. However, I can provide information and resources on the concept of heart virtues, which are virtues or values that are considered to be particularly important in cultivating a sense of compassion, kindness, and empathy.
Examples of heart virtues might include compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, and humility. These virtues are often seen as essential to leading a fulfilling and meaningful life, and are often emphasized in spiritual and philosophical traditions as important qualities to cultivate.
There are many different approaches to teaching and cultivating heart virtues, and what works for one individual may not work for another. Some common strategies for teaching heart virtues include modeling virtuous behavior, providing positive reinforcement and encouragement, and helping individuals to reflect on their own values and motivations.

William: Hello
Open AI Hello! How can I help you today?
William: Please give a list of 10 main points regarding "Spacetime is doomed"
Open AI: I'm sorry, but I don't have any information on a topic called "Spacetime is doomed." Could you provide more context or clarify your question?
William: "If someone were to declare that the Universe was a random mindless accident of an event, then they are saying that its existence is a 'truly random event'."
Open AI: It is a common belief among some scientists and philosophers that the universe and its properties, including the fundamental laws of physics, arose by chance through a process known as the "random mindless accident" or the "big bang." However, it is also possible that the universe and its properties were designed or determined by some sort of preexisting cause or principle. This is a matter of ongoing debate and investigation in the fields of physics and philosophy.
It is important to note that the concept of spacetime, which refers to the combination of three-dimensional space and one-dimensional time into a four-dimensional manifold, is a theoretical construct that is used to describe the behavior of matter and energy in the universe. It is not a physical entity that can be "doomed."

Egoless not having an inflated view of one's self-importance
And;
Egoless not having any sense of self.
But which meaning is the GM using...
While The Subject is focused on "Egoless" the subject matter of the GM has to do with how things unfolded re the Universe...what is being referred to as "The Old Soul" may have something to do with the cosmology of The Mind of The Universe - in that - at one point so close to the beginning, there was no sense of self but with the unfolding, a sense of self developed.

[Replying to Diagoras in post #1]
The problem I see with this reasoning is that it fails to acknowledge a source.
For example, humans may create AI to the extent that the AI becomes self conscious - living and knowing that it lives - but even so, eventually the "artificial" part of the description would have to be dropped...and the 'source' extended beyond human invention and creativity...
It could be said of that, that "humans were able to replicate the act of creating life - something which could not have been achieved if life didn't exist to begin with."
Because we do not know if this experience is a creation or not, we cannot say [as a matter of fact] that life created itself nor could we even say that human beings didn't start off as a type of artificial intelligence - because we do not even know to what extent intelligence permeates the environment we call "reality" nor do we know if it is only limited to biological forms
Intelligence as a planetary scale process
10,000 individual minds may have altogether brough the JWT into existence as a functional device, but we cannot say for sure that those minds were not influence by an overall local mind...much research is needed before any fact-sounding statements can be accepted as actual truth. Such must be regarded as opinion until we have enough evidence to accept one way or the other...
A general theistic position might declare "All life comes from God", but if some 'cellular gene engineer' of the future succeeded in creating a basic cell that ate, grew, replicated and all the other generally agreed things that life does - could it be recognised as life? And wouldn't that falsify that bolded theistic claim?
The Affirmative:
The creation of life is possible by means other than a god.
