If You Believe This About Love, You’re Going To Fail At It

Fairy tales are wonderful … but they’re not real…

“Someday my prince/princess will come, and they will be the one that will complete me” comes originally from Plato, in his writing The Symposium.

His character Aristophanes proclaims: “According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves … ‘Love’ is the name for our pursuit of wholeness, for our desire to be complete.”

This is a huge burden to bear if you think about it like that, and even Plato himself didn’t think that people could live up to the expectation.” Source: If You Believe This About Love, You’re Going To Fail At It

Dads — Official Trailer

Lovely documentary on Dads that just popped up on Apple TV+. Me? I have six sons and all of them have turned out to be fine men in their own way. I’m also blessed that my father is still among the living. I wrote about him and his influence on me in a post entitled I Thank God Every Day For My Dad and I’ve never thought of anything better to say since then…

Can AI answer life’s biggest questions?

AI can provide insights and perspectives on various topics, but it is unlikely to provide a definitive answer to life’s biggest questions, such as the meaning of life, the nature of consciousness, or the existence of a higher power.

These questions are philosophical and often require a subjective interpretation of human experience and values, which are difficult for AI to comprehend. While AI can process and analyze vast amounts of data, it cannot replace human intuition, creativity, and empathy in understanding complex philosophical concepts.

That being said, AI can help us explore different perspectives and test hypotheses related to these questions, potentially leading to new insights and discoveries. But ultimately, the search for answers to life’s biggest questions will continue to require human inquiry, contemplation, and reflection.

Iain Thomas and Jasmine Wang offer a different perspective. By the way, the first three paragraphs were written by AI in response to the title question…

For an opposing perspective, consider this…

How long will you remain unmoved by the plight of Ukraine and Ukrainians?

While we celebrate thanksgiving, Ukrainians remember Holodomor…

“Holodomor was a genoсide. The artificial famine killed millions in Ukraine in the 1930s. In 1933, Ukrainian villages were like hell on earth. Exhausted and swollen from hunger, both adults and children died a slow and painful death.” Source: Holodomor was a genoсide. The artificial famine killed millions in Ukraine in the 1930s

Today, the Russian regime is resorting to genocidal practices in the war against Ukraine. But it also does not shy away from using food as a weapon once again, this time – to pressure the international community. Russia does not care who and where will suffer or even die of hunger.

Only proper commemoration, conviction, and punishment of all perpetrators of crimes against humanity can be a safeguard against their repetition of crimes. And recognizing Holodomor as a genocide and condemning the Soviet totalitarian regime are the inevitable steps on this path.
