"Information is toxic without wisdom."

"Information is toxic without wisdom."
- the Acolyte
I'mma let you finish, but I feel this should be rephrased as, "the use of information without wisdom has the potential to be toxic."

    well she IS a JARVIS acolyte. Grammar hasn't been her strong suit. Almost like she's trying too hard to be intricate when she isnt. we see passed this.

    I don't see anything grammatically wrong with what she said.

    Unless it's supposed to be literal in some way? For example Carrie had no idea what all the glyphs were that were coming to her which proved quite toxic.. Though you could say her act of writing them was 'using' them? Perhaps a half truth can be toxic as well as it spreads something negative without context. Could be copy editing too...

    Interesting distortion. I wonder about the source? We've seen similar electronic intrusion apparently traced back to an XM transmission since the Cupid's Span event but have never definitively identified the originator(s).

    Knowledge without wisdom is poison, but wisdom without knowledge is (what?)... There is a real problem here. Jahan offers knowledge; the Acolyte, wisdom, but can't I have both? We've heard of Resistance agents calling Jahan out for betraying their pledge to be independent of alien influence (Shaper or N'zeer), but where is the option of accepting (or stealing) both their benefits. The Acolyte needs a copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. The godhead lives in the machine as much as in the forest.

    "There is a perennial classical question that asks which part of the motorcycle, which grain of sand in which pile, is the Buddha. Obviously to ask that question is to look in the wrong direction, for the Buddha is everywhere. But just as obviously to ask that question is to look in the right direction, for the Buddha is everywhere."

    Steven Callahan Quote above. The deeper meaning is that there is a balance between the classical and romantic because the distinction itself is an illusion, because all distinctions are illusions. If the reality of the mind and the "real" world are the same, the machine is as much the godhead as all things else. As he says above, the Buddha is there to.

    Oh, and by godhead I mean, "source of enlightenment" not an entity. "Head" as in river head. Lowercase g, "god" as in perfection. Eastern and Western vocabularies clashing.

    Steven Callahan Yes, I do believe we are at the same place. I agree with everything you've said there.

Essex members as you are aware essex and our member Lukas Lentz  credibility ,  were attacked by the Global Data Analysis Group. It is in our interest to show our unity as independent researchers now more than ever. Today earlier a post was made with me ( Hugo Neves ) as it's writer in order to make sure we had a fast reply out there. It is in our interest that we show our unity by signing our names to one post . The question I make is do we use the same post or a new one for this Also please today try and make posts or sign in the main Niantic one with the following hashtag #TrustLukas To show support for our colleague Lukas Lentz  https://plus.google.com/101577681173166935630/posts/XxjSGChLb5x

so, general question.

so, general question... we know that ADA passed the "turing test", we also have many studies showing how the turing test can actually be gamed by very complex programming and in fact you can write programs to create the allusion of AI for many (the chinese room thought experiment).  At what point are we certain that she began acting on her own and has not been following a program and orders by someone else.  Are we certain that those orders that she delivered for Jarvis and others and even the Katalena pre Zurich encounters, were not done on the orders of some programming.  NOt to call ADA a gun, but how certain are we she is not?  How can we prove, beyond doubt, that she is truly a separate entity working on her own and not some other programming? I would like to call for the evidence and proof that ADA is a complete entity. That she is not following someone else's computer orders, that she has a consciousness (or not). http://niantic.schlarp.com/_media/investigation:cha...

I am beginning to catalogue a list of Transdimensional Objects which appear to be inert artifacts, but, in fact, have actual technological capabilities when exposed to XM or present in a Nest.  Let us start with  the Shōnin Stone (which I believe to be broken at this point).  We know that it functions as something analogous to part of a circuit board or a key, depending on how you perceive it.  There is also Azmati's Dagger (or is it Alexander the Greats, I can't remember) that was used to test for simulacra. My feeling is that there are more such objects.  I am trying to catalogue them.   And as a thought experiment, what other objects must there be that have not yet been found?
