I Don't think I can suspend disbelief for this
Some amount of time or recordings ago I was as per typically talking with Shane Bugbee. On said occasion we got around to the (common between us) topic of AI and the development of artificial human companions. Now, I don't remember verbatim or what exactly was said but I disagree with Shane that these compatriots will end up equatable to an actual human. Naturally, this is mainly in sexuality. Scents imitated or not, you (or at least I) still have the mental notion: this is not human, this is a programed entity for my desires. In terms of a total environment, amazing at least in theory. Not really in my opinion. Sure humans are by way of nature and nurture, programmed-- it's a synonym.
This being all based on personal understanding, based on myself I know and would know that said computerized comrade isn't human, and no matter how akin it can get it will be uncanny in those regards. There's no building with a robot, not in the same way a human is programmed. An artificial human companion in these regards is an ideal of the ideal being, a misanthropic replacement. In my head, it could never work, at least for me.

Hot Summer Blowout
It was a drudgy afternoon. Miserably the people marched about the day under the heat. Suddenly, a flash and the temperature spontaneously skyrocketed. In a moment, they couldn't breathe their sigh of relief.
James Cameron doesn’t understand Oppenheimer
A rebuttal by Claudia Berdella
James Cameron is stupid to think Oppenheimer did some sort of disservice in not reenacting the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The entire movie is about Oppenheimer, and the creation of the tool of destruction. Not the usage outside of the Trinity test and Manhattan Project at the time. It’s not a “moral cop out” or whatever it was he said, it’s realistic. Oppenheimer wasn’t present for either bomb dropping, but they could have shown when he visited years after the matter. That would tie it in better as i get what Cameron is trying to say, but he goes about it wrong. What would showing that do to Oppenheimer except make it into just another war movie where the pinnacle is the explosions, not underlying threat of self-made annihilation. The film already showed Robert grappling with his creation. Realistically speaking, it’s not some cop out by any means, if one reads American Prometheus which the film uses as basis, one would see that Oppenheimer wasn’t straightforward or consistent in his feelings towards his accomplishment, the movie reflects that (even if in an overly melancholic way) quite well.

Intelligence & Wisdom
A personally-based analysis by Claudia Berdella
Experience isn't intelligence. Intelligence is the capacity to have, adapt to the circumstances of said experience and understand the experience. Wisdom is only hindsight, but wisdom is nuanced as such
Case example: myself
I know a fair amount, I'm certainly intelligent. I'm not wise though, not really. People have said I'm wise for my age ("beyond your years" is often said), not really. Wisdom necessitates experience. My experiences, while there and I've definitely acquired some wisdom from them, are next to nothing. I look for nuance, simple as such (not really, but really). Intelligence is exploring the nuances, wisdom is the multifaceted lense afterthought. Or so I think.

Well, This Is What We Want(ed)?
Well, This Is What We Want(ed)?
By Claudia Berdella
It seems that with current geopolitical disputes that the world is verging on a hypothesized, proselytized third world war. Russia, Ukraine, the US, Israel, Iran, Pakistan and France along with others are all engaged in conflict(s) which intertwine with international alliances of said countries. Escalated dramatically and all began clicking together by the breakout of bombardments between Iran and Israel in recent days after the latter assassinated a person of importance to the former. Alliances on both sides line up to set the stage for an intercontinental bloodbath.
Such is just a general overview of what may be the official catalyst for the spectacle people simultaneously seem to want and will into being via self-fulfilling prophecy while not wanting to. In spite of that it is romanticized, even memed into a genuine possible reality. That is the nature of magic; willing something to happen, and in such a grand scale too. And what have we in the post-WWII landscape fetishized since? A trilogy. Fetish not being a positive or negative term here; people would likely prefer not to live through something as catastrophic as that, but still meme it to be. The bombs on the screens are only pieces of beauty on TV and a good distance reach from their projected destinations, just ask the remaining survivors in Gaza.
The appeal here however is there, an orgasm that seems to be dying for release. Of course both in foresight and hindsight that it would be catastrophic, there’s never not an ethereal element to the idea of it being the last moments (not time specific: moment can be a few days or minutes or seconds in this usage) before annihilation. Israel has no issue fulfilling that dream, and wouldn’t it be fascinating to see?
It could backtrack the species technologically and socially a century or so, and maybe that’s part of the basis of this fetish. After all the proverb after the finale of the Second World War was that WW4 would be fought with sticks and stones. But maybe the basis for this apocalyptic fetish is an escape from reaping what we see. Or it is reaping what we’ve sewn, likely both. Sure there would be more work, more strenuous work to go around but at least Instagrams not in the picture anymore. So in a way the escape is from reaping the benefits of our own desires. Nonetheless, if WWIII occurs, remember: we wanted this on some unconscious level and consciously willed it into being, not simply the powers that be.

What Would Anton LaVey Think About ICE Raids
by Claudia Berdella
Ultimately, it's not able to be known what he would really think he is dead and you never know what is actually in a person's skull. That being said, I think it is safe to speculate on the topic (and I am not the first as this based on that prompt) given what the Doktor wrote and said while he was breathing. This is not what would, it's what might he think.
Many would assume given the bastardized misinterpretation of the text Might Is Right and it's resonating with LaVey's outlook after he discovered the piece of literary dynamite that he would be in full support of Trumps gestapo. It's true, LaVey was a man who liked the idea of having "an armed guard on every corner." However he was also a person who understood how scapegoating works. As an ethnically Jewish person growing up in the same world as Uncle Adolf had his office days in he did observe a commonly used example of the creation of a manipulated enemy. Not to mention, y'know he created Satanism as it's understood base tool is, and Satan, the rock n roll nigger of all history, is obviously the most blatant example of the creation of outsiders; the terms Satanism and satanist etymologically were slurs used to create and justify purging of outgroups. By his own admission he understood that on a political level as well-- "I would have been thrown into prison during the McCarthey purge [1951-1952] had I been of any prominence." It's like schools targeting alt kids even more after Columbine.
On the flip, Trump is undoubtedly a Satanic president, probably the closest to a Satanist since Teddy Roosevelt. He certainly lives Might Is Right, just watch him give a handshake.
"Behind all Kings and Presidents--While true, and as evident with the current POTUS calling for the National Guard and threatening Marine involvement over people pissed off and frightened by his policies, this idea also states that liberty has never been won except by deeds of war, which is true. LaVey was a libertine, he did believe in people having personal sovereignty so long as they could handle it. LaVey may have appreciated Law and Order, but he also had a very healthy and valid distrust in government, but wouldn't lay sole blame on Trump, "People that blame leaders. I don't care whether the leader is someone like Stalin or someone like Hitler or someone like Manson or someone like a guy that happens to have a group of followers that will just simply-- like, Tom Metzger is a perfect example-- be blamed for what the knuckleheads it the dunderheads or the stupes do to, perhaps, overextended what they said. EACH LIVING BEING CREATURE, whether is is human or otherwise, should be held responsible for ITS actions." [Answer Me! issue 3 interview].
all Government and Law.
Are army-corps and cannoneers--
to hold the world in awe..."
