Why is everyone concerned about giving sexual and religious minorities when both Europe and US are experiencing an increase of aging population? Why not give older people equal rights by eliminating discrimination in employment and media representation? Old people have years of experience and expertise in the workplace and life, in general, so why are they being pushed aside in our society? **

Early 1960's and married to an early 1950's man. We and most of our friends just want basic comfort not wealth. Power and wealth leads to betrayal and pain. I work for a family that takes care of those that are helpful, above and beyond law. They started off dirt poor. **

If we can't settle on what being alive means, we can't settle on whether being alive is relevant to morality. **
Daniel McKay wrote:
»What exactly do you mean by morality? What I mean is the way in which persons ought to be or act where ought is understood in a universal, categorical way.« **
Defining morality as »how one ought to behave« is tautological. The term »ought to« conveys no more meaning than »moral« and both presume a standard. My question to you is whether you believe that;
A) There is an objective moral standard,
B) Moral standards are rationally founded,
C) Moral standards are aberrantly emergent,
D) Moral standards are passed down from »above«.I support the notion that morality is rationally founded and that foundation can be discovered via the definition of »being alive«, thus morality is actually objective but not necessarily anything like what morality has always been taught to be. Perhaps the highest moral code allows or disallows different things than normally expected.
One thing that I can tell for certain is that without clear, unambiguous definitions of the terms, nothing can be resolved in discussion (e.g. »rational«, »moral«, »living«, »ought« ...). **
Daniel McKay wrote:
»What do you mean humans barely fit into the category of moral agents? Are you suggesting that we have only just made it over the moral bar? It is certainly possible that we are the only animal to do this, though I suspect that some of the great apes may require more investigation before we can rule them out as at least persons in the same way that a child is a person.« **
My understanding of the highest moral code reveals that homosapian cannot actually maintain it, although he senses something close to it. This trait appears to be a function of the limit of homosapian intelligence. By »barely fitting into the category [of being a moral agent]«, I am referring to the apparent fact that homosapian has a very difficult time comprehending true morality (and in fact, has never shown a precisely accurate understanding of it). **

Physical power is the only real kind of genuine power. Social or psychological power can't exist on its own like physical power can without some kind of manipulative deception propping itself up. Social or psychological powers to me are lesser forms of power overall. **

- The law of recurrence: Lower categories recur in the higher levels as a subaspect of higher categories, but never vice versa.
- The law of modification: The categorial elements modify in their recurrence in the higher levels (they are shaped by the characteristics of the higher levels).
- The law of the novum: The higher category is composed of a diversity of lower elements, but it is a specific novum that is not included in the lower levels.
- The law of distance between levels: Since the different levels do not develop continuously but in leaps, they can be clearly distinguished.

Thank you for the information. Do you think that it is a giant leap?« ** **
Not really, I think it clarifies that symbolic »thinking« (quotes due to vaguely-defined words) can be an emergent property from algorithmic programming. I don't think there's likely to be a big leap, though, so much as small steps that make it harder to agree on what machine intelligence entails and where we draw legal and moral lines. **

By whom? I'm sure many capabilities are underestimated by many, and many overestimated too. What's the most important group to consider - the common understanding, the understanding of policymakers, that of technicians, that of the shadowy cabal running the world? **
