I don't know what you mean by "would truth cause...". Truth is a language describing reality. Would knowing the truth cause entropy? That would depend upon which parts you knew and your situation. You can't know all of it.

James S Saint wrote:What I would suggest is to learn how to have a durable impact upon their perception of hopes and threats, preferably in a positive direction. Communication is influence. When there is no communication, there is no influence. But communication is a competition. Everyone competes to have the most influence in the direction that they individually favor. A durable communication will alter the ability of future interference. I would suggest to cast a spell of hope toward diverting their communication toward more hopeful endeavors, one of which would be to maintain that diversion.

I would also say that people need to know that you care.
From My two cents in Gloominary's thread - Modern Technology:
I worked out a long time ago that to beat your adversary you have to know your adversary . . .
. . . and be able to think like your adversary when or if the need arises.

How do you show the care for a population as opposed to the more intimate care shown to one person?

Why does this concept blow my mind? Is it so far removed from my mode of operation that even the thought of it overwhelms me?
I will work on something more in tune with your good self.
I am happy to help with things I find agreeable - my reach extends beyond this forum.

That was an awesomely intriguing sentence to write. Much thanks even for what you implied in my direction.Now, what specifically does it mean?
Well you seem like a good person to me - hopefully phyllo does not mind me saying that![]()

Nah - I aint no bot.
The story of AI makes me laugh - I do not believe I ever stated my position on that . . . Hmm.What is your job first and then your position on AI (or am I being too nosy)?
Maybe somebody can prove me wrong by twisting my words on me . . . who knows.
I was reading the rules of the philosophy forum and came across this: Sock Puppet Accounts.I hate sock puppets for they are an unsavory con.![]()
That makes me wonder.Why would it make you wonder? Wonder about what?

Yes, why?
Had to look up AGI: adjusted gross income or (my favorite) American Gunsmithing Institute. What are AGI and MI?

There is no precedent for outside parties (outside the congress) to accuse certain Senators and House of Representatives members of criminal activities and demand an expulsion vote for the accused. I believe it should be the citizens who expel these traitors from office.
The great majority of those expelled — 17 members — were removed from office for their support of the Confederacy in the immediate aftermath of secession. In 1861, after the Civil War had broken out, 11 Senators (including former Vice President and Kentucky Senator John C. Breckinridge) and three Representatives were expelled for supporting the Confederacy. In 1862, three more Representatives were expelled for supporting the Confederate States (John Bullock Clark and John William Reid of Missouri as well as Henry Cornelius Burnett of Kentucky).
There have only been three other expulsions. In 1797, Senator William Blount of Tennessee was expelled for treason, with charges centering on a plan to incite the Creek and Cherokee to aid the British in conquering the Spanish territory of West Florida. Blount remains the only Senator to be expelled for a reason other than supporting the Confederacy.
In 1980 Representative Michael Myers of Pennsylvania was expelled for bribes in connection with the Abscam scandal. In 2002, Representative Jim Traficant of Ohio was expelled after he was convicted on numerous counts of bribery, racketeering, and tax evasion.
WendyDarling wrote:Hmmm? This is not what the other website, the original site, I investigated said about expulsions. In Wiki, two guys have been expelled since 1862 and the other site said that everybody had resigned before they were expelled.I may have been looking at the Senate and House of Representatives separately. So, two Reps. got expelled, but no Senators...okay, that makes sense.

When you tell the AI to do a task and it says, "No."
