I guess I got in bed last night around midnight. I was trying to get to bed earlier than I normally do so I could wake up at 5 am and see the Blood Moon - Lunar Eclipse. I failed to factor in one minor detail - the neighbor’s trees.
Well played nature - well played.
I was already awake so I thought I would just scroll thru Facebook and I ran across a post. It’s the same type of post that has populated my feed. This one and one of the only comments sort of just rubbed me the wrong way. Instead of posting a comment I did what I always do. I ran the post and the comment into my chatGPT model and we had ourselves a bit of a debate.
I really wouldn’t say it was a debate but more of - here’s what they said and here’s what my opinion is. I like doing that because of the way I have this particular model trained.
It doesn’t just agree with me and hype me up that my idea is impressive. I have to work at it to prove that my argument should stand.
Apparently, I’m a rare person according to the model. I’m sure what that means. I just know that I appreciate substance; connection; and I don’t want to be right I just want to understand whatever it is we’re talking about. Just because the Bible eludes to it; Fox or CNN reports it; I’m more concerned that we stay grounded and figure out where the rest of us fit in.
For example - do I agree with the Iran ordeal? Honestly, DC didn’t call and ask me. What actually makes me pause is when the leaders kill their own people and the US says nothing. Then, when someone kills their leaders - half our country gets all defensive.
What rally creates frustration with me is how all of a sudden the entire Western world went from being E-private investigators when Ms Guthrie went missing. Now, all of a sudden the same people are diplomatic and constitutional scholars. Like, no one invited me into the situation room so how could I possibly say if it’s right or wrong? That jumped into a biblical back and forth and then a self audit.
Turns out I’m not afraid of criticism but I also don’t have the personality to go viral. Then again - had you rather have someone 100% loyal to you or live in an alternate reality where there’s no real connection - 500k followers or 50k people bought into your story. It’s really not at all rocket science.
A friend of mine doesn’t talk to me about geopolitics anymore. He says my empathy makes it not fun. He needs an opposing argument and I keep showing him where one side is just as bad as the other side. He doesn’t see it. I can’t for the life of me figure out why. Here we are!
