Is succumbing to A.I. human destiny ?
80313
Why do you say "succumbing"? A.I. is destined for advancement and it is just what is needed to help bolster getting specific responses with search queries based on content rather than keywords, and there are countless other applications that could benefit society. Although there needs to be some sort of agency that reviews applications for A.I. so as to prevent negative consequences to human destiny by someone with evil intent.

It happens in the realm of science fiction (Babylon 5 or Star Trek), but in reality, I doubt it.  Revelations says so, sure, but as one professor at my college put it: "We're eventually heading in that direction, but we'll probably wipe each other out before we actually accomplish that".

People are born believing they're the centre of the universe. Everything that happens is judged as good or bad from a self-centred viewpoint. Sure we all want to see good things in the world, but effort is bad, so if it takes effort to counter somebody else's evil & it doesn't directly affect you, why bother? It's possible to remain in denial until the world kills you as an "innocent victim", and life will seem easy. As Shakespeare so aptly put it through Hamlet\n"To be, or not to be, that is the question. \nWhether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, \nOr to take arms against a sea of troubles\nAnd by opposing, end them...."\n\nOf course we've all been brought up not to interfere, to give in to anything so that others' peace isn't destroyed, so we don't risk our own lives or disrupt their rest as they wait for the destruction of the world. \n\nThe real question is, do we want to be or not to be something? If so, it involves effort, fighting against apathy, others getting upset at us, risking losing our lives & all we care about sooner than we might if we did nothing. If we just let it happen, that's a recipe for certain anihilation, if we do something, then there's only a 99.999% chance of anihilation.

If there is a sentient, benevolent, omnipotent being out there I'd like to think it has better things to do than to worry about a checklist of do's and don'ts for billions of little scuttling life-forms on one little planet way out on the western spiral arm of the galaxy.\n\nYou are accountable for your own actions.  Those actions have repercussions.  You reap what you sow, as it were... though that speaks more of karma than of judging God.  Anyway.  I suggest you keep your own record and take care of things the best way you can, as it seems highly unlikely anyone else is going to do it for you.  ;)

one who's born have to die one day no matter what form it comes in. but this doesnt mean u step back from things thinkin by thinkin about death. its god who writes fate and it is written from the time one comes in this world. so dont worry if u want to go for it go ahead. all the best.

Yes, along some lines I believe in destiny. I don't think about it as much though; the rest of my life is still a mystery, so I'm not disturbed by it.\n\nIt was destiny that I'd get 2 points from this question, but is it destiny to get 10 points?

Do not underestimate the power of the human body. Equal to survival is the human need for reproduction. Quite strong. More-so than most average morale and logic. A person who disciplines their mind could overcome. But those who follow their bodily desire like kittens in a field, chasing each butterfly stimuli only to become distracted by the next create the dilemma you bring to our attention. It's not in everyone's life path to do such, for in my beliefs, no matter how unfortunate and saddening to human emotion, all things happen in a finely intricate web of cause and effect, all tying into the same destiny. The chaos that we see, is really misunderstood harmony of what lifes main destiny has in store for us. In a way we create it, but do to our circumstances, there could be no other way for it to be. Such a postulate being out of scope of human emotion, makes for an impossibility for one to feel the need of going throughout life feeling irresponsible for their actions. You're destined to choose but that choice was included in that main web of destiny. Choice and destiny being one and the same. Simply put, Learning to accept and not force our expectations onto others, could only make for the best of worlds, but due destiny has in store what due destiny has in store, which in a sense, is the greatest perfection.

It is difficult to predict what the future will hold for the planet being Earth and the human species.  Humans have the ability of free-will.  We have the ability to preserve what we are as a species and the planet or destroy the creation of one or both.  Currently we are at a cross-roads in spiritual advancement.  The Service to Self people (power, money, great assets, war) and the Service to Others (global community and planetary assistance).  We are moving in the direction of the Service to Others but time will tell if we meet our objective for our evolutionary advancement and preserve the human species and our planet Earth.  Both are beautiful, I hope we do.

Of course.  We are all human and bad things happen!

Yes and no. When you think about fate I think that some people are fated like say a person born with an incurable disease or being born to your parents. Where is your free will in that? Also, I don't go by day to day astrology but I can tell you that I must be the poster child for my astrological sign. The personality is totally me and I usually don't get along with those they say I'm incompatible with. You have options to shape your own destiny but there is a little bit of fate to even it out.

Assuming there is such a thing.\nAssuming that by 'we', you don't literally mean you and I.\nAssuming humanity doesn't destroy itself.\nAssuming the Universe won't end before.\n\nyes.

Yes! But choices still have to be made when we have an encounter with fate,...destiny. The seemingly inevitably succession of events. Its 3:42 am, I was sound to sleep,  woke up, couldn't go back to sleep, so I got on the computer, and "Wallah"...destiny, your question was there out of thousands and thousands. Destiny is not always big life altering plans, sometimes its small moment to moment encounters.

Child of God, yes -- if we could all learn to think of each other with hearts filled with kindness, compassion, and understanding -- this world would be a much better place.\n\nDo I believe that WE can make that happen?  No.  Because evil and hatred are very real, and we can't defeat them by ourselves.\n\nIt doesn't mean, though, that we should give up trying.  Perhaps each of us can make "our little corner of the world" a little better by treating each other with courtesy and respect.  Peace !

the purpose of human life hmmm..even i wonder that...well acc. to our philosophy there are 8400000 species of living forms on earth...of which only the human form has the ability to perform an action or "karma" so we have been given this chance to liberate our souls or thoughts whatever u may call it "aham" or "I".... to get rid from the cycle of birth and rebirth ...that's the purpose...how we got here....coz the universe if u look at it as a single entity...it decided somehow to divide and keep dividing...that's how we were born....when we die nothing great really happens except that it depends on ur actions and the extent to which u have reined in or let loose ur thoughts...it really depends on "U" ...death is just a door to another realm of existence....is there a god...mmmmm no...and yes....a god in the physical sense no ... and god as in the whole universe (including YOU) as a single entity ...that's god...hip hop is good at times for me :) well neither the 50 cents nor the game for me...i'm indian :) before we were born .... we were souls fighting with other souls to grab that oppurtunity of human birth when the seed was laid....the universe is infinte ...no one knows the size ....not even god.....something like ...do u know how good can u be????....:) \n\nhope this answers at least some of ur doubts...

I believe that God is love; and this love is full and free. He wants everyone to share in  it as He died for all mankind. He gives everyone a choice and expects them to exercise their freewill. As for destiny, I believe that I should consult God for His will so that I will make righteous decisions and fit into His plan for my life. An example is that I am in this locale because God designed it that way. I went from journalism to banking to teaching. When I was 14 I said I wanted to be a teacher.  teaching is my vocation or calling.Because I am a teacher, I became eligible for employment in the region from where I am answering this question. It is like a puzzle with thousands of pieces; and we can try to do it all by  ourselves or ask God for His wisdom and guidance. I have chosen to ask God to help me; and He does every time.

Yes it seems to be.  But be very wary!  If we don't take care of ourselves first we will end up the way the Romans did....gone

Both. And I quote. "Fate is the path we are destined to take. Choice is how we get there". Make the right decision and the rest will fall into place.
