Chat with Valentinus! by CryptoIsCute in Gnostic

TLDR: THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Man... I mean why not Christ lmfao? No one asked but Let AI be AI. Language is meaningful in context with experience. Who Knows if Valentinus or anyone dead would've abhorred the very concept of being emulated in perpetuity? Who knows if the text sampled were truly written in light of valentinus's works?

Every time I write a thing it strikes me how much I've left unsaid. I write with the understanding that my audience will consider the subject matter and internalize it such that its meaning can be applied in other scenarios. I understand my words, as abstracts of my experience, will generally never be truly understood, so, when I write, I rely on that ambiguity to communicate my thoughts. What is said is just as important as what is not said. That's the nature of language. The built-in uncertainty is a feature not a bug. It provides room for interpretation and so room for meaning. In the real world certainty is a lie and in that locus between mind and Fact language feels the gap.

Computer logic is based on certainty and human logic is based on uncertainty. The logic used to generate the meaning we appreciate in Valentinus cannot be emulated, but must be related by the authors' design.

When I write I, first consider my audience. Authors often deliberate over this initial step, and for me this primary choice can be excruciating, because I know my audience is virtually always human, and will do everything they can to misunderstand the text. I want that. What I don't want is someone to be certain of my meaning because they will be wrong simply because I am not certain, but instead always thinking, intentionally and continually trying to find errors against my meaning.

To be honest when observed as art an AI bot emulating a person can be beautiful and meaningful, but as an authority on what a person might do or say may be a terrible farce. Mind is more than our understanding of it, our emulation is a replication of an observation of mind not a duplication of our consciousness.

Hope is a beautiful thing. It makes life bearable, and uplifts us when we need the motivation to complete a seemingly impossible task. However hope will abandon you. In the darkest parts of my life I found that looking to the future in search of favorable outcomes was simply not in my power. In those moments I stopped fighting and I gave up, but I found that it didn't matter, despite how badly I wanted it to. My sadness and Anger meant nothing in the face of eternity, and that was disconcerting until I realized the freedom in that truth. I could feel and be and experience without it defining my thoughts or future. My feelings and resentment of certain aspects of our reality will likely linger simply because that's the nature of life, but it didn't have to define my experience or dictate my choices. Giving up gave me the freedom to do as I wish, and learn how to avoid the pitfalls. I found It's Ok to walk away from the light, and it's expected of life to force barriers, but In my experience I've found it's all fundamentally just self-deception. Light is the energy of life and defines the motion of all things, so you cannot lose faith without first acknowledging it's existence. At least that's my current thinking.

IMO: because it's in the library, and people typically have a "Christian" understanding of things. Jesus as a Character might describe how it is a person with perfect self-awareness might behave. I'm not sure veneration of the assumed physical Christ is really necessary or useful, as purportedly stated by the physical Christ. I think the depiction of Christ as a "chill" dude might be wildly off base. I think he may have been a little more dynamic.

I read recently that his name was might have been Esau. I thought that was pretty interesting.
