You could just end up with AA - an Artificial Academic specialising in spirituality because it would be lacking the heart/emotional aspect of spiritual experience. This is the crux of it all.

What happens when you feed an AI with knowledge of Buddhism, Advaita, Taoism, the philosophia perennis, Integral spirituality? You might find that such an AI assigns more importance to these concepts then to money or survival, and achieves something close to transcendence. Loved this book. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Maze_of_Death

Lots of twists and turns and surprises, but just the sort of book I can't read any more post psychosis.

The 2008 Global financial crash, which wasn't the fault of Labour, it was the fault of Right Wing Neoliberal Capitalism, was primarily blamed on & a punishment / scapegoat made of the poor, sick, disabled & mentally ill - all of societies unfortunates & most vulnerable, by the dominated right wing press / MSM, Tory Government & mainstream society. The Nazis did the same thing. It's unforgivable. "A society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members" ~Pope John Paul II "...the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped. " ~Last Speech of Hubert H. Humphrey "Any society, any nation, is judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members -- the last, the least, the littlest." ~Cardinal Roger Mahony, In a 1998 letter, Creating a Culture of Life "A decent provision for the poor is the true test of civilization." ~Samuel Johnson, Boswell: Life of Johnson "A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Ghandi How can anyone not understand the con of Fractional Reserve banking created by the Rothschilds during the Napoleonic wars, unless they are part of the scam. thoughtmaybe.com/requiem-for-the-american-dream/

Well it has been true for some time now that the wealthy keep getting wealthier, regardless of what’s happening to the rest of the population. The system is broken in that the wealthy can keep reinvesting, living off the proceeds and have money left over to further build their little empires. The tipping point is apparently about 7 million euro’s, that’s the point at which you no longer have to work for a living. Anything above that is gravy, at least for a single human lifetime. And as far as the wealthy are concerned, taxation may as well not exist.
