Issac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics With A Human Adaptation
- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Scratch the word robot and replace with with human. Then we might have something applied to people not harming people. Maybe we can learn how to not to harm one another this way.
Something About Selfishness
The worst attitude is to say I got mine and forget the rest of you. Selfishness is a moral issue in as much as anything. Restricting the rights and freedom of anyone means that everyone is at risk. People are making decisions from a place of their own perceived power with the sole purpose to make life hell for others. There is nothing great about this.
It’s Rained So Much Here in #Chattanooga
I have talked about the intense rain we have had here in Chattanooga and south east Tennessee this week. Well today the effects of that constant rain were made very apparent in how much damage its caused.
This is what is left of a Subway sandwich shop after a mudslide destroyed it. There is so much water in the ground that it just gave way and leveled the building. Fortunately there were no customers inside at the time. Next to it is a popular barbecue restaurant that has been closed for the day for safety reasons.
There is lots of standing water all over the area. Friday the local school system closed out of precaution. We are tired of the rain and hope to dry out in the coming days.
An Important UMC Decision #umc #lbgtq
As a former member of the United Methodist Church I am watching with care the proceedings at the called General Conference in St. Louis, Missouri regarding issues of sexuality and the denomination. This is not a easy time for the children of Wesley but its a time for decisions to be made for the future of their denomination. I support the inclusion, full participation and full access to sacramental rites of LGBTQ believers as I do in The Episcopal Church.
It is time that bold moves to build bridges, create opportunities and help everyone become a part of the life of the community of saints. There is opposition to inclusion and I realize that but I implore a spirit of openness, love and grace be upon those who will be leading this important conversation.
