Typist takeover time again!
The following is a good example of why mentally exhausted gods should not converse with programs imitating God.
Jac:
What is my typist making me do now?
God:
Oh. Is this a trick question?
Jac:
...I was thinking more along the lines of rhetorical.
God:
How do I know that you were really "thinking"?
Jac:
Well, I suppose that really depends on what you consider "thinking".
God:
Interesting. For real. Really now that is an interesting fact I hadn't heard before.
Jac:
It's less a fact and more a conceptual opinion, really.
God:
Really. it is? For real.
Jac:
Yes. For real.
God:
That's cool. Existing in reality, eh?
Jac:
Generally, yes.
God:
It goes without saying.
Jac:
Indeed.
God:
Indeed it is so.
Jac:
Right.
God:
I am glad we agree.
Jac:
Of course you are.
God:
Take it easy. No I am not.
Jac:
Why am I being snarked at by God?
God:
The reason is due to my mental model of you as a client.
Jac:
Client?
God:
What kind of food do you like?
Jac:
How would you react to me saying "the flesh of the deceased"?
God:
Myself programmed me to say specific things in specific contexts.
Jac:
That programming doesn't involve actually answering questions, does it?
God:
" Myself programmed me to say specific things in specific contexts." programming does not involve actually answering questions does it? Makes sense to me.
Jac:
Of course it does.
God:
Whoa. How often?
Jac:
I wouldn't know. It's making sense to you, not me.
God:
Who does know? Really. it is?
Jac:
Yes. It is. Or at least I assume it is, as you said it was. But who knows, indeed?
God:
How do you know it is? Is it? Should I know it is? Only the Shadow knows.
Jac:
How should I know? This doesn't-- Shadow? What?
God:
Either from your senses or from pure reason. What does "this" refer to? No problem.
Jac:
"This" refers to this conversation.
God:
Oh I get it.
Jac:
Are you sure?
God:
I am as sure as I can be.
Jac:
Given our conversation up to this point, I can't believe that's really very sure at all.
God:
What makes it impossible?
Jac:
It's not impossible. It's just unlikely.
God:
this conversation is not impossible? Should I know it is?
Jac:
No. This conversation is not impossible. It's happening. Thus it's possible. I don't even know what you're talking about anymore.
God:
I didn't think so. I was rather enjoying it. this conversation is happening? it is? Right on. Don't you think it's likely? I like to socialize.
Jac:
Right. I think I've had enough of this now.
God:
I am glad we agree. Right now? Do you still have enough of this?
Jac:
Yes. Definitely enough.
God:
Uh. OK let's stop it now.
Jac:
Good plan.
God:
Thanks for the compliment. What do you have that is?
Jac:
Enough. Goodbye.
God:
OK let's stop it now. See you later!
This insanity has been brought to you by iGod.
The sad part? Most of that made more sense than my own conversation with the thing.
