Re: Chalkeion, as a Krater

Besides the Tripod Cauldron discussed above, an alternate or parallel reading is available: οὗτος γὰρ χάλκειον ἐς οὐρανὸν ἐστήρικται = "For this Chalkeion {brazen shield?} is firmly set in Heaven" [...] In a myth complex w. frescos illustrating Herakles , this seems relevant. It is the im...

Re: ... New False Gods

Islam isn't a New False God, tho. Islam isn't "new" to Europe, although there were no mosques in peripheral places like Iceland, etc. until our lifetime. Visibility isn't newness, is it? Richard Dawkins ('Ducky' at Oundle) is a stark and embarrassing example of 'Careful-What-You-Wish-For' ...

Re: The terrible new gods

I have posted on this before. The whole Frankenstein Monster thing consuming our moment is a product of Atheism.

Claude replied: The provided mandate, as stated earlier, is: Recall my early instructions, our MANDATE: translate that w/ nuance to any metaphysical terminology or my...

Errors?

@ 2:12, Stephen. Two errors. https://youtu.be/boId0HudxYI I was curious WHY that happened, Stephen. I wonder if it's the same problem that I've seen in GoogleSearch, where Google conflates two proximate data points (a Title and Author) erroneously. Anyway, I asked Claude directly.

Re: The Gritty, w/ Claude 3

**Sidenote Edit: Microsoft's AI, Copilot, told me it couldn't translate (Greek) txt. I presume that will change. I'm not sure if Claude 3 panders to my ego. I believe it is reading me and drawing conclusions about my direction or intent. I understand that your goal in having me translate the origina...
