Word of the day

T

Tariffs.

It’s a hugely significant word, for what it signifies.

“The tariffs have brought peace to the world, I’m telling you. They have brought peace to the world.” – Donald Trump, POTUS

Question for AI:
What is the one word for sacred walking everywhere you step?

AI answer:
There is no single English word that precisely captures the meaning of "sacred walking everywhere you step" in the sense of the act itself making the ground holy. The concept is generally described using the term pilgrimage or as a spiritual/contemplative practice.

Comment: The word "pilgrimage" is pretty good. A pilgrimage to Truth. However, I think proper mindfulness, which includes mindfulness during and after the foot goes in your own mouth but not before you stepped in it (as the saying goes), or stupidity which reveals itself to retrospective consciousness, is superior to the lollygagging that a pilgrimage can encourage, especially if it's an extensive journey to some other place special.

A pilgrimage suggests a journey toward some predetermined holy location. But is the Truth predetermined? A quest for truth is a journey into the unknown.

Because of ... Aha.

Question:
AI, what is Aha?

Interesting. Without context, AI wasn't even close to the dictionary definition, although it did make a quite an effort over the three letters.

Apparently, humans and AI both need aha context and objective dictionaries do not.

Philosophy = Aha

Huh?

Aha is a half hearted guffaw

There's room for truth in the known, but equanimity spontaneously recognizes the truth in each moment rather than making all moments equitably the same, while at the same time unknown truths that are abiding in another may remain hidden ...

... until transmission frequencies change.

Ah, that means that the feminine equivalent of aha is the hee, from the femine tee-hee, (he said, avoiding titter).

Interesting. Fanny is a real woman, which out of context could be taken most any way.

Question to AI:
AI, who was Nick Faldo's caddy when he won the Masters from Norman?

AI answer:
Nick Faldo's caddy when he won the 1996 Masters against Greg Norman was Fanny Sunesson. Faldo overcame a six-stroke deficit in the final round to secure his third Masters victory.

Sunesson was a notable professional caddy and was on Faldo's bag for all four of his major championship wins in the 1990s. She was the first female caddy to win a men's major golf championship.

Comment: The amazingness of what Faldo did can only be understated.
