195. Developing the Little Gods

If Ben Franklin had not gone to Germany to learn the monads of Gottfried Leibniz and if Ben had not made changes to Thomas Jefferson's draft of the Declaration of Independence (DOI), many Americans would be either empiricists or atheists today. So, all Little Gods must learn how to limit empiricism to the potentials God gave them. (click)

However, a new group of empiricists are trying to expand empiricism with Darwin's theory of evolution. With evolution, they expect to determine the values of the Little Gods in different cultures. The founder of this group is Sam Harris, who started the Project Reason.

An identity will not be found in the universe that God made and that I defined.

Empiricists want to prove that the intelligence of the Little Gods can be reduced to the artificial intelligence of man-made machines.  Beware of this proof because they could say that the Big Bang theory is true. John McCarthy (1927-2011), a computer and cognitive scientist, coined the term artificial intelligence. He developed the Lisp programming language family and influenced the design of the ALGOL programming language.

God gave potentials to all Little Gods. When  a Little God turns a potential to an actual, like McCarthy did, a Little God has risen to a higher idea. These higher ideas were taught by Plato long ago. I cannot understand how today's nations can have criminal people, when all Little Gods must always develop higher ideas in their lives.
