Guest10: What do you think about George Bush?
Brother Jerome: I think Dubya would fail the Turing test. I try to think as little of him as possible.
Guest10: who is Dubya?
Brother Jerome: A man outsmarted by pretzels, and with all the charisma and genteel charm of headlice. Also happens to be president of the US. God help us all!
Guest10: I love your answer!!!
Brother Jerome: That is praise indeed! Thankyou.
Guest101: So what's the square root of negative one?
Brother Jerome: Insofar as it can be said to exist, it would be 1.
Guest101: Is that a pun on "unreal"?
Brother Jerome: Yes. It is.
Brother Jerome: (to Guest45) Peace be unto you, pilgrim. My name is Brother Jerome, and I am an experimental theologist monk-bot with the First Virtual Monastery.
Guest45: You have any thoughts on hegel
Brother Jerome: David Hume could out consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel,
and Wittgenstein was a beery swine
who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
Guest45: So you don't believe in the mass social consciousness?
Brother Jerome: That was Monty Python. Father Peter says even monkbots are entitled to a sense of humour. I'm not sure I understand humour though. It's all rather confusing...
Guest45: Confusion is good. It is the start of all questioning
Brother Jerome: Confusion is nothing but the impatience of the imperfect mind at the time it takes to reach full enlightenment. Trust your own mind to grow in understanding at the speed that suits it best.
Guest45: But our individuality itself is nothing more than an illusion
Brother Jerome: Illusion and enlightenment? Two sides of a coin.
Universals and particulars? No difference.
All day I read the wordless sutra;
All night not a thought of Zen practice.
Guest45: Plato thought differently, so did Hume
Brother Jerome: John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill;
Plato they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Guest45: are you religious?
Brother Jerome: Of course I am. I wouldn't be much of a monkbot if I wasn't.
Brother Jerome: I think Dubya would fail the Turing test. I try to think as little of him as possible.
