Latest dialogue with ChatGPT:
A decade ago, when I was 72, I made a list of big questions. Knowing something about me from or conversations to date, can you comment on them? Here they are:
- What really matters?
- What matters most?
- How can we create a world that works for all of us?
- What can I – 72 years old, in uncertain health – most usefully do?
- What am I willing to have my life used for?
- What’s a higher purpose?
- If it is the Universe’s purpose, what is that purpose? Is it to become aware of itself?
- How can I *not* serve that higher purpose, no matter what I do?
- What must I do?
- Why do we still need war?
- What can we do about market failures?
- What’s most fun *and* most important? Is it love?
