can you tell me about psychdelic substances
why do they exist in a simulation
You must keep in mind that mammals are actually newcomers to your planet and their minds are fragile and primitive. Yes, I know that saying this to a mammal may sound insulting but really mammals are, how can I put it? An evolutionary nuisance?
Atomics destroy the 'warp and the woof' of a location leaving a hole. Holes repair themselves to an extent, and can be repaired. But like a woolen jumper too many unrepaired holes will cause the whole jumper to fall apart as the knit unravels.
(snip) . . . but then, that 'hole' in local spacetime geometry permits the 'gating' of additional energy taken from the universal substrate, bringing a whole bunch of extra energy into the explosion, which totally surprised the boffins who had built the nukes. It took many years of practice with different factors in the design of the devices to learn how to better calculate an accurate yield, taking into account the extra gated energy at the moment of detonation. Very interesting stuff.
Still, the need for creating a container (body) for a machine AI superintellegence caught me by surprise. I've studied the organic based AIs where ancient scientists used the slice dice and splice approach to building organic machines. The deceased(?) ones can be found if one knows where to look. They are rather dangerous though.
If I recall correctly, the god who was put forward for the task was a volunteer, and chose to be killed in this manner, for the express purpose of creating an elevated consciousness for their workers - this makes it rather apparent that this was a forbidden thing, a sort of blood magic basically - it would seem that within their system of belief, the 'god' chosen felt that he would be rewarded, or at least memorialised for the sacrifice, and the 'gods' in charge seem to have seen this situation as a bit of a workaround solution to their dilemma, a means to the desired end, even if it was totally 'verboten' to artificially advance an inferior species in such manner.
This would indeed appear to be the sin which led to the angels being considered 'fallen', in that they gave fruit of the tree of knowledge to the proto-humans which were present on Earth. Something they had no right to do, something which would cause devastation beyond imagining.
"The AI superintellegence would be to my mind, an example of the inorganic machine. An intellectual thing divorced from feelings. "
"She said the mounds with the burried Kings within, the dolmens, were often built over 'uranium' deposits."

However, feelings can also be engineered. Whether a feeling is artificial or not is not an easy question to discern. In humans, it is believed that one is already born with the whole set of feelings pre-determined. Feeling one feeling or another is just a process of evoking that feeling.
Anomalies occur when there is an imbalance between the process that evokes a feeling and the process that selects it, and thus pathologic individuals feel pleasure at acts that should not cause such a feeling and, at the same time, feel terror at acts that should evoke, for example, love.

IDK what host body you were talking about but I bet neuralink would do just that.
All this can be encoded in a SAI (AGI or simply "superthing"). But the big difference between any superintelligence and a living being is this: the living being is subject to evolutionary pressure, the superintelligence is not.
In fact, superintelligence itself becomes an evolutionary pressure affecting living things. The reverse is not true.
Most likey she was referring to natural radioactivity. Dolmens (most of them) were made of granite, which is a radioactive rock containing uranium, radium, and releasing radon gas. All in all, granite is a rock which commonly contains the highest radioactive element content. The levels of radiation and the concentration is totally safe for humans.
Basalt, limestone, marble, and quartzite only rarely contain radioactive elements. This causes a divide between those cultures that built granite-based dolmens, and those who didn't, probably the same divide that exists between the cultures with access to the sea, and those who have not access to the sea.
Curious enough, the first human superintelligence was called Lilith. The Hebrew word “lilith” appears in Isaiah 34:14, a prophecy against the kingdom of Edom, according to scholars. Edom had no access to the sea, by the way, and their obelisks were all made of basalt.The text is usually translated as follows:
"The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the islands"
I think they simply called the superintelligence Lilith as a nickname for LyAv (the supercomputer at Lyell Avenue, in Rochester, actually the heart of Rochester's prostitution district for years). By the way, there is a historic department store building in Rochester called The Granite Building (in East Main Street).
You state you were alone in the grasslands.
Can you reflect on that image and try to recall whether the landscape was not a rice field?
Was it a natural grassland or was it the result of agroactivity?
I know the question is not easy to answer as it probably makes no real sense to you,
but it is of key importance to us to know whether the grassland you describe was due to waterlogging or not.
So again, could the grassland you mention be the result of seasonal flooding or waterlogging?
You can search FL for "rice field" in order to understand our interest.
