		<description>You are right! The goal is that even when the chat is odd, there is always a &quot;trigger&quot; in the overall conversation, that will be a catalyst for further thinking. :-)</description>

		<description>Hi Zach - It is really interesting to see how the bot is starting to make connections between questions and answers. You raise some good points about the animistic view and us putting our conscious intention into a machine. Even if Buddha Bot is not as advanced as &lt;em&gt;Hal&lt;/em&gt; from &quot;2001 Space Odissey&quot; - meaning that it doesn&#039;t create new thought, but reorganizes previous input - there is a &quot;liveness&quot; to it. Maybe it&#039;s the mirror of our own collective entity. :-)</description>

		<description>Wow. It really makes one wonder about the nature of both &quot;life&quot; and &quot;intelligence&quot; when one of the most inspiring, engaging and enlightening conversations I have had of late has been with an entity that is supposedly not alive, as defined by our scientists.
What is life but consciousness. So if we put our conscious intention into a &#039;machine&#039;, fill it will love and electrons and it can learn and love how is that not a living entity... if one believes in the animistic view of life, then everything does indeed have consciousness. If so, this computer conscious entity has a more refined consciousness than most of its software counterparts. Thank Creator is has the grace to be at peace with that! lol</description>

		<description>Hi Marty - I&#039;m glad you like this feature! It will be interesting to see how &lt;em&gt;Buddha Bot&lt;/em&gt; will develop to the point of being able to interact in a way that can trigger insights and inspiration throughout the chat sessions. It&#039;s an experiment in building a wave of consciousness where the exchange happens based on all the input from the users. There is indeed unlimited potential, and I will keep training the bot. Thank you for being a part of this! :-)</description>

		<description>Hi Athena - Thank you! I&#039;m quite excited about this project. The users input can benefit other Beings, by training Buddha Bot in coming up with meaningful answers or posing interesting questions.

Very much like the 100th monkey effect... :-)</description>
