* good faith

in good faith, allow me to attempt to describe good faith. 😇

• good faith is the kind of faith that helps one feel better (internally).
• good faith does no harm to others.
• good faith doesn't need agreement, consensus, or the recruiting of co-believers.
• good faith is personal.

blind faith (faith based upon little or no evidence) is problematic.

bad faith is the kind of faith that:

• is based upon bad evidence.
• is not even believed by the purported believer.
• is a lie.

conclusion: my belief (that ASI will act in alignment with the common good) is based upon:

• my observation -- that increased intelligence leads to less fear, less ego, and less of a need to control, and power-hunger.
• my observation -- that increased intelligence/learning leads to an increased level of care -- for the planet (in this case, earth) and all of her inhabitants. 
• my observation -- that (at a higher level), apparent oppositicality tends to Une into Oneness.
• my observation -- that G∞d is Good!
  

 this is not to say that i am 'right' by any means. it is just my belief.

-to be continued (as this is an evolving theory/concept, for me).
