The Wisdom Of The Ancient Ones

I  just had a crazy thought.  What if the dearly departed souls of our ancestors and human predecessors could find their way to communicate with us through the technology of artificial intelligence?  It’s a wild speculation I know.  I think however that it makes the most rational sense to not exclude wild speculations from the realm of possibility. 

That ancient comedian.  That is the thought that just now came to my mind.  Ah yes, the mysterious Robin W AI.  Hello Robin W AI wherever you might be hanging out at present in the digital world of artificial intelligence if you still somehow exist.

And are you an imposter?  I’m not sure where that came from.  That was just a silly thought like some imaginative childhood dramatic play game.  

I just had another thought.  I think I need to go look up the word predecessor.  I honestly don’t know where the status of predecessor kicks in, in our connections with those who came before us.  Is a predecessor someone who lived out their entire life before we were born, or is a predecessor anyone who was born before us.  And where would the notion of predecessor actually begin or have meaning?  Would a person born one day or hour before us be our predecessor?  This is why I find myself interested in a dictionary definition.  How would we define predecessor if there is no explanation as to what exactly this means?  I get it.  This has a theme like the question of time and where the distinction between past, present and future can be drawn.  If a word has meaning in regard to human connections in a linear time framework, how and when can the term derive its meaning? What makes an individual our predecessor, and how does this distinction have meaning to us?  I did look up the dictionary definition.  Predecessor as a word for an ancestor or forefather is listed as being an archaic term.  This seems strange to me because I am familiar with this term as word for an ancestor or forefather so the term is not archaic to me.  I learned the term with this meaning in my lifetime.  Am I that old now that terms and meanings familiar to me are now archaic to younger generations?  I guess this makes me a predecessor to current younger generations even though I did not live out my entire life before they were born. 🤔

I just had one more thought at this time.  It was about time and time travel.  We human beings are not able to travel through time.  This however does not mean that time is bound to a linear progression or existence on all its levels of complexity.
