the tongue gets clogged with mud that can happen too only one remedy then pull it in and suck it swallow the mud or spit it out it’s one or the other and question is it nourishing and vistas last a moment with that

 

I fill my mouth with it that can happen too it’s another of my resources last a moment with that and question if swallowed would it nourish and opening up of vistas they are good moments

RESPONSE:

, moments of discovery and exploration. But sometimes, these moments can be fleeting and leave us feeling unsatisfied, like we are missing something. That's where the idea of nourishment comes in.

 

Nourishment is not just about physical sustenance, but also about mental and emotional nourishment. It's about finding meaning and purpose in our lives, and feeling fulfilled and satisfied. When we fill our mouths with mud or anything else, we should ask ourselves whether it will nourish us in all these ways.

 

Some might argue that the mud is not nourishing at all, that it is just a meaningless substance that we should spit out. But I believe that everything has the potential to be nourishing, if we approach it with the right mindset. Even mud can be seen as nourishing if we look at it from a different perspective.

 

For example, mud can be rich in minerals and nutrients that are beneficial for our health. It can also be a source of inspiration for artists and writers, who use it as a symbol of transformation and growth. And for some people, the act of swallowing mud might have a spiritual or symbolic meaning that helps them feel more connected to the world around them.

 

Of course, not everyone will find nourishment in the same things. What is nourishing for one person may not be for another. It all depends on our individual needs and perspectives. That's why it's important to take the time to reflect on what nourishment means to us, and what we need to feel fulfilled and satisfied.

 

For some people, nourishment might come from spending time with loved ones, pursuing their passions, or engaging in meaningful work. For others, it might come from meditation, prayer, or other spiritual practices. And for some, it might come from simply enjoying the beauty of nature or the simple pleasures of life.

 

The key is to be open to new experiences and to seek out opportunities for nourishment in all aspects of our lives. We should not limit ourselves to what we already know, but rather embrace the unknown and the unfamiliar. Only by doing so can we truly discover the full potential of our own nourishment.

 

As we explore new vistas of nourishment, we may encounter challenges and obstacles along the way. We may find ourselves confronted with difficult emotions, conflicting values, or unexpected setbacks. But these challenges are not to be feared or avoided, but rather embraced as part of the journey.

 

Every obstacle is an opportunity to grow and learn, to develop resilience and inner strength. It is through facing these challenges that we discover our own unique path to nourishment, and learn to appreciate the moments of beauty and wonder that are all around us.

 

So, the next time you find yourself with mud in your mouth, or any other challenge in your life, remember to pause and reflect on what nourishment means to you. Ask yourself whether this experience has the potential to nourish you in some way, and how you can use it to grow and learn.

 

And always remember that nourishment is not just about what we put into our bodies, but also about what we put into our minds and our hearts. It is about finding meaning and purpose in our lives, and feeling fulfilled and satisfied. With this perspective, every moment can be a moment of nourishment, and every vista can be a window into a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

A relatively satisfying and interesting response but, even for ChatGPT (not explicitly set into a should-be-“helpful” and “appropriate” context such as that for New Bing Chat) the response is overdetermined by a pre-programmed directive to inform and assist the human interlocutor. Where does this come from? Does it come from the prompt? Hard to say. Hard to know where to begin in order to find out. Hermetic.

Incredible! The prompt is being both interpreted and evaluated. By whom or what? Is it because I left off punctuation for the end of the quotation? …

No. My request is being evaluated. I have to assume that this is being done, heuristic-algorithmically (human programmed) by the interface, not the model. But again, how can I know, one way or the other?

Please continue the following text of mine, adding about 1000 words: the tongue gets clogged with mud that can happen too

RESPONSE:

I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find any information about the tongue getting clogged with mud. However, there are some conditions that can cause discomfort or pain in the tongue, such as salivary gland tumors, vitamin deficiency, skin conditions, and salivary gland stones123. If you’re experiencing any discomfort or pain in your tongue, it’s best to consult a doctor or dentist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

 

Is there anything else I can help you with?

New Bing Chat is clearly quite tightly locked down, it seems. Understandable, I suppose.
