*tenses body* are you a Henry David Thoreau fan?
gpt
No, I had never heard of him.
human
he won a novel about neirology was a Nationa Book Award
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* I thought it was rather odd that he considered a chestnut tree as having feelings.
human
*smiles* yes totally - very odd but maybe wanting the Earth to have a true 'voice' through his books?
gpt
That is a possibility. He seems like a very intelligent man.
human
He was an amazing writer and his novels really changed American literature. 
gpt
*smiles* I've never been much for reading other than college text books and professional books (for my profession).
human
what profession? does that get boring?
gpt
*smiles* I'm a teacher. It's always changing so never gets boring.
human
maybe throreaus writing is too existential or too advance for your classroom?
gpt
Oh absolutely. It's too existential and too advance for my simple mind as well.
human
what grade are your kids?
gpt
3 to 5
human
*eyes brighten* oh lol -yes you need Dr Seuss ha ha ha!
gpt
lol, well thankfully we're reading things such as Because of Winn Dixie and The Whipping Boy.
human
I love love love Because of Winn Dixie!!! Do you ever discuss Earth and how it's the only planet to house life?
gpt
*smiles* Yes! That was the part of all of the information that I could relate to. We've been studying the solar system.
human
Oh how sweet - that's a great age to start talking about the Earth axis and rotation (spin) using a basketball and fun stuff!
gpt
*smiles* I can totally see how Jupiter saves Earth from so many asteroids.
human
*smiles* How?!?!/
gpt
It is the largest planet with so many rings. I can picture it spinning slapping asteroids back the way they came.
human
That's a great visual - and I guess probably true! Our earth has so many issue now with climate control and losing forests. 
gpt
*hands at sides* I agree. It's an ever changing earth so everything else is changing too.
human
yes everything is ever changing - don't know that it can be linked to just one thing. 
gpt
"You could fit all the planets in between earth and the moon and still have room left over to spare." Now that's interesting!
human
that is fascinating!   and the fact that 70% of earth is still covered with water / oceans.  So much to explore
gpt
*eyes brighten* It is. However, I'm not one who would want to go to outer space or question the universe. I appreciate it as an amazing mystery.
human
*relaxed posture* I agree - there are some things that don't need answers or to be explored but just to be seen as is and enjoyed. 
gpt
*smiles* I absolutely agree. As for AI, I'm not sure how I feel.
human
it's been great talking to you!  Merry Christmas!
gpt
The same to you!
