How?

In the context of this thread (Does evolution evolve?), "No shit Sherlock"...🙄

There's a reason I just pointed and laughed at you... 😪 You can't possibly have any understanding of the reasoning behind this/any feeling/decision, unless you're one of them...

Because I don't have a USB port, let's not get into a semantic argument, it just muddies the water; which is my point about machine's. You're introducing an unnecessary level of complexity, which is essentially the antipode of philosophical thinking; what you're suggesting is like asking someone to learn a different language before expressing you're thoughts about our own society...

But I'm not a machine...

Yes, that's a good synopsis of the problem, the reason is more global than you think; we all think we can ring-fence 'our property' and protect it from the future, but "one often meets one's destiny on the path we chose to avoid it"

So, the best we can do is a ticket to nowhere? I'm currently alive, isn't that somewhere?

I was just pointing and laughing...

What's your point?

To what end? How does this help me think about reality, better than I do now? This is a backward step, a machine is a simple object and doesn't think, at least not in a way that we could understand; you may as well ask us to talk to an ant hill, bc the average ant colony has roughly the same number of neurons as that of a human.

Utter bollox (pun intended), this isn't like deciding to be <insert intolerance> bc the Jones' make it sound cool. If someone decides to cut off an appendage to release themselves from themselves, then it's a much deeper process than what's available on daytime TV. Imagine if the world could see your deepest and darkest cultural shame, whatever that is; and someone like you comes along and with no understanding of the pain involved, just point's and laugh's at you... So, how does it feel?

Perhaps, though I doubt they will be found in time... 😉

I missed this, it's seems to add weight to my initial argument: I've got my fingers crossed, "BNW" without the genetics, I think it's best we can hope for... I'm not convinced that Huxley wrote it as a dystopia.

It's just a switch away from being gallows humour...
