RE: The Future of Human Identity
It's like taking a class when I read your posts hehehehe I always walk away with some new insight! :)
I really liked that quote by Szent-Györgyi - love that he proves the conscious awareness in our bodies as a force! hehehehe never thought about it that way!
As far as how far we will take technological advancements to the human.....
oh, that's an easy answer. Humans don't usually stop conquering a field until they destroy all there is. lol. (too pessimistic???? LOL)
but I believe as long as the human is alive - the human is human. I believe in a soul :) I know it is immeasurable - but I believe that's what makes it beautiful and mysterious and never fully-known.
so then that begs the question... if the human is being kept alive - THEN is the human still human? hehehehee
well.... rabbit hole time ;)
I do like rabbit holes :)
It depends if you consider a human being a human being because of 'consciousness' or the soul. If you do not believe this to be part of the consideration then I would say, 'no' that is a biological robot or an artificial intelligence.
It really does press the boundaries though, huh? I've got a few more questions along these lines entering my brain right now. Interesting.
and yet, it's still a human intelligence
Artificial to me, would be one not organically derived, but designed.
hehehehehe rabbit hole activated! :)
