The cybernetics movement has always sat uneasy with me.I don't see how a full transition to improvements in the physical plane will help human beings who are primarily intuitive, feeling beings. We are already disconnected from our bodies, now why would we continue to attempt to augment our minds and limbs with machine parts. I don't want to be a machine, I love my brain. My brain has emergent properties far more complex than any machine, and even if we could build computers that mimicked the brain or parts of the brain, I would like to keep my own. There is no other brain exactly like mine. My brain took millions of fucking years to create-- it's amazing that I'm alive. Machines are not alive. One could attribute a small amount of consciousness to them, if one were especially philosophically inclined, but still machines seem anti-thetical to the way we exist that it seems so wrong to develop towards "merging" with them. I have no trouble using a machine to facilitate the communication and visualization of my ideas, but this thing will not become a part of me.
