Why is that a worry? What's wrong with being machine-like?
I feel like this attitude reflects a bias against machines and machine-like people that could lead to discrimination against them.
- thelastwave 6y agoThe fact that I just got downvoted just proves my point. This sort of bigotry is very real.
- wcarey 6y agoMy particular objections to people being made machine like are rooted in a Christian conception of the inherent worth of humans as being made in the image of God (who is not a machine). Being machine-like impedes our progress towards our telos.
- thelastwave 6y agoTBH, it would seem to be our telos, the way things are headed.
