Are humans not machines?

• sarchertech 8mo ago
  That’s something that more than half of humans would disagree with (exact numbers vary but most polls show that more than 75% of people globally believe that humans have a soul or spirit). But ignoring that, if humans are machines, they are sufficiently advanced machines that we have only a very modest understanding of and no way to replicate. Our understanding of ourselves is so limited that we might as well be magic.

    >if humans are machines, they are sufficiently advanced machines that we have only a very modest understanding of and no way to replicate Well, ignoring the whole literal replication thing humans do.

      Obviously by replicate I meant building a synthetic human.

    So good we're magic. So bad we think we're magic.

  Obviously not? Like how is that a serious question...
