First - humans ARE robots and have no soul/spirit, second - you should not treat non-human with disrespect just because it was of another species. Animals have feelings just like you, and in the future an actual mechanical robots might too. Would you still treat AI as it was "a thing", although it could feel, understand and act just like any human being? Because if so, you should treat every human being as thing too.

>> First - humans ARE robots and have no soul/spirit I very strongly disagree with this, but I know on HN this makes me an absurd fool with no data to back myself up with. Ya know, on my myers briggs[1] test that took last year, and also about 20+ yrs ago when I was in highschool the results were the same. I have a strong sense of spiritualness and connectedness. I'll link this blog[2] but I suspect its contents will be dismissed around here as unscientific baseless nonsense. Not trying to change anyone's mind here, just showing how I feel. Maybe some readers will better understand the other people in the world, like myself, who don't think like vulcans[3]. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator 2. https://findingourwayhomeblog.wordpress.com/tag/myers-briggs-type-indicator/ https://findingourwayhomeblog.wordpress.com/tag/myers-briggs... 3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcan_(Star_Trek) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcan_(Star_Trek)

  Regarding the MBTI test, take it with a grain of salt. As for spirituality, if it is how you feel, it's nothing wrong. The way human body functions is not a matter of agreement between people anyway. Also being reasonable and logical doesn't automatically make you emotionless.

  Humans are animals. We are in no way special.
