Some things a machine will never be able to:

- spontaneously ask itself where it is coming from

- spontaneously ask itself what it will become after its own destruction

- having spontaneous thoughts

- having free will

Why do I say spontaneous? Because our thoughts aren't coming from our mind, but from our soul (that is, from the principle of life, which is invisible by nature).

Come on, these are all obvious things; humans, don't believe blindly in science, science is not a religion(!).

A machine could (in theory) more or less be similar to animals, though.



But we do all those things and we are machines. Biological machines, yes, but still machines.


Your are a biological machine? Really? Exclusively?

Who did convince you of that? Science?

Science is only science, science very often is wrong, and has to correct itself, sometimes decades, or even centuries later.

I know that I'm not a biological machine. I know that there's a voice inside myself that asks many many more questions than any science will ever be able to answer.

Now, where do these questions come from? Certainly not from my brain. My brain is not able to ask questions beyond its own capabilities.

So, let me repeat the initial question: are you a biological machine, and nothing more?


BTW, I can ask all of these questions without going into tilt, and without having any biological malfunction.

So, these are all valid question. If I were a "biological machine", someone would already have called for a "biological" doctor...
