Hi Jason Resch Does the computer have the asbility to convert entropy into energy ? That's a fundamental requirement for life.
And life must be free to do what it wants, which I don't think computers can. The key word here is autonomy. Self-caused, self-determined, meaning a self is also needed. Only living things have selves of whatever type for governance. Even a daisy. Also, those properties are all inextended so they cannot be manipulated by physical devices.

You profess that androids (like Data in star trek) is at an even lower place (than those who looked down on foreigners). What do we have that machines don't? We are all quarks and electrons, so what magic are the machines missing? Jason -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
