No non-human will ever have a human feeling or thought. Biologically or technologically enhanced humans - certainly. Augmented reality and diminished reality, spectacular extension of human intelligence - absolutely. I am optimistic about the increasing utility of technology - but I am not optimistic that Pinocchio will become a real boy. Pictures of water won't make plants grow either. Not because of any magic or specialness about biology or carbon or any horseshit you will accuse me of next, but simply because it is a category error to build an experience from the outside in. Experience comes from the inside out. > - then we will have "solved" > the problem, in the practical sense that no one will care about it in > general terms but > will discuss it in technical terms the way biologists discuss protein > production and > messenger RNA and DNA error correction but no longer discuss "what is > life?". > You are welcomed to think that if it makes you feel better.
