Who wrote this?
*any* ideally correct machines is unable to recognize the fact that
they are machines.
Just someone on a Facebook thread, I forget who.
Anyone who says yes to the doctor then cannot be an ideally correct
machine.
Almost correct. Anyone saying "yes for scientifically justifiable
reason" to the doctor cannot be an ideally correct machine.
You *can* stay ideally correct if you are aware of the leap of faith,
and "prey" a little bit.
That is why I insist on the "theological" aspect, (cf the needed
faith) and why the ethic of comp is the right to say "no" to the doctor.
