ANONYMOUS TEXT

ANON MEME

It's honesty hour again, Gennies! We can all be honest (or honestly have fun) and not have to worry about what anyone else thinks when our identities aren't tied to what we're saying, so only comment anonymously! Rules:

1. Only reply with anonymous text! If you say something logged in, I'll freeze the thread and put a black market bounty on your head for ruining everyone's fun. Depending on how annoying you are about it, we'll see what the bounty is for- a mugger or a hitman or something in between. So play nice.

2. Put thread topics in the subject line. Don't get off topic, if you want to talk about something else start a new thread. I'll throw a few discussion topics up, but you can feel free to bring up your own, namedrop people to talk about them, whatever you want.

3. If you bring up personal problems don't whine when people give you answers you don't like.

Those are the only rules, get going.

{ OOC NOTE: All replies to this post are automatically considered anonymous unless otherwise stated in the subject line. If you intentionally have your character reply while 'logged in' Emerald really will freeze the thread. This is essentially an IC anon meme, except it's actually in-game because Emerald is bored and likes to stir shit- she promises they were being twits anyway). }

You want to argue that a synthetic creation, programmed for a function, isn't alive.

A simple animal has been evolved to instinctively find food and reproduce, nothing more. Yet it is alive.

However. A sentient animal, such as a human, makes choices independent of instinct. This is free will.

Likewise. Other sentient life has the ability to choose, independently, and perhaps even contrary to any programming.

Now you will type like this

"but you only think you have a choice because you were programmed to

so I'm clearly better because I'm an ugly bag of mostly water"

So your question, and my answer, is useless here.

holy moly strawman much?

you missed the entire element of soul. human hands can't create a soul, period. it's not something you can grow in a lab or synthesize. there's no formula for it, no blueprint, no schematic.

you might be as close to being a living thing as you can possibly get, and kudos for that or whatever, but you're not.

sorry, not sorry.

Those who can sense souls, have sensed mine.

I'd offer to demonstrate, but I hope I never meet you in real life. Ever.

i'm SURE they did.

you know what the best part about anonymity is? for all you know... we've already met. :)

Perish the thought.
