So, sitting in class today learning about the biochemical machinery that leads to transcription via RNA Polymerase…I wondered the following: What if the world were populated by robots instead of humans? Now, these are robots with robot humanoids, robotic animals, robotic plants, etc… I mean, we know practically nothing about how or why things work in our bodies…but when we think of machines, we designed them, so we know how they work and why. So if these machines did not have knowledge of their creator, or if they simply arose on their own somehow, would they find it just as difficult to figure out how and why they work? …even though, inherently (since we designed them), they “work” on a less sophisticated level than our organic bodies? Would these robots have the same questions about their origin as we do? Would they have to learn about how they function, or would they care?
…I gotta get out of here…
the real question is what kind of implications would the answer to this question have?
…I don’t even really know what the question is…I had a hard time forming it into any sort of statement at all, honestly… đŸ˜›
bliggabliggablop….that’s what my brain just did. trust me, that is the question to solve all questions. but so is why is cheez wiz gross before it comes out of the little sprayer thing…behold life’s mysteries. i hope you get to come up this weekend! i miss you sassy
The real question is where did all these robot things come from? The obvious answer is some kind of robot god.
