Shitpost threads are judged by the scriptures.
If it's Halal it stays, if it's Haram it goes. Keep shitposting to find out where the boundaries lie 14466

The Flood / Re: Thoughts on Cybernetic Military Implements« on: October 26, 2014, 01:06:43 PM »The body is equally as important as the mind. It's a vessel. But the two are necessary. And I'll tell you why in a bit. The mind influences the body. The body influences the mind. But, first, things to do. I'll be back. Lawdy, I think a stray [/quot.e] has messed that up <.< It would appear to be from mine too. But no worries, take your time. 14475

I'm going to do the infamous quote snipping thing, not as it's an argument but because it's better to address each point distinctly <.<
Okay. Let's just sit down a minute here. I knew this was going to lure you of all people here. So let's get down to brass tacks.Heh of course >.> Quote Look at your body. What is it? It's the result of a very, very long line of evolution. A process that's slowly been perfected to the best that it can be made over a very long period of slow, gradual, natural adjustments.The first part is correct, but humans are far from perfect. There are things to consider, bodies grow old and decay over time, your joints wear out and your eyesight will fail. We can use medicine to treat them but it doesn't fix the underlying flaw of natural biology. You could argue that machines fail and decay but at a slower rate, and that's what I would seek. The durability of robotics and the replace-ability of robotics supersedes that of organics. Quote But, what is the most important thing that you're missing here, is that your body clings to life. It fights for survival. Every part of you will fight to the bitter end to keep going. Part of it is a natural, ingrained survival instinct. The other part, is less grounded. But still holds merit.Here I would make the distinction of how I value my gestalt. The body is a vessel to house the mind, very little more. If there is no mind or sentience there then it is simply a shell, lower than that of a basic animal which exists solely for the purpose of continuing it's existence and lineage. The mind however, is so much more. The gift of sentience is to be treasured and prolonged as much as it can be, if that means replacing the organics of the vessel with inorganics then I'm quite at peace with that. Quote We fight to survive. To keep going. And that means, that life, the life we hold, is important. Because if it wasn't, why would we fight so hard to keep it?Of course, and the reason I would replace organics with robotics is simple to continue that fight against death. [/quote] Quote As I said, I support synthetic implants for those who need them.Of course, and some day I will eventually need them. I just see it as preferable to increase my durability so to speak beforehand to minimise the risk of dying before then. Quote But you know what that drive of yours tells me? That want to remove something of yours that isn't broken? Others perhaps, but certainly not I. I wholeheartedly value life and the machine, the Techpriest thing might be a joke but it's not entirely that far removed from how I view technology. If I was gifted with robotics, it would be abhorrent in my mind to abuse them as such. Yes they can be replaced, but the attachment to them would be the same as to my own organic body. You don't treat the vessel poorly because it is simply a vessel, because that risks damaging the contents. Quote So, I pose my wager to you.It is here that I would point to the rapid advances in robotics and bionics where you are able to feel with a robotic hand as if it were your own. And we are still stumbling around in the dark at the moment in terms of the field of possibilities. There is also the fable (wrong word but still) about the broom. If you have a broom and it is formed of two parts, the handle and the brush you have a broom. Say one day the handle breaks, so you replace it. Is it still a broom? Yes. Is it the same as the original broom? Partially. Then the next day, the brush breaks. So you replace it. Is it still a broom? Yes. Is it at all related to the original broom? At this point it isn't. However, this fable doesn't account for the mind. If the broom had a sentience that was as a composite of it's physical form and you did the same thing, the sentience wouldn't be gone but the physical form would be different. The point I'm getting at is that gradually replacing parts of your physical form with robotics doesn't detract from your humanity, which I personally view as being held inside your head. (Brain to be specific). Quote The more you remove from yourself, the more detached you become from the reality around you. Your empathy, your feelings, will degrade because that ancient, primal force in your original body is gone. Your survival instinct, the will to survive another day, vanishes.This is where again, my point about whether the mind or the body is the source of your self. Yes the body plays a role in it, but the mind is what I view as most important. If I do not alter my brain, I don't replace my empathic centres or slice out parts of my prefrontal cortex in the process of replacing my limbs and my internal organs then there will not be an alteration to how I view the world. It might change for others, but the only comparable we currently have is those who have lost their limbs to trauma and not given them up willingly. If you ask someone with an artificial heart whether or not having an artificial heart makes them less human, they would probably be offended but their answer would still be No <.< Quote And when that happens, every door is open to all the darkest things that lurk in our heads.I've already had the misfortune of fighting pandora's box, but I won. It certainly changed me, but even then I don't have that same locked door in my head now, as I've already had to kick the door down and start slaying the monsters >.> (That's simply a colourful metaphor for defeating mental illness, but I'm sure you already know that) Quote So, unless you can create a body part, that can perfectly replicate every single feeling in a finger for example, the tension of skin and muscle, the sting or feel of touch or pain, the ache when moved too far, the tiredness of tendons having to much strain on them, and everything else that you feel, then all I have to say is.I put my faith in science to do so, they are already able to provide touch sensations to artificial limbs so I would expect that in the time it will take me to save up the money for such augmentations it will be refined to the point where it is almost indistinguishable. Quote Your move. Heh, and now it is yours <.< 14477

Mhm, I'm clearly attacking Zesty. And I'm not cutting out and editing posts that do outright attack him either.
