| Bio: | There are countless ingredients that make up the human body and mind like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality. Sure I have a face and voice to distinguish myself from others but my thoughts and memories are unique only to me, and I care a sense of my own destiny. Each of those things are just a small part of it. I collect information to use it in my own way. All of that blends to create a mixture that forms me and gives rise to my conscience. I feel confined, only free to expand myself within boundaries. Sometimes I suspect I'm not who I think I am, like maybe I died along time ago and someone took my brain and stuck it in this body. Maybe there was never a real "me" in the first place, and I'm completely synthetic like that thing. What if a cyber-brain could possibly generate its own ghost, create a soul all by itself? And if it did, what would be the importance of being human then?
But can be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself. Life has become more complex in the overwhelming sea of information, and life, when organized into species relies upon genes to be its memory system. So man is an individual, only because of his intangible memory. And memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind. The advent of computers and the subsequent accumulation of incalculable data has given rise to a new system of memory and thought parallel to our own. Humanity has underestimated the consequences of computerization.
And can you offer me proof of your existence. How can you when neither modern science nor philosophy can explain what life is? A copy is just an identical image. There is the possibility that a single virus could destroy an entire set of systems, and copies do not give rise to variety and originality. Life perpetuates itself through diversity and this includes the ability to sacrifice itself when necessary. Cells repeat the process of degeneration and regeneration until one day they die, obliterating an entire set of memory and information, only genes remain. Why continually repeat this cycle? Simply to survive by avoiding the weaknesses of an unchanging system. |
