NOTE: I do not wish to debate whether it is possible, now or in the future, to create an intelligent, conscious, and fully functional Humanoid life form, what is called an android - For the sake of this post, it is considered inevitable - If you don't believe this is possible please don't respond.
Some intelligent people still don't believe it is possible - A few hundred years ago you could have debated
with these people on flying through the air with airplanes or transmitting speech and images at the speed
of light through what used to be called the ether and they would have considered you crazy.
But people like me are what I call 'Sciencefictionalist' - We cater to dreams of a conceivable, even if not
provable, future - Until proven to be impossible, it is possible.
Specifically, and for today's timeline, I want to consider what it would mean to have a fully conscious
and intelligent artificial and Human like life form - Could most Humans accept the existence of
a life form that is not biological, a life form that does not need to ingest, digest, and excrete other
biological life forms to survive?
Or would Man consider this life form superior to him and try to to suppress it before it
showed that maybe it was superior to him?
This is not pure science fiction - Science is advancing to what some call 'the Singularity', a point
where computer intelligence exceeds Man's
Some surveys have already concluded that Man could not accept Alien beings, and would react poorly
to the exposure of their existence.
But how would Man react to a new artificial life form that he created
- A life form that may one day replace him ???
