RE: Psychology Addict # 55 | The Role Biology Plays in Defining Who We Are - A Critical Discussion.

that self-awareness is not the absolute prerogative of humans alone.

Oh! I agree with this too Sammi :D, but Schopenhauer does talk about morality and compassion in his writings. Not in the context of love, though. Poor fellow. He didn't do well in that department!

Sammi, you are one of the people who instigated in me an interest in technology and AI. My understanding in this field is very tiny. But, you know better than me that there is a great possibility that that is what awaits us in the future.

Whether, technology will completely take over, I don't know, but that our existence will not be purely based on biology. Most certainly not! Look at those drone bees you wrote in one of your posts! Not long ago I came across an interesting article about post-natural history.

It reminded me of you actually. Perhaps you could put something together about this topic here on the community for us? :D

Sending you lots of love from Portugal Sammi.
It's been very hot lately :O

Interesting dialogue that I may engage in if it's allowed.

I think since man's ability to light a fire and use a stone as a knife, biology is no longer solely responsible for our human actions and relationships.

If you are interested in AI and perhaps would like to see some of the myths refuted: Here is a recommendation from me:

https://www.wired.com/2017/04/the-myth-of-a-superhuman-ai/

I was honestly impressed afterwards. It's a different article than the usual ones about artificial intelligence.

You are always allowed to engage in any dialogue around these quarters Erika ❤️.

Thank your for the recommendation. I will indeed look into it! It’s very much appreciated :) :*

Yes, do that. I am curious what you are going to think afterwards. Maybe one day we can have a little exchange about it :)

The drone pollinator is just about the least, compared to what is coming.
I remember one of Elon Musk's predictions that a major world war will be triggered by the battle for superiority in AI. As hard as it may sound, a time is approaching when every of our human abilities (cognitive, psychomotor, and efferent abilities) can be replicated artificially by tech.
I've researched a lot about machines (and human interactions with them). However, whatever we have seen so far in AI is just at its infancy. Imagine what will happen when ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence) emerges... biology might be on the brink of being dispensable. Well, let's hope it favours us.

Thanks for the link you dropped Abbey, I'll quickly read it up.
Lots of love from rainy Nigeria.

Thank you for all this info Sammi. It is thanks to you I am venturing into this field a little more (I know so little). I feel it's so important! :)
