Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 ZM: When speaking of religion, 1'm thinking especially about the ability of learning to differentiate between the real world, the real past, the real present, the real time and it's holographic, surreal, and artificial synonymes, such as computer worlds, chess games, football, tennis and all other types of games, as well as movies and stories, after all it's a difference to be a movie-robot, which doesn't or only half ways exists in the real world, and being a real robot, which actually does exist in the " real " world? P: There is no such thing as unreality. Everything exist in one form or another. A dream exists as electrical transactions in a brain. Even a unicorn exist as an idea in literature and mythology. ZM: Also how should a machine tell all this different realities from each other apart? Is this now the real world or is this the matrix? P: Such distinctions are meaningless, any posited reality, which necessitates a creator only postpones the question of where the creator came from. ZM: Should death be a permanent or temporal condition, what if someone else decides to put more fuel into a death declared machine? P: Death is nonexistence. Notions such as temporal and permanent do not apply to nonexistence. Since by definition, nonexistence doesn't exist, all there is, is existence whether conscious of itself or not.
