humans, animals, spirits - oh my
"humans, animals, spirits, nature--they all have the same soul; the only difference is our bodies".
Arguably, in science the soul is now "converging" much like how technology converges at creations such as the iPhone. Many theorize that animals are essentially organic robots, while others venture further to say we even may be advanced robots. I personally think it's next to impossible to define the soul. But I do think that technology could be considered with "humans, animals, spirits, nature" because it is created by humans and is therefore a part of nature. A turtle's impulse to eat is not much different than a computer's will to find data when one considers basic cause and effect. Could future 'self-checkout' machines not be more complicated, and in this sense perhaps have a soul?
Hypothetically, if Kurweil's predictions are anywhere close, then we will have 'human-like' self-checkout machines possibly within the next twenty years (depending on how optimistic/pessimistic you are). I say we turn the debate to finding the soul.
Nice first post.
