>>78829097It's a difference of scale. By the way, on your logic, what's the point of studying Quarks, Gluons, or knowing anything about Planck lengths, etc.? Haven't found a legitimate, tangible use for that, have you? Parasite, wasting my research dollars. And you don't even fully understand the Gluon yet, that's the real kick in the nuts.
Inasmuch as you don't understand how the five forces interact with each other fully, psychologists, psychiatrists, and neuroscientists don't yet understand the full neurochemical makeup of the brain, how it can be altered, and what it means for mental health. But, just like you, we're getting there, and helping a lot of people along the way. Just like you. We really can get along, or we can continue to throw faeces at each other like chimps. Ball's in your court.
>>78829152Megatron has (in most runs I've ever seen) always been similar to General Zod. Someone who follows an otherwise amoral social code, but in order to maintain it becomes positively immoral when faced by a moral counterpoint. That positive/negative theme is fitting for a setting about giant robots, I think. People dislike change from something they are used to, even if it wasn't a positive thing they had been brought up in. Take the incidence of people raised in abusive households who grow up to themselves be abusers. Objectively, they'd just as soon not hurt anyone, but in order to keep their mental equilibrium they lash out. Sad, but poetic almost when you think of the rhythm it creates.
>>78829186I've read recently that a machine has passed the Turing Test. I'm very excited to see where artificial cognition is going, and the implications it has on ethics.
>>78829188It's going to take me a bit to get through the information you've provided, especially because the glitches in the scan make it hard to pick up on the context occasionally, which is a shame because this is pretty insightful, and I'm only a chapter or so in.
