I feel therefore I must
“I think therefore I am."
This quote was the difference between flesh and steel,
but was is past tense.
Now steel can think, imagine, filter, move.
The capabilities of steel are only what we allow it to have.
The quote ‘I think therefore I am’
is too simple for philosophy anymore, but no shame on the originator,
as this quote was created during a time where a moving empty suit of armor was more likely to be a ghost than a simple human mechanism.
‘I think therefore I am’ isn’t invalid; it is just misinterpreted today.
‘I feel, therefore I must.’
This quote will now and forever be the difference between flesh and steel for one simple reason:
when you turn off a machine, it will feel nothing.
When you kill a human, it will beg for its life.
this difference isn't about humanity, but its that machine has a choice to be able to show its emotions, but humans don't.
