What is life? - Abilty to procreate ? Ability to think ? Ability to feel ?
Would a robot or a computer who has been trained to feel, have life ?
What is consciousness? Would such a computer be conscious ?
The famous Chinese room thought experiment by J Searle !
What is thought?
“What’s the most resilient parasite? An Idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules.” (dialogue spoken by the character Dom Cobb in the 2010 film “Inception” . . . written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan)
What is a dream ? And what is reality ?
Is the world real ? Are you sure you are not living in a dream ? How are you sure ?
Who is to say that we are all not living a dream ?
What makes your dream more real than mine ? What makes your reality more real than mine ?
"Dreams are real as long as they last. Can we say more of life?" - Havelock Ellis.
