Human Behavior


"Bless all forms of inteligence" For those who have already seen Animatrix, this could be a well-known phrase, for those who have not, it is a phrase that is in The Second Renaissance II animation. I think this is a very important phrase, it doesn't matter if you are organic or mechanic (ok, just following the story of the film). But indeed I think we should respect all forms of life, yep, belive it or not even plants are intelligent, well, in their own way, at last that's what I think. Anyway, Animatrix, and more exactly The Second Renaissance shows a very interesting world, robots are as intelligent as humans and they have feelings too, so, I think they deserve the same rights that humans. This is importat because humans use to feel that they are the most important creatures in the whole world, even in the whole universe. I suppose that every inhabitant of the world is important in a single and special way, and that's way everyone of us deserve respect, at last we all live in the same world, but it is also true that we need to take care of our Home-world. Maybe this was a green thought but it was in my mind so I wrote it.

This has always been a really polemic topic.

If I buy a TV, I own it, right? If you own something, you can do with it as you please. It's just a thing.

If I build a TV, I still own it.

If a build a TV, and program it with a real intelligence, but no feelings or personality, do I still own it?

If I build a sentient being, with feelings and a personality of its own, do I own it? Is it alive? Are, for example, C3PO, R2D2 and Terminator, alive?

I know this is a never-ending debate, but I'd like to read your thoughts about it.
