Knowledge without redeeming value leads only to a jaded empty shell of nothingness [pretty much what you are finding we are isn't it..."nothingness", under the name of firing neurons of course]. When in the middle of a charade, the game can be quite fun. The nanotech processes of "life" have evolved very deterministic ways of promoting that "life", at all levels.

...>Art http://home.ptd.net/~artnpeg If folk lore pronounces something, anything, then it is most probably wrong. Thus the category "life" is wrong and may be discarded. I have. There are nanotech structures that function globally as "life" was described, but the category "life" is too biased by folk lore legacy to be useful, scientifically. To use it today is a form of cultural hand ...

... Thus, giving a machine a self, with "conscious" experiences and the hubris to claim selfhood, is a matter of brain structure detail. Ray Kurzweil predicts that using future nanotech guided brain scanning it will be possible to scan brains in extremely fine detail and duplicate them in electronic machinery, so to speak. He imagines having his brain scanned, for example, and creating ...
