Just something to ponder...
A self-aware being called a robot looks at his arm and says,"This is my skin."
The robot's creator says, "That's not skin. It's plastic."
The robot says, "If I cut myself I see blood."
The creator says, "That's machine fluid - oil and grease etc... Your eyes are cameras, your ears are microphones and your voice-box is a speaker. Your brain is merely circuitry - your body is nothing more than manufactured materials."
Now, imagine that scenario with no creator present.
A self-aware being called a human looks at his arm and says,"This is my skin."
Thoughts?
