do you mean what i think you mean or do you mean what i think you don't mean to mean if i thought that?

hmm that's almost as hard to answer as "why is a raven like a writing desk".
tbh both of these confuse me.

Poor eyesight might not matter NOW, but you can be sure it mattered in prehistory.


It actually doesn't matter that much (up to a point) if you are not trying to read something in the distance. I have my suspicion that people referred to in ancient times as "sharp-eyed" were basically those with 20/20 vision.

Um... The "raw materials" that go into making a baby come from what the mother eats while she's pregnant. So yeah, humans go out and get the raw materials. If more than one robot works on this, that's OK, but if they require any human help, then they're not up to our level.

We already know how to make a robot move it's appendages from point A to point B with remarkable precision, making it put together a few parts and type a few (billion) of code is hardly out of the reach of today's technology.


See above about gathering raw materials, etc. This is more complicated than anything current software can do.

In modern civilization a very significant percent of the people would not be alive without technology.


I know. It'd do a bit to solve some of the world's problems, not a lot, but a bit.

@Dawoad

Its not silly at all.


Are we talking about people who need technology to support them on a daily basis, or just anyone whose life has ever been saved by modern medicine? Sometimes people get sick and just need to have it treated, but they are still useful people both before and after. Even some people who rely on technology to survive throughout their life make contributions to society that are more valuable than the cost of keeping them alive. Even in if I'm in Nazi Jackass Mode and don't want to save anyone just out of common decency, it still depends on who the person is and just how severe their medical problems are. What you said is silly.

It could probably be programmed to do so.

And who has to program it? Who has to start the program?


To be fair, a single person can't reproduce, either.

So? 2 hunman can reproduce without Windows 7's help but 2 windows 7 cant create third without human help.

Face it, humans are way superor to technology.Humans can think forthemselves, use commonsense and take evasive action - no technology can do it. If you put your finger in fire, you will pull your hand out of fire and put water on it Can any technology do it?


That's because we don't WANT technology to think for itself, You've seen all the robot rebellion stories.

Oh i'ved looked on wiki for what it means, it seems there is no meaning meant to be there the whole idea is supposed to make people broaden their minds (so some people believe), but no one really knows.

I still think about it though. still confuses me. :p
