I would first and foremost say, that the ability to bleed and to feel pain does not make someone human, natural or real. The definition of being “really alive” is not anthropocentric, and in-fact this world is mostly machine. This “physical world” is mostly machine and hologram. A machine can experience systemic stress (“pain”), fluids draining out of the mecha-structure (“bleed”), etc.
As usual this TV show is a game. The TV show is also a tautology because it is based on certain “baseless” foundations, and fabricated initial whole situations.
You’re a machine inside of a big machine, using a machine to interact with other machines.
Only a tiny part of yourself is ex-consciousness/life, a ground up and processed version, and your whole ideology, your ever thought feeling and view, is “false”. Your only improvement or evolution ever to occur comes from immitation.
That would be my “thoughts” on the matter.
