Would you ever put your destiny into the hands of a robot?

Now, I well understand the majority here are ashiest, and as such, you don’t believe that destiny or whatever else even exists. But I’m simply asking if you would ever put a hard decision into the hands of a robot, and listen to it, or obey it. If you would like to see this invention, check out the destiny spinner http://theorderoftheironphoenix.com/destinyspinner/ .

I want to know exactly why you would/ would not use it. Also, if humans do come to a crossroads in their lives, and we all do, wont this take the guilt out of making a bad decision :confused: Can you blame a robot for ruining or enriching your life?

I’m just curious to see what you guys say. :angry-argument:

If it’s tested and tried, then yes.

Many humans often commit silly mistakes and errors, are tired, drunk, incompetent or has mental handicaps.

But my general question would be more of a " would this system berid you of the guilt of a conscious decision?" Does allowing something that is not you to make decisions for you give you a valid excuse if something wrong happens? Can you put blame on a robot for ruining or enriching your life :confused: =D>

Completely irrelevant questions imo, we alreaday have mechanical heart pumps, and decades old respirators, now we have advanced mechanical prostetics, it’s all there to benefit humans.

It’s far better than having humans doing all the manual work.

That last comment made me smirk, lol . But you are quite right, only the brain makes conscious decision. That must be where the soul is O_O

No, there has been numerous reports about organ transplant patiens wakes up with new memoreis, therefore I’m quite sure that the soul must reside not only in the brain, but also spread out in the entire body.

What is a soul? And do you have any evidence of it?

Scientists in the early 1900’s discovered that upon death, the body lost a small portion of weight. This proves the existence of a soul.

A doctor did, and the results have never been replicated. But clearly, if it has mass, the soul is physical then?

no, robots cannot be trusted because all their decisions are based on binary, and sometimes deicions in lifes are not binary, they are multiple decisoions to make

Yeah, it was a doctor, and even he said the experiments would need to be replicated many times with similar results before anything could be concluded from them. They weren’t.

More Info here.

Not a “soul”, but a “spirit”.
Energy trapped within any body has weight.

The soul is not a spirit nor a physical body.
It has neither energy nor mass.

Yes, it might be a spirit, after all, without something tat occupies the human brain, it is basically useless. This is why humans are all so different, the brain must be where the human spirit (in essence) lies dormant, after death, it’s probably lighter than air, and thus it hovers up into the clouds.

Much like the soul, heaven must be invisible to the human eye, but Im not too sure what you see when you die, people claim it to be light, but oddly enough, when you close your eyes, you can still see something, no? Even in the darkest of places ? I know this is irrelevant to my initial post, but the whole afterlife thing makes sense scientifically. So does religion.

Have you ever read an article on spectroscopy of the human skin, and how each human emits their own light(spectrum/colour/behavior of spectrum)? I would implore you all to do so. This light must be the soul, so in the end the human soul might be made of light?

If all humans are made of the same thing, this cannot be proven using science, I mean most of us eat the same thing. Even a son/father would have entirely different auras around them. I will write an article on my findings on http://theorderoftheironphoenix.com/wp,my blog, when I get the chance.

:exclamation: Stay tuned, lads :slight_smile:

My conclusion is, the human spirit is a free form of light, it does make conscious decisions and it does exist, you cant refute evidences.

It doesn’t matter what it was, the experiments were worthless and showed nothing.

The brain doesn’t need to be occupied by anything. And Humans aren’t different. We are animals like any other - apes, in fact. There is no evidence of such a spirit or essence.

If it’s invisible, how do you know it’s there? How does the afterlife make any sense scientifically? Science seems to say the direct opposite of what you claim. “You” die when your body dies. Religion makes sense as a natural phenomena, but objects of religious faith are not scientifically verified [or verifiable]. In fact, many are scientifically disputed.

Can you show evidence of this information - an article perhaps? Why must it be the soul?

Diets, physiology, lifestyles, skin pigmentation, etc. all vary from person to person.

You haven’t given any evidence to refute. Just saying something doesn’t make it true.

Consciousness of the imminent moment is all there is. Nothing is just a reaction to that “is ness”. Strictly speaking, there is no “nothing” because it doesn’t have "is ness. What is, is consciousness. That’s all there is. There is no nothing, no death, only transformation. Energy has levels. The lowest to the highest. Highest forms of energy are also imperceptible. Enlightened souls as representations of highest forms of energy are able to play the conventional and the etheric self.

Robots are machines. The car is a semi robot, they are thinking of developing completely robotic cars in a few years. Destiny seems to incline toward accepting robots.

The question is not of trusting robots, but the loosing of identity. If we are to survive as a species, we must renounce most of the parts personality which sets us apart.

The robotic, or conditioned part.

I agree with the guy above me, robots will be the end of human uniqueness , or will they? Robots cannot be taught to evolve their though process, a robot can only be programmed to perform a certain amount of tasks, I remember reading irobot not too long ago, and it stated some very obvious facts, including the fact that unlike humans, robots can never feel or evolve their thoughts, its not possible.

Maybe you should read some new science media, robots uses software and that software can indeed be taught to learn but in very primitive ways.

I Robot was published in 1950 and the stories were written between 1940 to 1950.

I robot might be old, but Robots can never have abstract thought, everything needs to be programmed, they can develop, and solve problems, but they can never identify themselves. Again, I robot is an odd , and unique book that explains this in a metaphorical way. Robots can mimic human emotions, yes. They can mimic problem solving, but they will never truly do either, and they will never have abstract ideas, or see themselves as individuals. A robot is a slave to mankind. Yes, it can be programmed to destroy men, but this is not a conscious decision, if it was, it would have to have a human brain.

There is little evidence I can bring up to support this, but with my basic understanding of artificial intelligence, I see it is very limited. :-$
