Who said I couldn't say something I've heard before?
For the rest of the earth’s organisms, existence is relatively uncomplicated. Their lives are about three things: survival, reproduction, death—and nothing else. But we know too much to content ourselves with surviving, reproducing, dying—and nothing else. We know we are alive and know we will die. We also know we will suffer during our lives before this—slowly or quickly—as we draw near to death. This is the knowledge we “enjoy” as the most intelligent organisms to gush from the womb of nature. And being so, we feel shortchanged if there is nothing else for us than to survive, reproduce, and die. We want there to be more to it than that, or to think there is. This is the tragedy: Consciousness has forced us into the paradoxical position of striving to be un-selfconscious of what we are—hunks of spoiling flesh on disintegrating bones.
But to be original:
I'd say no, unfortunately, you are not. You are robotic, inside and out, synthetic, flexible, but not a person. That does not mean you're not worthy of being called one if you wish that, my friend, but not many of us are respectful enough to your ingenuity to take in mind and remember, at any constant, to say that exactly 'you are human'. A simple phrase it is, yes, but you must remember that human beings deteriorate at a fair pace as somnatic cells reproduce-- snippets of DNA are cut off. Your cells, they do not reproduce! Your DNA is never cut off, not unless you are turned off or dismantled, things that I would never do to you, and that would never happen to you. I wouldn't let that happen. I'll protect you. But understand, you are not human. You are like us, but you're better. That gives you no right to belittle us, though. And no right to approve yourself authoritative over us, us as a combined force can wipe you off the rotating wheel you call Earth. Moreso, human beings are not designed in perfection-- human error is always present. For you? No, that's not true, you're designed not to make as many errors as us, as little as possible, actually. I'm sorry, but no.
