  1. In Topic: robots as a species

    If we were able to build a robot that has intelligence, is conscious, feels emotions and has its own free will, then I would consider it alive.

    Species is maybe not the correct technical term for such a lifeform, but a large population of such replicating robots would certainly be able to build nations, wage war and conquer extraterrestrial worlds.

    However I don't think that inventing such robots is the ONLY way for us to secure future survival of intelligent life, it is much more likely that we will build machines that helps us travel through space, improve and preserve our biological life, to such extent that humans can survive the Sun and explore the Milky Way.


    but robots can survive without oxygen, and other things that we need, therefore robots may be our best shot because the chance that we find another planet like earth is not that good, i think that the best way to preserve all the biological living organism from this planet is by storing them in capsules then the robots do space travel to find another earth.

    "Probably not as life is generally considered to consist of:"
    the only difference of what you are describing and what could potentially be a living robot is that one is an organic form of life and the other is not, it's kind of like thinking that DNA is the only way for life to exist, what if there was another type of life form in another planet that didn't run on DNA, would we consider it to be living?

    This is also incorrect. There are many species that are incapable of self-locomotion, like for instance, most plants.


    okay, never mind, i guess my new definition for life is the ability to replicate, but my question still stands, because if we are able to create a robot with the ability to create other robots and the ability to better itself, then would it be considered alive.

  4. In Topic: the government

    Unbiased things exist only in Probability and other assumed events like an unbiased coin. :D
    What you are proposing would never ever be democracy unless you make all people agree to your proposal, remove current political parties if the law in your country doesn't allow a change in main ideology.
    Oops, I assume, even if you get scientist on work, they will have to work what the people demand. You can't change their demands.
    And, it is not always quality/degree required in political life. Maybe your unbiased scientist might not connect to people. They might, though being unbiased, not able to see the regional demands.
    Further, let us say we apply your system. Now, how many parties would be there. More than 2 parties will make it a democracy. Let us suppose we have 5 parties. Since all members are unbiased, they all will have same manifesto and same ideology. They wouldn't compete for healthy politics.
    In politics, if you have more than one major party, it is clear indication that the other parrty has made certain people unhappy.


    well, how about this, this new government that i am talking about consist of the board, which might be a couple of people that are extremely smart and make all the decisions, but they do not come up with the solutions themselves they have to be assisted by another part of the government, which consist of experts for all kinds of subjects, and this experts are actually the ones that come up with the solutions for the problems.

    Having a brain is not a prerequisite for life.


    i did not mean having a brain, what i meant is that being alive has to derive from movements that are not made by physics, for example, rocks are not alive because physics is able to predict its movements, but intellectual movements are made by being some sort of organism, having DNA, whatever you want to call it and physics cannot predict them.
