Being sick the last few days —and unable to smell or taste anything— it occurred to me that human being is inextricably linked to those senses and that any robotic futures we might imagine for ourselves would fail to be fully human without them. That is, if you seek immortality and believe it may be had by uploading the contents of your brain into a supercomputer, then what you would be preserving is not human in any meaningful sense, but a soulless, worthless replica.
We are not merely cerebrocortical, but gloriously limbic. Give me my gravity switches and my magnetic alignments and point my pole to true north.
You may keep your robot pussy until that day.
