Momaw Nadon: First, I must say that humans or sentient robots will never be God.

inquest: Which is why they shouldn't try to play the part.

Momaw Nadon: Is it wrong to want to rid the world of disease and hunger? Is it wrong to want to put an end to human suffering? Is it wrong to want to live forever (or as long as we want to?

inquest: There's nothing wrong with wanting any of these things. Playing God in order to achieve them, on the other hand, is another matter.

King Prout: ah. so you ARE against medicine, high-efficiency food production, labor-saving technology, and any means of extending life. On religious grounds. In other words: A Luddite. very good: nice to know where an opponent stands.

inquest: Ah, so you CAN'T read. Good: nice to know when I don't even have to waste time with an opponent.

Before I bother to parse your posts in this subset of this thread, I will flatly state that I can read very well, and that the evidence provided above fully supports that assertion.

Fine by me if you want to write sentences like the one above that contradict themselves.
