You are not the first “boy” I have met who desires to be Pinnochio, though it is usually the other way around.

Like “Data” aspiring to human emotions.

Or R2D2 and C3PIO being given personality traits.

Hopefully your regress into/embrace of naturalism will be rewarded with survival (if you happen to be one of the fittest).

You still haven’t begun to address in any way, shape, or form the freedom and choice of humanity from a scientific “physics” perspective — and I’m not sure you even understand what I’m getting at, but I tried.

Happy machinedom!

Thanks, I guess, but I’d rather “regress” into the depths of science, philosophy and knowledge, than desert nomad mythology. Free will is not free, if one is blackmailed into belief by eternal torture, the very concept of which is rather reflective of Man’s primitive urge to control others by way of substitution and / or of malevolence of the said, created “divine” entity all Semitic religions speak of.

I can only hope that you, and others, continue to challenge and question your beliefs every moment you can. So will I.
