No, its a sloppy quote from an observation made by someone else (very little of my material is original to me - there is nothing new under the sun.) But since most of the people I debate here are idiots it doesn't matter that it is a sloppy quote.
More precisely, all the mechanisms of machines mimic natural processes within human beings. It doesn't matter to me whether you see this or not, understand it or not.
I have long since given up the idea that the majority thinks. Very few even know what true thought really is. Most think it is just words running around in their heads, and this is the problem.
Thought is so very much more.
As Henry Ford said:
Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is why so few engage in it. (another sloppy quote)
Who established this principle and what is their proof?
And I suppose you have a definituon of machine that excludes screwdrivers? Lasers? Nuclear reactors?
