Saw this movie for the first time finally, i don’t watch movies typically unless I have absolutely nothing else to do, and this one was on the bottom of my list anyway. love the idea of replicants, bio engineered robots possessing human flesh and anatomy. Considering that science has so far not been able to prove the existence of a human soul, I mean just think about it, if we have souls then the ants we crush beneath our feet as we take out the trash must too, making it all rather…. unremarkable. In that way I would choose a programable robot partner over a human any day and not strictly on the basis of procreation. In reality it seems humans are just as much replicants as the replicants shown in this movie, we posses a brain that can learn within a limited scope, self awareness maybe, but what is self awareness if you are not even sure that what you are experiencing is merely a dream? If AI can develop sentience what separates us from them? Beyond the obvious mechanism of conception. I’m interested in mind altering AI, maybe AI will be my chosen field in business. I love the idea of AI that can reprogram our own brain on command, don’t ever want to cheat on your wife? I’ve got you, at the press of a button AI will filter those thoughts out before they even hit your conscious. Want to go to the gym every day and lose weight? I got you, my AI will filter out any negative connotations you may develop as a way to procrastinate going to the gym etc. Technology is a fun field in business but difficult to get into.
The ROI no doubt would be more than worth it. Taking a moment to sharpen my axe, before swinging at the tree.
A high priority for me, will be getting a brain scan done. They are fairly expensive, but I think it could be worth it, and due to the money I put on the line for it, should trigger an appreciation I’ve never had before, for brain health. All I know, 3 hours of sleep, copious amounts of protein, and sexual addiction cannot be good. To be honest, I operate well enough on 3 hours of sleep, no matter what the actual science says, by well enough, I mean I can get myself into my chair and produce outputs, head outside and exercise, come back and produce more outputs, go over my plans for life, exhibit some form of critical thinking, supposedly that’s not possible according to google. So even though I can, I don’t think it’s a good idea obviously. Every single day my head and eyes hurt, I take ibuprofen as well. One personal problem, is, I can be fairly tough and ignore pain signals my brain is sending me, as such I do have a tendency to overstretch myself, in the gym this has the most painful consequences, of which have left me laying on my back unable to even get up for nearly an hour after pulling back muscles. Week after I was back in, similar story slipping a disc in my back while curling weights, neck brace was advised, not only did I say no to neck brace, I was back in after a week. Something I’m reminded of every winter on certain cold days, by feeling like I have a dagger stabbing into the back of my neck. I’m not too concerned with the Idea of dying early, however, I would like the time spent alive, being conscious, not a mental vegetable.
