❝ Children must be taught how to think, not what to think…They must be taught that many ways are open to them, no one sanctioned upon its alternative, and that upon them and upon them alone lies the burden of choice. ❞
- Margaret Mead, Coming of Age in Somoa (1928) (via inspiraweb)

SOMA man: but are we still human if we upload our brains into machines??? where is the line between AI and true sentience drawn? I don't know if I can just "exist" like this, not quite human but not quite artificial...
me, half naked and already in the upload chair: simon will you please shut up and flip the switch, I am fifteen seconds away from cybertits and your existentialism is really harshing my vibe
