"The robot wasn't bad or anything; it just wasn't to the customer's liking. It tells you, 'Please, I was just assembled. Please don't kill me, I'm scared!' If you spare this robot, along with many others, you won't reach your dream of becoming a millionaire. If you spare the robot, say goodbye to $10,000 an hour."
You're getting paid $10,000 an hour at a company to disassemble and kill sentient robots who didn't meet the standard. A scared robot begs you for mercy. What do you do?

"We literally are nothing more than chemical reactions."
I see how you're using the word "literally" now: "used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true."
Naw, using it to be literally, and not figurative, and your comment adds nothing to the disussion.
Tell me what you know of kinesins and how they work.
I mean, 22 people agreed with my point. I'm sorry that it upsets you.
I dont look for reddit for validation; lots of stupid folks on reddit, chummer.
Scientists I respect hold my view. Wake me when those 22 people are actual scientists, or can even explain their positions on why think something made up of kinesins, and other tiny chemical constructs, dont qualify as machines.
You said my comment adds nothing to the discussion. Yet weirdly enough, it did.
I don't look to reddit for validation. I was simply pointing out that the point I made was upvoted by people who agreed. That is a measure of a conversation and whether one is adding to it.
Your "appeal to authority" is beside the point, by the way.
Naw, I'm relying on the evidence in record on the subject, and then said that I'm ok with being on the same side of interpreting that evidence as scientists that are respectable.
You are appealing to the authority of reddit here, and with no evidence... Once you werent talking about kinesin-like biological machines I should have said "that's nice, dear."
With that.. that's nice dear.
I don't think you quite understand what the word "discussion" means.
