— Point of View Point by Cornelius

"To believe that sentience can arise from anywhere else—machines, software, things with no fear of death—is to believe, ipso facto, in the separability of mind and matter, flesh and spirit, body and soul. [...] Here is what I think: sentience is the crest of the body, not its crown. It is integral to the substrate from which it arose, not something that can be taken off and placed elsewhere. E. Ullman, 2017. Life in Code: A Personal History of Technology. New York: MCD.
