Difference between man and machine

Answer 1

Machines are made of electrons, protons, and other basic fundamental physical particles which follow the natural order (physical laws) where as man is composed of these physical particles plus some thing more which gives man free will. This free will is exercised by the "I" in a person and as an example to understand this notice people use the expression "I made the choice" and many other similar expressions. A machine can be programmed to say "I made the choice" but we know that no one within the machine is responsible for that choice where as in a person we say it is the "I" that is responsible. This entity "I" is a single indivisible entity which has limited free will (i.e. has power of intention with limited free will) and consequently this "I" is different from the assumptions and understanding we have about the basic particles of matter. Note that though matter follows the natural order but at the energy level of Planks constant matter seems to exhibits random behavior (leading to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle) which can be misunderstood with matter having free will but being random is different from having free will because an entity with free will will create its own unique order where as a random entity will lead to nothing except randomness (i.e. at all times be random). Consequently the "I" is a single indivisible entity with limited free will and as a consequence people create their own unique order in their life (remember George Bush and the "new world order" he wished to bring about). The "I" in a person has at its disposal a mind, knowledge, feeling, body, and many other abilities. The "I" is the one responsible for a person actions and is the entity that continues over time even though all parts of the body (atoms & molecules) change. Interesting material science tells us that peoples bodies change their atoms completely every 7-9 years. In view of this the question is who continues over time - answer "I" do.

For a person to realize the existence of their "I", please try to honestly and with critical thinking answer the following questions about your self:

1) Question: Who is alive? Answer: "I" am alive.

2) Question: Who sets the purpose to your actions? Answer: "I" set the purpose to my actions.

3) Question: For whose interest does you brain work for? Answer "mine"

4) Question: Who was the witness of your life experience? Answer "I" was.

5) Question: What is the greatest constant of your existence? Answer "me"

6) Question: Who is responsible for your actions? Answer "I" am.

7) Question: For anything that you believe in, who is the one asserting the belief? Answer: "I" am the one believing in ...

Finally please think about the famous statement from Rene Descates: "I" think therefore "I" am.

To enhance the realization of your "I", please consider the following mind experiment (i.e. please use your imagination to evaluate different situation). Question: what could happen in yourself that would disable you to realize your "I"; answer the presence of total disorder and randomness in yourself. Conversely it the presence of some degree of order in your thoughts, intentions, feeling, purpose, your will that enables you to see realize yourself.

Hope you find the pleasure of realizing your existence!!!
