We are machines. We just haven't evenly accepted it yet.
Our biology is mechanical, and lay people don't possess an intuition about this. Unless you've studied molecular biology and biochemistry, it's not something that you can easily grasp.
Our inventions are mechanical, too, and they're reaching increasing levels of sophistication. At some point we'll meet in the middle.
This is the truth. And it's also the reason why this stuff will be in court until The Singularity itself. Most people will never be able to come to terms with this.
100% this. Labor and all these other concepts are outdated ways to interpret reality
Humans are themselves mechanical so at the end of the day none of these issues actually matter
