It is when the half robot on the table is inhabited by the Puppet Master and he basically begins to reveal what life is in his mind. He states his own answer to so many of the questions that we talk about in this class and starts to go on about life:\u00a0&#8220;Life has become more complex than an overwhelming sea of information.&#8221;\u00a0I just enjoyed this quote.\u00a0&#8220;It can also be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself.&#8221; Here instead of comparing a robot to a human in human terms, he dehumanizes DNA and makes it seem more like something possessed by robots or computers. &#8220;Man is an individual only because of his intangible memory.&#8221; here he states that memory is the only thing that distinguishes us from each other and without a memory we are not human. This reminds me of Blade Runner and how it was so important for the AI&#8217;s to have a memory so they would feel more human and act more human. What else besides memory distinguishes us from each other? Our memories are the reason why we act a certain way, they are who we are and within our memories are stored our values and beliefs and how we came to them. So maybe all that distinguishes us from each other besides physical details is our memory. Our way of thinking can also be attributed to our memory. We think that way because we grew up that way and because our brain learned and picked up on certain things and stored them a certain way&#8230;in our memory.<\/p>\n<p>Also in this scene it begins with someone who seems very human from the first glance and then his hands take themselves apart and type into the computer at the fastest rate I have ever scene it just blew my mind.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YZX58fDhebc The scene above was by far my favorite scene.
