Cool story line to it.

Are you a human?

See the thread title and thought WTF.

Looked over and saw "Dank"

OK, I feel better now.

Thankfully not as bad as "Do you think she's pretty?" though.


I answered human as "I am a cybernetic organism, living tissue over a metal endoskeleton" was not available  ;D

Trouble is, as amusing as Dank's delusional psychosis appears to be for some people, telling him something that reinforces his delusions, namely, that there exists people walking around who are actually robots underneath their skin, could lead to tragic results. I know you are joking, everyone else reading your post knows you are joking, Dank, however, will interpret it as some sort of truth that will be dismissed by others who are not as 'aware' as he and that you are taunting him, you know, the robot you who knows they can declare themselves to be a robot because nobody will believe you actually are a robot underneath your skin, so you declare it to mock him, according to his psychosis, anyway.

Everything he states, including his belief that he is 'God' and will rise again from the dead if he is killed, is actually something he believes. Not all the time 100%, but he will be phasing in and out of particular sets of belief structures according to his changing environment and interactions.

It is actually quite tragic to see his various narratives playing out. They're just so typical.

It's not that I believe I will rise from the dead if I'm killed, it's that I believe no one can kill me if they tried.

And I think you should relisten to the song and try a little harder to find the meaning.  No, I don't think people are literally machines.  But we sure do act like it.

The robot represents ego.

I am a human being definitely. my mind my body my soul. I breath, I walk, I talk, I sleep, eat everything that a human does I am doing. This world is very amazing creation of God that we have to protect and live through with it.

Ah dank good to see you still posting!!

I am in fact NOT a robot. I think?

Tomarto Tomayto, it's just another version of the same delusional narratives that play out time and time again, particularly amongst users/abusers of stimulant drugs.

i human

No, i am not a robot, friend.
im human

I want to vote 'human' but there is no CAPTCHA!

;D

great question
lets see how much robots we find on bitcointalk forum

Looks like it's just ChartBuddy ;D

Dank has a form of Bipolar disorder. I've observed his posts for quite some time, and a major symptom of Bipolar Disorder is thinking yourself "superhuman" or "otherwordly" aka Dank thinks he's far greater than anyone else because of supposed superhuman abilities. Common bipolar disorder thoughts.

I advice you to see a psychiatrist Dank, it will help greatly and keep your mind in clarity.

Don't all humans have positive and negative emoticons?  Hate and love?  Fear and peace?  Two poles?  Bi-polar?

Psychiatry is bullshit pseudoscience based off no more than opinion.  You must have robotitus.

There's a medicine for that, look into psychedelic healing.

hey dank can u tell me what is thishttps://bitcointalk.org/useravatars/avatar_21728.png
b'cause i am not able to see it clearly

and why have u posted this
"You cannot kill love"
is there a reason behind it

They don't talk about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder

And I am not a robot but I hope we will get memory and instant internet access in our mind within 20years

Are we human ? Or are we dancer ? I'm a human !

I'm 100% Human.

I picked it for reasons unknown at the time.  But upon my journeys I found it's meaning, it represent oroborus.  Humans are stuck in a cycle of self destruction, our planet constantly consumes itself, the picture is symbolic of our destruction of self.

You cannot kill love was added back in 2012, it meant the power of love will prevail.  Nature always wins over man made creations.  I have since realized much more from this statement.  I am a being of love.  My soul is love and it is my consciousness.  It is applicable to myself, you cannot kill love, you cannot kill me, you cannot kill god, no matter how hard you tried.

Synchronicity is cool.

I am a human being with eyes, nose, ears, hands, heart and mind, I have feelings. Everything a human have i do have.

Synchronicity, or finding meaning in otherwise unrelated events, is a symptom of delusional psychosis.

According to research, every new thought, every new bit of information, is initially accepted prior to evaluation by way of refuting the data in order to filter it out, discard it, or dismiss it. Psychological/Neurological dysfunction may be affected by a failure or bypassing of the refutation process.

So the initial stage of processing accepts all information as equally valid with the next stage being the part that filters out the erroneous. When the refutation stage does not work properly, synchronicity is the result, in that you connect events together as having some kind of association when they actually do not.

Example: You glance at a clock and it's 11:11, the next day a clock/watch that is also showing the time to be 11:11 catches your attention. This seems to happen quite frequently so you start to believe it is some sort of sign and then you begin a process of trying to figure out what that sign might be, with the internet frequently playing it's part in the collective insanity by way of groups of equally unstable individuals gathering to share their 'real' delusions.

Explanation: You subconsciously take in the surrounding data of your environment simply by going about your usual activities. This includes the frequent information sources regarding the time, clocks, watches, computers, smartphones etc. You don't retain the memories of all the times during the day your eyes scanned across an area that included something showing the time, but it is when the time actually is 11:11 that the casual scan suddenly causes an emotional response of shock or surprise because the previously unimportant visual data where the time was not 11:11, now contains visual data where it is 11:11, thereby making you feel that you are only looking at the time when it is 11:11, which must, therefore, have some sort of meaning. It does, the one I just explained. It doesn't 'mean' anything else.

It is fallacious reasoning that leads you down the rabbit hole of psychosis. You discard all the data that doesn't fit your narrative and focus only on that which does, or at least can be crowbarred in to your ongoing delusional narrative.

I don't know; maybe someone can help me find out?

Psychiatry is a delusion, it is false science.

Neurology is not a delusion, it is true science. If you repeatedly ingest psychoactive substances that cause particular neurochemical responses to occur in such a way as to make you perceive reality to be something 'more' than what it is, you may well come to believe that erroneous perception.

The brain displays remarkable plasticity, in that it will constantly seek equilibrium by way of up or down-regulation of neuronal receptors in response to persistent chemical imbalances, namely, repeated psychoactive drug use. It's known as 'tolerance' and is responsible for the user needing more of their drug of choice in order to feel the same effects and also the withdrawal symptoms created if there is a sudden cessation in the repeated administration of the compound.

Long term abstinence will also demonstrate the remarkable plasticity of the brain in that it will, over time, return to its 'normal' neurological/neurochemical state. 'Normal', of course, being a rather misunderstood term in that it does not equate to functional and healthy, only to that which is usual, absent drug-induced alteration.

Whilst the good people at M.A.P.S have scientifically demonstrated the successful use of illicit psychoactive compounds to treat certain psychiatric disorders, self-medicating outside of a controlled environment, frequently leads to habitual and chronic drug abuse and all the ills that accompany that lifestyle.

Dank, just because you believe you know what you are doing, it does not equate to you actually understanding what you are doing or, for that matter, even being open to the idea that you may be wrong.

Well said. Stay off the drugs Dank.

I guess I'm a human then.

but that philosophical question is very important ... it's also about dualism and determinism

in psychology I strongly recommend

2 Foundations: This Is Your Brain

http://oyc.yale.edu/psychology/psyc-110 (http://oyc.yale.edu/psychology/psyc-110)

i am a human being. who have brain and feelings :)

I am not.

thank you for asking though :)

Much appreciated.

Ah Dualism, yes, because that's been proven, right? . . . .right? . . . or, maybe, just maybe . . . there are so many people indoctrinated into theist delusion that they can't actually consider that it's about as proven as the invisible pink unicorns that watch over us in 'the quantum', along with elephant wings and garage dragons.

The 'mind' cannot exist without the brain. We exist within the brain and, when the brain stops working, we stop existing.

Dualism, or the belief that the 'mind' and the brain are separate entities leading to the 'mind' possibly continuing after death, is wishful thinking, that's all. There isn't any objective evidence that has ever suggested otherwise.

There's a whole lotta playing pretend *real* hard with myth and magic believed to be true because, well, you were raised that way. A belief in dualism is no different to a belief in Zeus or Thor, or Ra, or any of the currently 'believed' gods, it's just a long-running game of pretend.

How do you know?

Then you must be a robot.  Your consciousness exists with or without a brain, non existence does not exist.  I have contemplated this long and hard since I was about 8 years old, there is no possible way your consciousness can stop existing.  Energy can only be transferred, not destroyed.

Duality is the very essence of our universe, we perceive dimensions of space which are created by positive and negative attributes.  We perceive feeling which are perceived as positive and negative emotions.  If duality did not exist, we would be a singular point of consciousness with absolutely no perception of time, space, or change.  We would be in the highest realm of heaven, complete nirvana.

You are employing fallacious reasoning Dank.

While, certainly, by it's very nature, 'non-existence' does not 'exist' because it is merely a word we use to describe the absence of existence, that is not to say that we do not 'cease to exist'. All evidence suggests that we cease to exist and it is extremely wishful thinking, along with the employment of intellectual dishonesty, that has us believing otherwise.

You assertion is baseless.

Ah, yes, the ol', utterly fallacious, use of energy transference as attempt to 'prove' that, because we are based on electrochemical energy, the transformation of our physical form from 'alive' to 'dead', magically implies that our electrochemical energy will, erm, go somewhere, or do something, or become quantum, or something. In any event the idea that our 'mind' continues to exist after the brain has ceased to function is, again, wishful thinking by those who are conditioned to believe in dualism.

The point being, energy may well transfer to other forms as a result of particular interactions, but it doesn't follow that our minds are then capable of the same. Our mind is a filter of the inputs received by our senses and neurochemical action/reaction, if the brain is no longer providing the electrochemical energy to power that filter, do we then exist in the form of the dissipated heat energy that it gives off in its fading functioning? No. Otherwise we would exist in the heat energy it already generates. Energy is continually transferring all the while our brain is functioning, why should it magically make something else happen as it fades into the state of ceasing to function?

That's pretty meaningless in the context of this discussion.

Then, surely, we wouldn't be we because we simply wouldn't be.

You know how you didn't exist before you came into existence as a complex organism? Yeah, there's no reason to believe that ceasing to exist is going to be any different.

But, you know what, we get to know that we will always have existed, at some point in space and time. That will never change, we, will always have existed, even if but for a fraction of a macrosecond in the truly enormous cosmological scale of things.

It is in being conditioned to believe in dualism, in something we call a 'spirit' or a 'soul', that we waste vast amount of time and energy not living but merely existing under the foolish impression that something better will be handed to us afterwards.

Intellectual honesty. It is a truly wonderful thing.

I'm not a robot, nice song too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_oMD6-6q5Y  :)

Besides that, indeed it's a tough philosophical question what differs a robot from a human, if anything.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_problem_of_consciousness

My best take on that topic is this:

Spirituality or consciousness is everything that wouldn't exist in a world that consists solely of machines and robots of maximized "rationality" and efficiency.

They'd have no purpose for art, music, dance, everything that makes life "lively" and worthwhile for us humans (with a soul).

In fact the robots and machines should come to the seemingly only rational ultimate conclusion: To immediately suspend everything they're doing and just freeze in order to stop raising entropy and contributing to the heat death of the universe.

But somehow there seems to be more to life, to existence, which is hard to grab and hard to explain.

Nowadays, I feel that I'm a robot, with time is ultra running and I can't have the time to inhale anymore.

So let's set 2 AI to talk each other ... I am bet in clever bot
AI vs. AI. Two chatbots talking to each other: http://youtu.be/WnzlbyTZsQY

A fallacy is a false statement.  If you would look at the polarity of the words and the statement they create you would see that they are true.

There is absolutely no proof for non existence.  Science is a primitive way to measure our material plane.  Science does not quantify the infinite dimensions around us.  We may perceive a lack of something, but that is our perception, not the actual existence of said thing.

We live in an infinite universe, it is 100% certain that everything exists.  If you can think of it, it exists, for you are connecting to the reality where it does.  We are multidimensional beings and thoughts are other dimensions we connect to incompletely.

All matter resonates at a certain frequency, there are infinite frequencies we can tune our consciousness to.  Everything you possibly imagine exists everywhere.

Without duality we are left with singularity, singularity is what Buddhists refer to as nirvana, enlightenment, it is egodeath and I have seen, or become, it myself.  Without negativity, you can quite literally ascend to the highest dimension and perceive every frequency the universe has at once, creating a singular point of completely white light and infinite peace.

Negativity will always be codependent on the existence of positivity, for it is positivity, or consciousness that enables the ability to perceive nothingness.  There is no place where nothing exists.

To say there's no such thing as a spirit or soul is to say you are not conscious.  It is to say you feel no love, no positive emotions, no unity with anything, for that is the nature of the soul.

You have been conditioned to believe in negativity and that is the very source the word satan describes.  You believe in ego, material creations and all that comes with negativity, death, pain, doubt, hate, limits, etc.

You are not a body with a consciousness, you are a consciousness with a body.

If you can see that we always have existed, then you should be able to see that you always will exist.  What you perceive is up to your perception which will continue beyond death, for it always has.

How do you think 2012 Dank would feel about this post Dank Bank era 2014 Dank?

I was honestly probably more at peace back then simply because I wasn't ravaged with brain damaging antipsychotics in 2012.

Though I have learned more since then and my understanding has increased by an order of multitudes exponentially.

I also am a bit down just because of where I am at this point - I have a long journey ahead and I can see that very few people believe.  I good bit do but in contrast to our population, there are not many, including my parents.  It saddens me because I know the fate those who choose to doubt receive.  We have all come a long way and I could only wish they would join and become who they were made to be.

Though I will soon reach a new point of conscious awareness that I have never reached, and that is the day someone makes an attempt on my life and propels me to levitate by the energy of their hatred.

How does transhumanism play into all of this? Just a few nanobots at first. Then a little bit of Synthetic Nucleic Acid and before you know it you're a robot!

Nanobots are too small to see, how do you know that you don't already have them? How would you know if you or the microbes in your gut have added SNA for producing nano-sized Radio Frequency and logic devices? Are we already IPv6 enabled via spread spectrum satellite RF?

pwned. 

I'm sure about that I'm human.

I am Psykosonik - Self-Titled EP, with a little piece of brain for enemas

our memory, feeling, decision make, instinct, etc are just some kind of software ? so if the mind is what the brain does, then software is what hardware does therefore software is like "mind" ... just a metaphor.

yeah.  and thetans are developed in a specific type of schizophrenia (mine)?  any pre-clears have teh same problem?

I would start any research about schizophrenia at "Brain split procedure" or Corpus callosum Malfunction ... this is a very interesting subject... since we like binary stuff hehehe

i cheated i don't have that.  i used Loki to simulate that (yes u can use God's)

I like this thread only because that graphic Dank posted in op post is shodan from system shock :D

yes, i,m human!! :D

No, i am not a robot, I am a human,bro.

I am a human, but I cant solve captchas

there is an easy way to solve captchas, instead visual, request sound

I was created without any audio input, so I have a hard time there too.

I read that there are smark application which can read captcha already. Also Turing's test is now officially passed by machine...

Utterly meaningless assertion Dank.

But simply messing with your neurochemistry, apparently, will magically allow you to see things that 'primitive' science cannot?

That's just more asinine nonsense.

Satan? Ah, yes, the mythical character created by the Catholic Church in order to twist the Pagan God 'Pan' into that which must be feared and rejected. You do know that is the origin of the 'Satan' myth, Dank, right? Prior the 'good' people of Christianity, there was no Satan, there also was no 'unlucky' number 13, because prior to it's demonisation by Christianity, it was a Pagan lucky number.

Do you see the connection here Dank? It's cultural sociopsychological manipulation by theism spanning a couple of thousand years in order to squash a people's existing theist belief system and replace it with Christianity. You do it by replacing the existing symbolism with your own, rather than just telling people their theism is wrong, you simply incorporate it and then change it's meaning, exactly as The Church did.

So there is no such thing as 'Satan', outside of myth and fantasy, anyway.

All that you post is symptomatic of serious neurological dysfunction. But you'll ignore this fact and assert that things you decide are real must be real and anything else, no matter how well reasoned to you, should be ignored.

You are unwell Dank. Your parents know this and your doctors know this, but you refuse to accept it.

Satan = Negativity
God = Positivity
Satan = Fear
God = Peace
Satan = Hate
God = Love
Satan = Doubt
God = Trust
Satan = Ego
God = Soul

It is not that complicated.  They are just different words to demonstrate concepts.

I am not speaking up for organized religions or the Vatican.  Spirituality was hijacked by the corrupt in order to control populations through fear.  It doesn't mean the concept of duality does not exist.  If you chooser to disbelieve in oneness and love, you are choosing to believe in negativity.

Everything is real.  There is no singular ultimate personified being of satan just as there is no singular ultimate personified being of god.  Satan is dark and god is light.

It's really quite simple but it seems you are stuck rejecting it because your mind has been conditioned to disbelieve in what you don't see or understand.

Non existence does not exist.

I was going to mention this as well. This poll is in itself a fallacy, whereby you offer people the false dilemma of defining themselves as either "A" or "B", "left" or "right". A false dilemma is typically used by the elite to control the masses. At the very least there should be 2 more choices in your poll; 'I don't know' and 'none of the above'.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3cmmpjXJoDU/TqgUazdXVXI/AAAAAAAAE3w/ZbAjafP6aBA/s1600/the-matrix-red-pill-or-blue-pill.jpg

Humans react from fear or love.  If you react out of fear, use an ego and negativity in your life, then you're a robot in the terms of the song.  If you act out of love, then you are a human, as that as how we naturally bonded thousands of years ago before the corruption of our society began.

If you don't know, then you're probably a robot.

Just as the picture you just posted, the red pill is understandably a psychedelic that shows you the universal consciousness, the blue pill is ego and where you are free to wake up, forget it all happened, and free to believe whatever you want to believe - ie, not the truth.

Do you know any good sci-fi audio book on soundcloud?

Both love and fear are emotions not solely expressed by humans. Multitudes of beings are afflicted by them. If you have a pet dog or cat you may have noticed this to be true. Feeling either of these emotions (or any offshoot of them) does not make you any more or less human. Likewise, not feeling emotions does not make you inhuman or a robot either. Hence, the picture I posted is your typical false dilemma (choose "A" or "B" senario), which completely overlooks the possiblity of there being (at the very least) another third choice. Nirvana is in essence this third choice (or perhaps more accurately no choice) whereby one is free of all emotions and does not "feel the need" to make any choice.

I would also like to point out that not knowing what you are is merely another possible truth and it also by no means makes you a robot. Instead, it is the acceptance that "you know you know nothing". For example, thousands of years ago we believed we were the center of the universe and it was only 500 years ago we believed the Earth was flat. You for example, believe humans naturally bonded out of love before society became corrupt, whereby I would argue humans initially bonded out of fear for their survival before modern society allowed us the possibilty to bond merely in the name of love.

sometimes I feel like one.Its not good.

Class post made my day  :)

Im a human

Remember people, never feed dank.

maybe yes
I say this cause I feel "ROBOT" more than the standard   :)

He certainly is hungry at times isn't he?

I think you're taking the song a little too literal.  I don't mean humans are cyborgs with computer chips inside of us.

I never said humans are the only beings who feel love or fear.  All of our emotions stem from positivity or negativity.

And in regards to being the center of the universe, the truth is we are the center of the universe.  Your consciousness, that is.  Space and time are illusions of this grand reality.  We are not separate from a creator, we are the creator.

I are robot 0_0

That word was first used in R.U.R. by K. Čapek - a czech writer that was inspired by middle age word "robota", that was used for mandatory working on monarch's fields and domain (like 4 days a week; for free ofc.).

So if you are doing something you don't want to for some other people you trully are Robot :D

Who am i  :-\

Psychiatry is a delusion, bla bla bla.. Then everything is a delusion, so what? Knowing that doesn't change anything. "adapt delusion and live It"

yes, i'm a biological robot

psychology, neuroscience and psychiatry, etc are "soft" sciences, not pesudo-science (like supernatural bullshit). Their object of study is one of the most complex objects we know... so it will be very hard for it to become an hard science. Plus, it's possible that our experience of being a brain will never be well explained, unless we could simulate it on a computer, i.e. as an objective phenomena, rather than subjective.

I read somewhere that in the near future (if not already) it will be possible to create artificial brains in a computer simulation. The author went on to presume that when this happens the amount of artificial brains will eventually outnumber the real ones. Once this happens the odds of you being an artificial brain will be more likely than you being real.

 
 and if these artificial brains began to be more performers than humans ?? there, human beings will begin to appreciate truly its place in this world

 
 Now imagine that someone can reproduct your brain performances and intelligence, he would prefere the machine to you, and those whatever your size and importance.
 
 in fact, it would lead to go without you
 
 
 
       ;D    ;D    ;D    ;D
           you are dead 
 

that goes not only for brains, but for a (our) whole (artificial/simulated) world, and it's called the Simulation Argument. http://www.simulation-argument.com/simulation.html

 
 in my humble opinion,  It must be that the problem of capability of self development and learning that they do no have discern yet

That's the singularity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhj6fDDnckE - D. Hofstadter makes good points regarding the possibility (and calls Kurzweil crazy when he is on his side :D ) - You can skip like the 1st 10 minutes of the video.

I'd say the simulation argument scenario is just a subset of the technological singularity scenario.

I'm Terminator  8)
Hasta la vista, baby

No, i am not a robot!
I'm human...

well i m not a robot but work like a roobt hard work .. :) for bitcoin sure :D

I am not a robot, but I fear that when I become old, the robots will attack me and eat my medicine for food.

Fortunately, there is Old Glory insurance for that.
