Loved the first season, but really can't get into the new one.

Best thing on the telly. Watched the finale earlier. Second season required even more concentration than the first and - like it - left you with plenty of possibilities to consider. But that's why it's great. It gives you plenty to think about; and, like all the best science fiction, it's about what does it mean to be human.

Right enough, I'm a total geek for this kind of thing.

Being a human being means being human, love all that geeky pondering too. Just started a book that’s exploring what that really means. It’s taking a brush to all corners of the brain, it’s called Behave by Robert Sapolsky

I'll make a note of that book. Thanks.

For me, it's the blurring of the lines. If you have machines like Replicants, late model Cylons - or even the more limited Synths, from Humans - and they're capable of thinking, acting and even feeling as we do; at what point are they so different from us? Beyond an inability to propagate as we do.

The ST-TNG episode 'The Measure of a Man' explored Data's right to determine his own destiny - that, because he was sentient, he wasn't property - even though he's far less human than, say, Bernard.

I'm really geeking out here. Sorry. LOL

Lol no it is one of the big questions I guess, if we make machines more and more complex and WE are making them, then we are trying to build in some kind of intelligence that makes decisions as we do. For example doing something might be a combination of experience, emotion and understanding of law both moral and legal. That's a lot for robot intelligence to do and a lot for human being to programme but scarily it's getting closer. So at what point does the machine make it's own choices and if so is that intelligence? Read the book it's fascinating and examines not only human moral behaviour (including sexuality) but how the brain decides using rationality AND emotional responses

Yeah. It's complicated - and we haven't even talked about how many of our behaviours are largely beyond our conscious thoughts; or the quantum nature of our physical reality.

Anyway, I'll be able to talk about it all with my robot carer when I'm properly old.
