The Machine Body Has No Procrastination

The main line of the film is good, the rhythm is okay, it is anticlimactic, and the villain has a poor sense of existence, but after all, it is a hard sci-fi discussing self-consciousness. Although there are many flaws, it is still hard work, but it is a pity that this golden age 's script.

A core point of the film is that consciousness only arises from the brain, which is also the intuitive point of view of general materialism, including Marxism and vulgar materialists, who believe that consciousness is the secretion of the brain, although this point of view was originally created to compete with the soul. concept, but think about it a little and you will find it is not comprehensive.
Human consciousness is inseparable from the shape of the human body since it is born. This is not only to say that the brain, which is the container of consciousness, is limited by the biochemical and neurophysiological conditions of the human body (the film also shows that the protagonist's brain without norepinephrine is deprived of emotion, of course. The actual situation is much more complicated, but after all, the brain of the protagonist whose hormone environment changes can no longer be considered human consciousness.) It comes from the interaction between our body and the material environment. For example, human consciousness is based on the fact that people have limbs and hard objects. Will hurt, appetite, libido, violence, muscle fatigue, sleep will be relieved. Together, these experiences build humanity and are the root of society and culture, as well as the ideology of all people.
So even if the protagonist is not a real robot, but just replaced with a human body, can it still be considered a human? His experience is undoubtedly extremely different from human beings. The simplest, he has no procrastination! Will he recognize your lazy ideas? Nima, isn't procrastination just laziness, laziness is because people get tired! Tired because lactose breaks down to produce lactic acid! Even if your machine simulates the hormonal internal environment of the brain, it will not be tired! Such a body will be alienated no matter how human consciousness was previously, so it is not scientific to completely trust robots with human brains, and people who can't empathize with you are anti-social.
But I don't think so, I can't make this movie.

RoboCop quotes

  • Pat Novak: Well, there you have it. Who could argue with that? Which begs the question. Has the US Senate become pro-crime?

  • Senator Hubert Dreyfuss: I don't care how sophisticated these machines are, Mr. Sellers. A machine does not know what it feels like to be human. It can't understand the value of human life. Why should it be allowed to take one? To legislate over life and death, we need people who understand right from wrong. What do your machines feel?

    Raymond Sellars: Well, they feel no anger. They feel no prejudice. They feel no fatigue, which makes them ideal for law enforcement. Putting these machines on the streets will save countless American lives.

    Senator Hubert Dreyfuss: You're evading the question.

    Raymond Sellars: No, I'm not.

    Senator Hubert Dreyfuss: Yes, you're evading the question. I asked what do these machines feel? If one of them killed a child, what would it feel?

    Raymond Sellars: Nothing.

    Senator Hubert Dreyfuss: And that's the problem. That's why 72% of Americans won't stand for a robot pulling the trigger.
