Film Test-Week 11: 11765
As described in the film “Near Death Experiences: Neural Projection and Staying Alive,” consciousness elicits an ultimatum package of pattern meanings drawn specifically from one’s own unique biographical psychological history to encourage one to live and to resist dying. When discussing mind clones we can be easily misled that a computer can’t think like a mind. This assumption can quickly be disregarded since Apple Inc. has developed a software by the name of Siri. This software is well aware of the questions that you ask and can provide precise answers to them. If phones are already programmed to respond like humans, it is very likely that mind clones may trick us in the future about their own self-awareness. Another example are the cookies that are embedded in your computer when using the internet.

If computers are already trying to deceive us when we use the browser, what makes us think that they can’t do it cognitively?
Nietzsche’s famous dictum of “god is dead” underlines the fact that religion has been the source of reliance of this ever so revolving world. The dialogue of a madman waking and pursuing his path to the marketplace and questioning everyone is just a set up. A set up that expresses his fear for the decline of religion. His biggest fear is that the world will be disastrous without it. In spite of all this, he blames himself and all others that inhabit this world by calling them “murderers.” His urgency to reverse this wrongdoing is expressed when he asks “With what water could we purify ourselves?” This statement left everyone in astonishment. In his dictum, he described the madman entering churches and claiming that they don’t live up to their name of being the house of God. God is dead, is his way of saying religion is dead.
