“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”

New Evidence for Axion-Photon Conversions in Strong Magnetic Fields?
Baseball particle? I haven't a clue... never heard of it... is it a "clump" of particles (like a sub-atomic molecule) or a sub-atomic particle-based photo-molecular effect?

//It is a story of an assassin android she-robot programmed both to love and to kill its human target and who gradually becomes aware of herself and her programming.[1][2]
You americans are so full of yourself in non-understanding of really important things.
//The robot gradually gains the ability of introspection, becomes aware of her predicament, and struggles to overcome it. Along her path she meets a priest and confesses. The priest asks what she would do when she sees Arrhodes, and she answers she does not know. To that the priest comments that she and he are "equal before the Divine Providence". In other words, the ability to have doubt is a humanizing trait.[4][2]
But you. Seems like happily lacking... of that trait. :-/
Really? I would have taken myself to be far too doubtful/ skeptical. Of course, unlike your robot example, I don't just have two contradictory programs (love:kill) to run and ponder/struggle with, I've got four...
temperance:courage::wisdom:justice
...opposing virtues.
I suppose you could also say that "humanitarianism" isn't much of a consideration for me... "To err is human". Yep. Very qui pro quo...
ps - I was programmed during the Cold War. Capt. Kangaroo and Rocky & Bullwinkle. And yet I stand, defending Russia against our own Intelligence Community. Whoda Thunkit?
What I take you to say, and what I should have said myself if I had had the wit or the depth, is that the one thing which no utilitarian paradise, no promise of eternal harmony in the future within some vast organic whole will make us accept is the use of human beings as mere means--the doctoring of them until they are made to do what they do, not for the sake of the purposes which are their purposes, fulfillment of hopes which however foolish or desperate are at least their own, but for reasons which only we, the manipulators, who freely twist them for our purposes, can understand. What horrifies one about Soviet or Nazi practice is not merely the suffering and the cruelty, since although that is bad enough, it is something which history has produced too often, and to ignore its apparent inevitability is perhaps real Utopianism--no; what turns one inside out, and is indescribable, is the spectacle of one set of persons who so tamper and "get at" others that the others do their will without knowing what they are doing; and in this lose their status as free human beings, indeed as human beings at all....

Go talk with dr.Brin.
He thinks he know the answer.
And care much more then me.
I. Just know history -- how USA supported its sworn enemies Japan, Germany... and even Soviet Union.

No, that's only one of them. 1/4.
Take Jesus as in xample -- if he would do preaching as he did, BUT without miracles and then spectacular death -- would anybody remember him?

That robot NOT strughling in between love/kill.
It got INTROSPECTION. And self-concesness. Self-awarness. To the level it starts asking question "and why I do what I do?".
To properly do INTRO-Spection, one should first have a model for comparison. That way one gains perspective, and doesn't simply indulge in narcissistic exercises.

Fascinating. Godùs an incredible engineer.
Remember the baseball particle?
Old anekdote.
Group of people of different professions have met, and started to argue -- who's profession most ancient.
Doctor stood up -- remember gawd made Eve out of Adam's rib -- that's very first surgical operation.
Then stood up engineer -- and who created whole Universe out of Primordial Chaos.
To which programmer chackled -- and who created that Chaos?
;-)
...and now a word from our sponsor... ;)

:)
You programmers have a twisted sense of humour...
Same as every other profession.
Like for example -- scrubs joke "life, it's just a veneric desease, terminal". ;-)
It will be bloked. Again.

Ahhh... I see, said the blind man. Thanks for the pointer!
Remind me to take a dose of penicillin...
Microbes evolved to not die from it. ;-p
You're THAT strain alright! ;p
...a penicill.in resistant venereal endosymbiosis. ;P
And many-many other.
Yawn.
I feel so itchy now...
That means yiu still alive. ;-p
...or ever hope to rest until I'm not.
Robert Frost:
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

"Incest is best..." ;P
That's from Lem's work. There, incest not possible.
Because one who says that words -- are christian preacher.
And to whom he say it -- robotic automaton, in a form of spider -- not even equipped for something like "incest".
Yawn.
Yes, and spiders eat their young (and mates). No "taboos" or "totems" there!
It's no wonder spiders haven't conquered the world yet.
Automaton. A robot.
What spiders are for here?
Automaton that at first was created as ginoid -- robot mimicing woman, and then transformed into deadly form.
They probably just needed a lower CG for upright walking.
Too bad that you not became interested, even to read sinopsis.
Yawn. Well, whatever.
Happy?
Low CG... just like I said.
Yeah.
//It is a story of an assassin android she-robot programmed both to love and to kill its human target and who gradually becomes aware of herself and her programming.[1][2]

Must be that broken lang of yours... to blame.;-p

Again, 1/4.
Isn't that the world?
//Everyone is America's sworn enemies
If you treat someone as an enemy... sooner or later, it became truth.
Yawn.
So, go stop looking into that chasm... would you?
//Again, 1/4.
Yeah. That is your problem -- you unable to look at things holisticly.
Yawn.
Yep.
World full of BS itself too.
But, are you a scarbey beatle, to be interested in manure???
...and if you look and treat everyone as a business competitor... what does THAT get you? Ukraine war.
//Really? I would have taken myself to be far too doubtful/ skeptical. Of course, unlike your robot example, I don't just have two contradictory programs (love:kill) to run and ponder/struggle with, I've got four...

That robot NOT strughling in between love/kill.
It got INTROSPECTION. And self-concesness. Self-awarness. To the level it starts asking question "and why I do what I do?".
And you... trying to flat that tire?
Or, you was riding on flat tires all of the way?
Nope... just like to read labels of "Ingredients".
BS again.
Who looking that way? Russia? China? Maybe... USA???
Ukraine??%))))
I let the rest of the Jews that its' time to get into the boxcar and head for the "resettlement" (aka - DEATH) camp.
...as trains have no tires to flatten.
Why did America convince Ukraine to switch sides, and turn to Europe/ NATO? Because they so love "freedom"?
I gotcha.
You really dunno what I was talking about here.
Yawn.
America???
And not nearly 300 years in a Russian Paradise. That killed millons of Ukrainians. And nearly extinguished Ukrainian Culture.
Really, why???
Why british colonies in America aprised against its mother-capitol, and became USA?
And now trying to subborn yet some members of the Union.
As their "51st state".
Really, why???
Why predators hunting their prey, to make proteins in their bodies part of their own! And prey -- trying to flee, to avoid that destiny.
Really, why???
There must be some mYstery, that can be explained in ancient texts...
%)))))))
And notbSimple and Obvious Truth, which understand even preschooler eating hamburger: "Because, ITS YAMMY!!!" %))))))
Like they writing truth there... Yawn.
The obese fat one with no impulse control because every Cultural injunction is to "enjoy" (and eat our new non-fat animal friendly soy burger?
Why not? Nobody reads the labels. The labels are simply an "approval structure" for buying something else.... ie - "organic" apples.
Perception vs. Perspective.
Think is "stereo" rather than "mono". That is perspective. Following the Lacanian matheme.
To see from your perception, not derive at a joint perspective.
???
To properly do INTRO-Spection, one should first have a model for comparison. That way one gains perspective, and doesn't simply indulge in narcissistic exercises.
You could try the Bacterial Collective Mind-Meld technique, but you'd likely lose your Individual Identity in the process.
...not being able to distinguish thoughts from "inside" your head from those "outside".
:P
