Essentially, we're talking about the transference of the actual consciousness of an individual to a machine. Plug it into the internet and then what would we get? The antichrist? 😉

I echo your feelings on this one, indeed.

Moreover, I've always perceived the BBC as passive aggressive in its

There is no God. Our will is our own.

Rather, there is a God, but our will is our own. 😉

And when we're born again we deny ourselves.

It's known as a "neural net" but your word could catch on, for sure.

Never really thought of it this way, but I see your point.

I see it more not as self-denial, but self-liberating.

My wife complains she can't tell me what to do, but in the end she always gets her way. 😉
