tumblr what is wrong with you first the walrus vs fairy thing and now this? are you saying it's less fucked up to find out you're not a biological organism than find out you're a human created from one parent-twin who is genetically identical to you?
Clone: horror at the lie of your body (for what purpose? how many are there? are they like you?)
vs.
Robot: horror at the lie of your mind and your humanity itself (have you ever actually had a thought of your own, or is everything you are/you think/you understand just created by another person’s brain? whose mind/brain are you?? whose thoughts are in your head?? What does it mean to “think” when you’re only a manmade echo of humanity constructed from Boolean logic loops? Do you even have a soul?)
There’s a CLEAR ANSWER HERE.
clone: you are the theft of another being, inextricably tied by the blood running through your veins they may not have even given to you. you aren't you, you're them, you were made to be them, you're not different, there shpuld not be a you, you are them,
robot: ok well im a robot so show me my blueprints so i can install a sword in my arm to beat up ppl that i dont like. what the fuck ever. can i run doom
Clone: yes, you're the product of genes spliced together from the materials from someone you thought -you- were. Now that you know, however, you can start the process of figuring out who you really are, despite your origins.
Robot: My software can be overwritten according to someone else's whim. My memories altered with a simple update. My will changed based on code, not by logical thought.
.... and if my programmer is ultra lazy they'll use AI chat software to write the code which results in unpredictable and contradictory personality quirks. That is a nightmare to me.
