this is what you atheists and evolutionists could use to prove their is no god. a conscience and a personality is what defines a person and without this ghost in the shell i think that we would be entirely impulse based like animals. this also means that a computer could possibly develop a personality of its own, if its as simple as it seems. how would explain emotions though? there is nothing gained from love other than maybe satisfaction and a reason to aspire to something, but why waste time like that if you dont need to and if its not helping you survive. why would we develop something that makes us worse and more dependent on others. i dont know any man that doesnt want a girl very badly or that wants to die alone. why would we need to do anything other than work if it didnt help us progress our species, the developement of emotions just doesnt need to be.
