Being a robot is not that bad. They still can enjoy things.
BTW I always thought that being a robot was about being some kind of artificial intelligence or advanced machine. But now I've discovered that's just about absolute knowledge. But then... Is God a robot?

>>1591723
I wasn't asserting that we were actually robots, but that if it were possible to predict everything about our lives, and that that made us robots, then we would already be robots, but we would be unaware of our robotic nature due to our lack of knowledge at this point.

Being a robot isn't about absolute knowledge, either, it's about being purely logical.
