difference

Fifty years ago I jotted. The essential difference between humans  and computers is that the computer does not create its own problems.
Maybe it was a simple joke or a deeper foresight.  It was the dawn of our current age.- What computer existed fifty-year ago?  Programed in machine  or assembly language...

Searched the internet for philosophical definitions of difference. See below. Wonder,  when using these system ,what is the difference today between humans and computers?


Madhva’s Fivefold Differences (Dvaita Vedanta)
In the pluralist tradition of Hindu philosophy, thinker Madhvacharya argued that absolute differences are the very fabric of reality. He defined exactly five types of differences (Pancha-bheda): [1]
  • Between the individual soul and God (the Supreme).
  • Between one individual soul and another.
  • Between the individual soul and physical matter.
  • Between God and physical matter.
  • Between one piece of physical matter and another
Is there a reversal? since computers can hallucinate? who is the God now?

Original sin -

In my standup act I make fun of the American obsession with sex with in-law and step families. I even say the turkey is the aperitif to Thanksgiving family action.
Just find out that Jefferson had several kids with the black slave Hemmings who was the half sister of his wife.  All in the family!
Tradition, tradition...
