    the biggest problem though is this ;

    can electronics learn ?

    I had a chess game yrs ago , that if I played the same move over and over , the game adjusted and anticipated my move

    I don't need an evidence for each and everything that I come across. Some things are only meant to be felt not explained or proved I guess.

    One robot's ethics is another robot's sins.

    . This is where the fun lies. Science and philosophy appear to be complementary entities to me. I agree with this-
    "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

    It seems to me that it is not possible to give a robo free will which a human has by programming unless you believe in those science fictions and movies. Unfortunately I have no answer for you if you ask what "free will" is and from where it originates.
    It seems this "free will" is the key difference between a living and a non living thing and is a consequence of having a soul.

    You agree that a "moral" acton taken by a robot woud not be preceived as moral in the eyes of all humans... but nether are the moral decisons made by humans seen as moral by all humans.!!!

    You clame humans have it... but what do you mean by "free-will"... the ability to make uninfluenced decisions... or what.???

    Well there is a kind of split in the physics today. There are scientists who believe in current models of science and there are others who shun it. The reason they shun is more due to a philosophical reason than a scientific one.
    Current theories are wildly successful and agrees well with scientific findings but are in aversion to philosophy of causality. The law of cause and effect which says a cause always precedes an effect. The mainstream theory says that there is no causality and the world we see is basically random at the core and the law of chance determines all. Some scientists have also suggested that this randomness is the cause of human free will. One of the giants Albert Einstein who had a hand in the creation of this theory himself shunned it afterward. This has led to creation of groups like NPA or Natural philosophy alliance which is group of physics professors,researchers and scientists who are dissatisfied with today's science.
    They try to restore the law of causality back to physics by proposing new and better models than the established ones. Mainstream usually retorts by calling them cranks. Do you see now how philosophy can affect science.


    I'll pass on this. Its hard to put it in words.

    Not as simple as you may think it is. The theories today are based more on deductions(weakest of scientific methods) and on speculation more than observable experimental data. That is why there are philosophical problems arising.

    I figured it would be so.

    Actually philosophy is not aversion to facts. Philosophy is often supported by facts, experiences and history.



    Ya its probably the only thing which you can use against fate.
