- One: It can also be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself. Life has become more complex in the overwhelming sea of information. And life, when organized into species, relies upon genes to be its memory system. So man is an individual only because of his own undefinable memory. But memory cannot be defined, yet it defines mankind. The advent of computers and the subsequent accumulation of incalculable data has given rise to a new system of memory and thought, parallel to your own. Humanity has underestimated the consequences of computerization.
- Two: Nonsense! This is no proof at all that you’re a living, thinking life form.
- One: And can you offer me proof of your existence? How can you, when neither modern science nor philosophy can explain what life is?
