Looking
through the prism of human behaviorism, we can marvel at the simplicity of his
essence. Elementary actions lead to the elementary actions, which develop and
become more complex. On the side, we see a complex system of benchmarks and
targets. But in fact, all this can be described as very simple algorithms. So
what is a person? A complex set of elementary education or reactions? Is there
a general category of "person" in those who constantly strives to
society and can not exist without it?
We
are afraid of losing their identity and uniqueness when it comes to any changes
in us as a person. Supplementation installing chips directly into the body, the
acceleration of consciousness ... There are many things that can affect us,
make us different. At the same time, most of them are artificial. So if we stay
the same, if we change the foot or hand on a perfect prosthesis? Yes and no. It
all depends on the purpose and our relationship to a new subject, but consider
the example of a more basic level.
Imagine
an accessory of a successful person: an expensive car, phone, branded clothing.
Whether the carrier knows of these things, that they are "brand"?
Hardly. It uses the best, because "best" is a tool for him. The owner
of an expensive watch weakly imagine their device. Anyone who buys the latest
phone model, is unlikely to delve into the settings, customizing "for
themselves." Everything boils down to what people generally buy anything.
Or is it due to a physiological need (food), or thing acts out the role of the
instrument, or it is bought in order that a man could declare their status.
The
situation is similar with an artificial intervention into the body. We can take
pills, drugs to enter the blood stream and do it. Otherwise, we will die. We
can position ourselves in relation to technology, speaking both as a fan of
technology, and by the Luddites. It is those who use technology as an excuse,
the brand, one of the parameters that describe our personality. By virtue of
some prejudices, opinions, beliefs, we behave in a certain way it is.
Accordingly, if in the real world we have to give up or take help of
technology, we will experience dissonance, followed by a variety of mental
disorders. Or, we can refer to the technique as an instrument. But if we can
likewise relates to the body?
Our
limb - tools for the manipulation of the surrounding reality, our feet - moving
mechanisms. If we offer the best manipulator or a more comfortable car - of
course, we are seduced by the idea. Of course, if it means to us.
That's
the problem of the modern world. The fear of being among the last, or those who
have almost reached the traits and died at the finish. Due to lack of funds,
the risk of feeling of danger, uncertainty in the forces. Any of us can
"go the distance" and by immediately go to the rest, those who aspire
to a happy and beautiful future.
Our
body is a tool, a temporary shell suit for a reason. Who cares what it is, if
you can work, improve and develop? Ways to improve - a lot. But the real
motives, goals, and preferences are different for each of us.
