Is this another one of those ludicrous theistic equivocations, where if I only believe that I'm real and not also somehow magic, then I don't get to believe I have all these things that the theists have just randomly decided are also magic and belong to them for some reason, like free will?

What makes biorobots different from humans? Same neurons, same chemical reactions.

Get back to me when biorobots can fuck and make little biorobots.

If Ray Kurzweil is right this will likely happen in the next 10-20 years.

I prefer to think of myself as a nest or a habitat for trillions of infinitesimal micro-robots, thank you very much.

You give him too much credit. So far as I can tell he hasn't yet made one and may not be capable of doing so.
