week 6

Is there any difference between the programming of computers, and the 'programming' of humans by society?

I believe it’s very similar on how people are told to be to be accepted by society. It’s very interesting on how people are told to not express their feelings because they might seem weak to society. Just kinda like the computer it has very dull answers and emotions. And sometimes that’s how some humnas are, they act very hard with no emotions. 

week 5

 I'm 100% persuaded by the arguments of Decarte that we are made out of two different substances. Why am I persuaded? well heres why, I totally believe that physicalism make a great point to say how both the brain and the body are two different things, as shown in the movie freaky Friday you can really tell how although there was body switch the brain/ self conscious stayed the same. This shows how honestly although our body and mind are attach to the same body doesn't mean that they are related to one another and effect one another. Just as shown in the movie just because the mom was in her daughter body it didn't make her feel younger because she knew she wasn't that young. The mom was conscious that just because a body swap happen it doesn't mean the way she thinks will change. You can also see it when the daughter switches to her moms body she immediately still acts herself. This is why I'm persuaded by Decrate argument because in many different movies you see this same exact thing. Also side note dualism can mean much more than just the brain and the body but also about God and world, good and evil and so on.
