As much as I love technology, it's frightening to think of technology getting powerful enough to vote.
Hey there! Wow. That would be really intense
Hello! It would be really intense and I certainly hope it doesn't happen in my life time. What do you think about computers voting?
I feel like if computers voted they'd end up running for president or granting themselves rights
I agree, which is why I hope it never happens. The way technology is advancing though it seems like a future possibility. Do you think it could happen at some point?
I don't know. I think it could happen. But I feel like there would be governing principles put in place to ensure things like that don't happen.
I think only humans should be able to vote, but what about when we get to the point of cloning people (if we ever get there)?
Haha yeah I also think we have plenty of things to work on in the mean time I don't know I think people should all have the right to vote. Or be able to earn back the right if it's revoked, I mean.
So are cloned people actually humans and not computers?
Hm. Well they would be capable of sentient thought, so I think they would be more human than not
I don't know what I think about the whole subject. I don't think they would be computers, but I don't really think they would be human either. Would you consider sentient thought as what makes something human?
I think that could create a problem and create like a tertiary class or species haha I mean along with going through a physical birth process probably.
The implications of clones are rather complex. I don't think clones go through a physical birth process unless clones have children, which gets complicated.
Wow. That would be super complicated. So if a clone and a human had a child (suppose it was possible and the clone wasn't infertile) would that be a human or a clone? This would create a whole different type of racism.
That would bring up a whole new set of problems. I suppose the child would be half clone and half human,  so would the child get to vote?
I don't know! I mean I think probably not, because of how society tends to run. I really think clones would turn into a lesser class and it would be like slavery except with clones and there would potentially be segregation again. Crazy to think about actually.
That is probably what would happen, but I can imagine that it would follow the same pattern of history where they eventually get to vote. I think 100% clone would start out as inferior, but then they would have children with humans. Those clone/humans would fight for the right to vote, because they are 50% human
Probably
They would be granted the right to vote. So the 100% clone would start saying that they had the right to vote as well and they would eventually get it. I doubt that any of it would be a smooth process.
Wow. It's crazy to think about. I mean it's said that history repeats itself, but it really would.
It is sad and you would think that we would figure it out at some point. It is also crazy to think about. Are you into science fiction and thinking about things like clones?
Sometimes, I like that. Sci fi is interesting.
So do you read sci fi or like watching sci fi movies?
A little of both. I mean I guess it depends on what counts as sci fi. I read Ready Player One, which some people consider sci fi I really like it.
I have never really been into sci fi, so I have no idea what counts or what doesn't count.  I haven't heard of Ready Player One before what is it about?
It's basically in the future and the world sucks, the environment has been trashed. So people all play a virtual reality game called The Oasis. The maker of the game died and he left a riddle which leads to three keys. The person that finds all the clues wins the game maker's share of the company and essentially becomes a billionaire
That sounds like sci fi to me. I need to go now, but thanks for the interesting conversation!
Yeah have a great day And a good weekend :) Thanks for chatting!
