Human Quotes

“نحن مثل إنسان يعيش مؤقتاً في مكان ما، دائماً على متن رحلة لا تنتهي... لا يصل أبداً إلى ما يسمى بالوطن. هل تتخيل حجم الإجهاد الذي يعانيه؟ هل تشعر بما يمر به؟! جيني حسين علي We are like a person who lives temporarily in a place, always on board, on a never-ending journey... never arriving at what is so-called a homeland. Can you imagine the amount of stress? Can you feel what he is going through? Jenny hussien ali”

“Looking at the interior of the skull, I was struck by its resemblance to a human skull; in fact, it is, as nearly as I can judge, the size and shape of the brain-pan of an ordinary man who wears a seven and an eighth hat. Examining the brain itself, I found it to be the size of an ordinary human brain, and singularly like it in general contour, though it is very inferior in fibre and has few convolutions.”

“We identify ourselves as persons, and assume that we endure as persons. As a human being I have a past and a future; as a person I lay claim to that past and that future as mine – as things that originate in me, in this very subject who must account for them. Persons do not form a natural kind, and the concept of personal identity is problematic in a way that the concept of animal identity is not. This we have surely learned from countless thought experiments, from John Locke to Sydney Shoemaker and Derek Parfit.”

“If we add up all those humans who are or have been depressed, addicted, anxious, angry, self-destructive, alienated, worried, compulsive, workaholic, insecure, painfully shy, divorced, avoidant of intimacy, and stressed, we are compelled to reach a startling conclusion, namely, that psychological suffering is a basic characteristic of human life.”

“ভালো আর মন্দ, আলো আর অন্ধকার সৃষ্টির মুহূর্ত থেকেই বর্তমান, বৈপরীত্য আছে বলে সৃষ্টির সার্থকতা আছে। দানবিকতার ওপরে ঐশ্বরিকতার প্রতিষ্ঠাই মানুষের সাধনা।”

“আমি খুব সাধারণ রক্তমাংসের মানুষ। সাধনা করে কিছু শক্তি পেয়েছিলাম, এইমাত্র। কিন্তু অমরজীবনের প্রকৃত পরিচয় আমিও জানি না। না জানাই বোধহয় ভালো। আমরা বুঝতে পারবো না, কেবলমাত্র বিভ্রান্ত হবো। যদি পরজন্ম বলে কিছু থাকে, তবে হয়তো আবার তার সঙ্গে দেখা হবে।”

“How to Tell A Human (Naskar Test) How to tell a human from ape, when both look the same? Look for the creature that considers everyone outside their religion a heathen, and everyone outside their culture a heretic - that's a textbook ape. Now look for the being that finds the same human spirit in every culture, religion and nation - that right there, is a rare human specimen. How to tell a human from robot, when both look the same? Look for the contraption that considers everything outside logic, without value - that's a lifeless robot. Look for the soul that knows when to, and when not to, apply logic in life and society - that's a living human.”

“What’s true of counterfeiting money should also be true of counterfeiting humans. If governments took decisive action to protect trust in money, it makes sense to take equally decisive measures to protect trust in humans. Prior to the rise of AI, one human could pretend to be another, and society punished such frauds. But society didn’t bother to outlaw the creation of counterfeit humans, since the technology to do so didn’t exist. Now that AI can pass itself off as human, it threatens to destroy trust between humans and to unravel the fabric of society. Dennett suggests, therefore, that governments should outlaw fake humans as decisively as they have previously outlawed fake money.[54] The law should prohibit not just deepfaking specific real people—creating a fake video of the U.S. president, for example—but also any attempt by a nonhuman agent to pass itself off as a human. If anyone complains that such strict measures violate freedom of speech, they should be reminded that bots don’t have freedom of speech. Banning human beings from a public platform is a sensitive step, and democracies should be very careful about such censorship. However, banning bots is a simple issue: it doesn’t violate anyone’s rights, because bots don’t have rights.[55] None of this means that democracies must ban all bots, algorithms, and AIs from participating in any discussion. Digital agents are welcome to join many conversations, provided they don’t pretend to be humans. For example, AI doctors can be extremely helpful. They can monitor our health twenty-four hours a day, offer medical advice tailored to our individual medical conditions and personality, and answer our questions with infinite patience. But the AI doctor should never try to pass itself off as a human.”

“It is important to address the (mis)perception that systems research is non-humanistic. To offer a short response, it is vital to remember that our civilization — a society where people live in towns or cities, communicate by writing, and build monumental structures , is a system connected by our relationships. The subject of systems cannot be more human.”

“Medical research using chimpanzee surrogates is not just a hot issue, made hotter in recent years by the rise of animal-rights movement and, in counterpoint, by the terror AIDS. It's also... a central conundrum within the much larger issue of humanity's relationship to nature. It's bigger than AIDS; it's bigger than the enterprise of according legalistic 'rights' to a few thousand species of vertebrates. By a sequence of almost syllogisticallly linked questions, it leads straight to the core of a very personal yet very global matter - whether we humans are really part of the natural world or not. It demands eventually that we ask ourselves, Is a human life sacred, or just valuable? And the corollary, If a valuable entity proliferates itself by a factor of six billion, is each unit still as valuable as it was?”

“Another common but mistaken assumption is that creativity is unique to humans so it would be difficult to automate any job that requires creativity. In chess, however, computers are already far more creative than humans. The same may become true of many other fields, from composing music to proving mathematical theorems to writing books like this one. Creativity is often defined as the ability to recognize patterns and then break them. If so, then in many fields computers are likely to become more creative than us, because they excel at pattern recognition.”
