Spirits/Souls don't exist, human beings operate like machines (with AI), and there is no after life.

This theory post will be quite long as it involves the AI theory created by me(at least I thought so, haven't read anything like this), spirits, souls and after life.. all are related to each other. So here goes..

I'm more computer literate so its easier for me to introduce this theory using computer term "AI", if you have no idea
what is AI, you can try google it or wikipedia it :)

There's an AI software operating in each of our human brains. The effectiveness of the AI varies individual by individual, some people have more advance AI (thus smarter) and some has lousy AI system (harder to learn stuff, etc.). When someone are born, the genetics of their parents will goes into play to create the AI for the new born. Thus in this theory, your AI's strength level is already determined at the time you were born.

Twins with different personality explained:
So for twins, both of them have exactly the same AI when born. Human AI is programmed to learn new things from the environment they're in. Therefore you see twins that acts exactly the same when they were born, but have different personality when they gre
w up. The AI will learn different things given different opportunities.
So theoretically if a pair of twins live in the same environment and spend most of the time doing the same thing together (very close twins), they'll have the same exact personality (or
close to it).

People who are mentally challenged?
Their AI have flaws when created (due to unknown bugs during creation) and thus crashes all the time, sometimes the flaw actually creates geniuses. Therefore there's a saying that genius and craziness is just one line away..

Parents with nicely written AI code(smart parents), but having less smart children?
Their child has a good and effective AI, but the environment doesn't teach this AI to be smart. In other words, its the environment that doesn't let this child's AI to excel in his life. Its like a scenario of putting a self learning AI offline by itself, it won't learn much new stuff without interaction with people, but if you put it online, it can learn a lot from the world wide web.

Imagine humans are just like machines/computers, with no soul or spirits... just the AI controlling all the activities and thoughts. If you're reading this blog, means your AI is reading this blog, you're in control of this human body you're currently in because you are the AI. You're programmed to do something, or to think about something, solely based on
previous experiences. When you see a rubbish on the floor, do you pick it up or leave it? or kick it away? your action will based on your programming, your previous experiences since you're born.

My theory has a sad fact though, it means when someone died, it's just like a computer/machine was destroyed. The AI will be gone and there's nothing left. For the case of computers, if it gets repaired and rebooted, if the hard disk was not damaged and the AI is still there, new parts can be replaced with the same AI operating inside, thus it can remain conscious in the new body. However for the human case, since the brain will be dead, it's almost impossible to revive the AI back, unless in the future there's technology to transfer human AI to another brain.

Consciousness is a whole new topic of its own. A simple question like, if human memory is transferable, if your memory is copied exactly to another human brain(with another body of its own), will your consciousness transfered there too? When you open your eyes, will you be in the first body, or the newly transfered body?
If you use my AI theory, in this case, it means that there's now two exactly same AI operating at both the bodies, and there's two consciousness now. Both will think of themselves as the original and not the one 'copied'.

I also believe that there's no after life. There's no heaven/hell. You won't reborn as a new human/animal/insect again. As all new lifeforms has new AI written for them. It's like a robot with its own AI building a new robot and writing the AI for that robot, then kills itself at the end.. the new robot will then build another robot and write the AI, and the process continues.. the first AI that dies with the first robot is gone forever.

Sometimes I wonder.. if there is no life form in the whole world, in this universe. What are we doing/thinking right now? where will our consciousness be? I guess if that's the case, we won't be even thinking about this question. We're just floating somewhere out there, where time flies by indefinitely and 100000000000 years and 0.0000000001 seconds has no difference at all. Sometimes its strange to even think of it. Maybe this life that we're in, are only just our imagination? Is everything just a dream? And what is dream? If we doesn't exist, can we even dream?

  1. chicken and egg question!

    who created the first human with AI then?and if there were only 2 human born at the start, who do they learn from?animals?

    assuming there were many then, if there were no superior human, how did everyone become so different?

  2. - Animal's AI was very simple and only able to have limited learning. Human's were far more complicated and the possibilities are endless. I just came out with another theory that the human AI was not intended, as humans were evolved from animals.. maybe there's a flag in all AI's that sophisticated learning = false but some how human's were accidentally changed to true.. therefore causes humans to be much smarter than animals should (see my other post 'humans are aliens'). I'm not sure if there were only 2 human born at start because that's been told be religion, I believe that humans were evolved instead so it might be more, and yes they learn from other animals as humans are animals also.

    - everyone become so different because different environment creates different people. We have people from all over the world with different skin color,cultural background, language etc because everyone started or were later put in different environment. It's the same with the twin theory again, if you put one of the twins with a good and caring family, and the other to a family who treated adopted child very badly, they will be vastly different.

    Trying very hard to answer your question, hehe, but again my theory was meant to be only thought provoking and not to tell everyone that it is true.. there's no research done at all too.. don't take it too seriously :)

  3. It's about the "ghost" in you, the "individuality", how to preserve that and transfer it as "data" or "memory" and bring it forward, including feelings and emotions, aka soul. This theory exists for a long time, and it's indeed in the works, someone actually doing research on it, probably some freaks in MIT already working on it.
    Go watch Ghost in the Shell, it's an anime which tells this theory, in a way that's easier to be understand =)

  4. i assume the soul you're talking about is different from the classic soul (that can float around and enter another being such as new born baby). But it's hard to say now, we used to thought data transfer must be done through cables/wires but now there's wireless transfer..
