Imagine doing a Turing Test on social media platforms: try to have a conversation with the hiveminds and see to which degree they achieve coherence and intelligibility.

People that don't know that they are robots either don't know what people are or what robots are.

Yes, you're right, we're nothing more than just advanced carbon-based machines. But humans tend to cling to the idea of being more than just that. I guess that's the reason they invented the soul as a back door solution.

I don't think so: the did not exist in the West before the Christian cults. The soul is the relationship of the individual to God, and God is the identification of a social intentional superorganism, from the perspective of the individual that is part of it.

Ancient Greeks apparently had individual relationships with their gods or some of them anyway. Also there were Moirai. From my best understanding their idea of genius was *according with your destiny* - fufulling it. But that could be just J Campbell crap.

I think that Greek gods were quite clearly superhero cartoons, not sources or meaning and norms. The later interpretation as religion took place in a culture that could no longer think outside of its Christian cult.

Have you read the Euthyphro dialog?

Do you see it as evidence that Euthyphro considers his adulterous vengeful lawless gods as authorities, or that Sokrates points out that they can be no such thing, and norms cannot be derived from the behavior of the gods?
