People love to talk about the immortality of the machine, but I’m a mechanical engineer, so I know they delude themselves. Most machines are far more mortal than flesh.
How long does a machine last? A car is a very solid machine, expensive, precision designed, and you’re lucky if you get more than three decades out of them.
Your enemy is not the flesh. It’s entropy. It’s the death knell of the energy imbalance. If you want to live as a complex machine you will, by necessity, generate a great deal of entropy until your machine breaks irrevocably.
You want to be immortal? Then don’t worship the machine, worship the stone, the forest. Seek that which is either simple enough to never know death or diffused enough to accept every death.
Your enemy is not the flesh. It’s entropy.
Is it too much to ask for the flesh to generate a little less entropy
Sorry buddy that’s the cost of being a complex being, comes with the territory.
This was very much a reference to the German localization casting the raspiest, evil sounding old man for him. But I’m happy that eng dub folks can relate too~
