The worst part is it wasn’t a tradition at all. XT-22 was just an asshole.
They’re clones… aren’t they all assholes?
Yes… But Cleon 24 eventually tried to save Demerzel, While Cleon 23 turned insane and went on a murder spree.
What did 23 qualified himself again?
I’m surrounded by assholes!
Sligtly oftopic: It’s ok to abondon tradtitions that harm others.
Its ok to abandon tradition for no reason at all.
Trying to get other people to do something just because other people did it is often a dick move.
Except when it comes to legal precedent
As long as you replace it with another tradition that causes equal harm
no! more harm, less tradition!
for example, consuming their corpses and raping them and stealing their baby food
What kind of sicko does the corpse consumption before the raping? Eww

(I was making a commentary about veganism)
I think they got this, but were inferring that you were describing order (which would make the order listed incorrect) as opposed to simply listing 2 things (what I believe you were doing).
Actually the veganism aspect went right over my head, just seemed like a random list of bad behaviour lol
I can never help but be put off by the trivial “as my 30 year life cycle comes to an end…” when I read this comic. I wonder if we’ll ever be at a stage where we produce/program biological “robots” that are capable of having this kind of relationship to their own existence.
there’s a few essential differences between animals and plants, and one of them is that plants try to maximize their surface area to collect more sunlight, while animals try to minimize their surface area because surface area is attack area.
as a consequence, animals are kinda sphere-shaped, or at least they center all their body relatively closely to some center point. I.e. humans have 2 m diameter max, from tip to toe, while plants can easily have roots that stretch for kilometers.
i assume that robots are much closer to animals than plants, and as such, they have a rather narrowly centered body, and as such, that center point automatically gains a lot of significance. So, it is quite likely that robots would have an “i” awareness similarly to how a sphere is clearly distinct from everything around it.
What else do you need for an “i” awareness? I mean, “i am a particle in space” is pretty dependent on the thought of being at a well-defined position in space, which is only possible if your body is relatively compact.
If you do this, be prepared to get elbowed in the face (repeatedly). And no, I’m definitely not proud of it.
