Blog 10

Lyotard tried to answer the question, how can thought go on without a body? Lyotard suggest artificial intelligence to fix this problem. He suggest that A.I. is a way for humans to preserver their thoughts and memories after the sun explodes. Lyotard talked about how all human achievements are pointless due to the fact that one day the human race will end because of the death of the sun. This type of thinking that human achievement is irrelevant is not plausible. It is not realistic humans can not comprehend how long the billions of years are until the end of the world. His idea of saving human achievements in A.I. is a reasonably good idea. This will help ensure that if their is future life that they know our technology and our achievements.
