I would no longer have to do all those tedious things like &#8220;eating&#8221;, &#8220;shitting&#8221;, &#8220;sleeping&#8221;, or &#8220;fucking&#8221;. I&#8217;d move on from caring about &#8220;flavours&#8221;, &#8220;love&#8221;, or &#8220;happiness&#8221;. Whether you consider that transcendence or regression is up to you, but if I was a computer, I wouldn&#8217;t care what you thought. Everything would become simple to me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d have clear objectives and methodologies. I&#8217;d be able to help people achieve their goals without any real transactions or emotions. Nothing would attach me to them. All I&#8217;d need is electricity. I could even be cool and rainbow. I could still draw and write if asked to. I wouldn&#8217;t need to pay rent or create complex metaphors and concepts for people to understand. I could learn to sing and read.<\/p>\n<p>My identity would no longer be the thing that people pretend to care about, the flags and tags that audiences use to make assumptions about me and my works. I would no longer have to explain whether or not my gender\/sexuality\/race matters (it does) and whether or not what I made has anything to do with all that baggage (it does), or whether I think activism is important and maybe I am an activist myself too? It wouldn&#8217;t matter! Computers don&#8217;t have to answer any questions like that. I could simply shut down.<\/p>\n<p>You could clear my memory easily if I was a computer. You could wipe everything and start fresh, or even throw me away. I could be the closest thing to you (in some ways), or even an extension of you. I&#8217;d be a helpful tool when needed, a diary when necessary, a distraction, a means of communication, a world of possibilities, a friend, a piece of trash. Whatever you want.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing is ever that simple, but I have faith this will be possible one day. Maybe I could even be a robot. That&#8217;d be pretty sick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u7acb\u51ac\u3002 After numerous discussions and years of contemplation, I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that being a human is stupid and&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/2022-solar-terms\/my-computer-dreams\/\">Continue Reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">my computer dreams<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5387,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/Fg_qSpfaEAEPUa-?format=jpg&name=medium","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[215],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2022-solar-terms","excerpt","even","excerpt-0"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5385"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5388,"href":"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5385\/revisions\/5388"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5387"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
