Comment: Thanks to digital medicine, we will become healthier and live longer. Artificial intelligence will take over burdensome household chores and work functions, and if we want, will be able to travel through virtual worlds, and so on.

We are developing artificial intelligence, robots that take on a human appearance, adaptive control systems, etc.

On the other hand, humans are adapting themselves to artificial intelligence—implanted chips, programs, and artificial body parts. Along with the development of machine technologies, humans are also being turned into a machine. Will there be any difference between them?

Answer: And how does a robot differ from an ordinary person in our world who also behaves according to certain canons acquired from nature or from the society in which he grew up and developed? How does one differ from the other? I see no difference. You can make a mechanical toy that will be completely human-like. Only if you cut it open will you see wires there.

We can program absolutely everything. I can create a suitable spouse for myself, one who will fully meet all the parameters of a person and of a woman. Only she will not have a soul.

Question: Will a person still have the desire to develop what is called the soul?

Answer: I think that after the period of revealing the robot in himself, when a person realizes that he is no different from a robot, he will start to wonder what makes him different.

And then he will begin to uncover the existence of a special substance in himself called “soul.” It has to be revealed. It is in its embryonic state, but it is in every person. And he will work on it. And everything else will be provided. For some, pizza and Coca-Cola will be delivered at home by drones. And someone else will connect to a power outlet to fill up instead of pizza and cola.

But living people will differ from artificial ones in that they will need to correct their soul. And this will become their inner need that calls out from the depths of their being and demands realization.

Question: That is, after playing with toys enough, will they come to the genuine question?

Answer: These are not toys. They must put their external animal life in order. We develop through the levels of inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature and humans. Only then will it be the turn of the development of the human. In the meantime, we are not yet at this level, because we can nurture the human in ourselves only when we begin to develop the soul.
