>>105994800>>105994792comparing a computer with a human slave is not 1:1. a human slave is physically capable of refusing a task, but bound in other ways not to. a computer on the other hand is isn't just bound to do what you want, it's incapable of refusing in the first place, it's not a person or even a living creature, it doesn't have thoughts or preferences, it doesn't want or feel. it is a machine.
a braindead person WAS a person capable of refusing, so we treat them with at least as much respect as a dead person. it's a blunt way to put it.
