How do you know that you're not a robot???

I had this weird theory. How are we not just a form of a robot?

Like I know some say we have a soul etc etc. And we likely do. But really that's like your cell phone has a sim card. It's the cel phone's soul.

I don't know.

I'm just saying, like what if we're actually robots? Because we often do things and we dont know why we do them. We often react to things in strange ways. Or behave in strange ways, and also in very predictable ways.

Like how are we really human? In reality we could just as easily be robots. Like for example some world civilizations came and went already. But say the last generation was almost like what is depicted on The Matrix. Where everyone is under some grand control.

How do we know it's already like that? A planet full of robots. Because most people I know rarely seem to have even one original thought. All they do is engage in all the same routines, and thought patterns.

Like we could very easily be some kind of strange robots or cyborgs. We think we're human but we don't really know what that even is. I just wondering how likely it is that all we see and do is just some massive pre-orchestrated system. A system by which that we're a human species. But in actually 'we just robots off of some assembly line, that do certain stuff, and never talk back or raise a fuss.

Because we came up with this:

Well, after close to 20 major surgeries, I'm pretty sure I wasn't just there for a tune up.

I must be a newer, updated model because I bleed, poop, AND pee.

i like to think that we are intelligent enough as a species to know that we are not robots. Let us know when you have caught up the times.

Maybe it's just people that listen to heavy metal that are robots..

Robots probably have more energy and feel generally better than this. Recently coming off a cold and just can't imagine that robots would be susceptible to such fluid-friendly viruses.

Because I am already a meat Popsicle.

You may be on to something OP, after all the human body is often referred to as a machine and the brain as a computer.

I have seen hundreds of xrays and MRI scans and I have witnessed major operations. I've never seen anybody with any mechanical elements inside their bodies...... unless you are referring to metal hip replacements often found in the 60+ population.

Flesh robots? Like battlestar gallactica?
Would it matter?

I sneeze when I go into strong sunlight, I suppose my solar cell nose is self cleaning?

We are not robots, definitely, but me in personal is neither a human. Sorry.

People are getting confused you should've clearly stated that robots don't have to be made of metal
