Robots!
So I've noticed that DailyAkrasia is turning into a robot fansite -- when it isn't going on about Canada (yawn)... I'd like to encourage this robo-facination among the droogs.

Once the robots are sufficiently advanced, many philosophical puzzles concerning consciousness, agency, mental properties, perception, etc. will be resolved. And yet another branch of philosophy will blissfully whither away! Oh happy day!
Decent link btw. My last one on robots covered all this, plus more, but is no longer working. Actually, a lot of my recent links seem to have expired. What's with that?

As one philosopher to another, I'll agree that it is with a certain glee that I look forward the withering away of x branch of philosophy. Which is a funny thing to look forward to... but nonetheless...
