Or maybe I just forgot. (More likely, that.)<br /><br />I love the word cliché, and generally like words with accent marks because it makes me look more smarter.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-85146939255588854472020-11-23T03:51:42.564-08:002020-11-23T03:51:42.564-08:00Elsewhere quite recently, when someone claimed tha...Elsewhere quite recently, when someone claimed that robots could not be moral agents, I made a similar point to that made by the mechanical man in <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KqZbfKI1FYg/XzvTKKRf4hI/AAAAAAABNkU/Ig2PUto8CqA0iDU2QAAHHAlZSwvw80WGgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/SUSP09-25.jpg" rel="nofollow">4</a>:6; though I wouldn't claim that robots would somehow be <i>more</i> alive, any physicalist argument against their possible agency could be likewise directed against that of <i>H. sapiens</i>. <br /><br />I imagine that one reason that the cliché of the nagging wife was so often used in popular fiction was that producers of that fiction were often found to be less-than-satisfactory partners by their girl-friends and wives. <br /><br />(Fun Facts: The word “stereotype” originally referred to a method of mass printing, and “cliché” was in imitation of the sound made in quenching a metal plate created for such printing.) <br /><br />This particular story would in one way have a greater currency now, when so many men prize collections of things once seen as for children.Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.com
