Dualism (Identity)
TONY: To use my old computer analogy, the hardware is one requirement, but without some form of external power and external user, the hardware is useless. [...] Yet, without any of these components, along with a third party independent interpreter, all of the energy, hardware, and information are useless. > >David: What Tony is saying is that your computer is your servant, at your command and can produce nothing until you input a request for action. It requires you to act.-A minor edit here. I am saying that the computer only performs routine maintenance without direct inputs or requests for action. It keeps the hardware running, the lights flashing, and the fans blowing, but it doesn't perform anything about the bare essential without external input.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
