You always say interesting stuff.
I find the more I think about this, the more I both...don't care, and wonder if those who are disgusted, who long for bodies made of something cleaner than flesh are, well, more refined mentally, more "human" the way logical, unemotional people are sometimes thought to be more human.
The problem is I don't see what good an indestructible, invulnerable body would be besides satisfying someone's personal squick, and avoiding disease. And aging. Sounds like it could be fun but I don't see the appeal for myself. I guess I'm trying to convince myself that's okay.
As I try to see the inherent disgustingness of living things all I end up seeing is either 1) unremarkable, normal stuff that's not a big deal, or 2) really cool biological machines. Same with external beauty - surely the uniqueness of each human form and mind outweighs the "repulsiveness" of what it covers?
Gah, I just want to go back to normal, not worry about this junk. I need a life is what I need.
