Well, I’ll get us started. Bad answer better than no answer. You bear a family resemblance to the rest of humanity You seek and have the experience of life (btw if you’re looking for the meaning of life you’re really looking for the experience of life) You are governed by human instincts You think and feel

love this answer. why is it bad, what are it's flaws? is it because 'resemblance of humanity' and 'human instincts' are self referential?

exactly. restated: you pass the 'is it human' gut check (done by a human) you want stuff a human wants and react it to like a human does (impossible to falsify lol) your low level programming is human-like you do core human activities Gut checks and self references all the way down. https://i.imgur.com/Q5nxwlD.png

right right, something outside our frame is required in order to falsify. i still love your answer though, it gives me the warm and fuzzies and i think works well enough until we discover that Extrinsic Thing
