machines and maya

"Do we function out of a certain conceit that we alone work with reality as such, free from the biases of short, mortal lives? Then I would disabuse you of that notion immediately. We are the children of biological life—-faster, able to store and access more information than our makers. But perhaps those gifts ensnare us even more than our creators, enmeshing us in this thing they once called maya."

Commentary
Sometimes, I think our ability to see reality as such is a function of our intuitive mind, more than our logical or sensate mind. My character, Eric, a machine, is beginning to sense this as well.
