i think that someone made a pretty good attempt this time at making a man; the flesh-ware is good enough, but the mind-ware is not resilient to false programming. i like this idea of dyotheletism - if there is only the creator's will, a man may as well be an automaton, a cyborg. however, a truly distributed sentient system should have a way to learn by itself, auto-correct thru free will, remove its own buggy programming, and teach others to do the same.

finally, there is the emerging question of who is the creator? if the creator(s) were other sentient being(s) of a higher order, who is to say that they are perfect and never do any wrongs? i am not talking about the highest of the high, the natural order of the universe, but a potential intermediary species between men and supreme nature.
