 +'And what about basking in the divine light?  Certainly if we take a reductionistic view that mystical illumination is just a bath of intoxicating brain chemicals, then there seems to be no reason that machines couldn't occasionally be nudged into exceptional states as well.  But I prefer to suppose that mystical experiences involve an objective union with a higher level of mind, possibly mediated by offbeat physics such as quantum entanglement, dark matter, or higher dimensions.  Might a robot enjoy these true mystical experiences?  Based on my studies of the essential complexity of simple systems, I feel that any physical object at all must be equally capable of enlightenment.  As the Zen apothegm has it, "The universal rain moistens all creatures."  So, yes, I now think that robots can see God.' -- [[Rudy Rucker]]
