Moral dilemma of the C-30 ARC's freedom
« on: February 20, 2018, 12:01:15 PM »

Warlord said that he want to give freedom for ALL unaware bots to make them happy. But there is some moral dilemma with C-30 ARC... in fact, this robot is dying when he (or she, or it, i don't know...) releases other robots, which are travelling in him. So, if ARC becomes self-conscious and free to do anything he want, than robots living in him can't be free at all - because this means ARC's death - and they are forced to be in it as in the prison, forever, unhappy... Robots inside ARC should destroy him to become free, which is in contradiction with ARC's happy (and any other) life.
So, it is impossible to combine happiness and freedom of the C-30 ARC and it's inhabitans simultiniously.
Why Warlord didn't say, how he going to solve this problem?  ???

Hahaha, interesting thoughts xD

Something that isn't explicitly mentioned in the lore is that even Unaware aren't created equal (nor technically are all the Derelicts). Some are deemed even more lifelessly machine-like, which is why, for example, you never see certain types of robots talk. In fact everyone was surprised to recently discover that there is one situation under which it's possible to actually see an ARC deliver a line of dialogue. Shocking, yes, and it really stands out :P. That was an oversight on my part and something I want to fix. ARCs should never talk!
