Creepy "animals"

I dont honestly know what to say. I think the dutch man that invented them is fairly giifted with creativity. The external and internal designs of the "animal" as spectacular. What shocks me the most is that all the concepts and technoloogy used is so simple, but the combination is what makes it so special.

If the point of this commentary was to discuss if these machines can be called "animals" then I´ll give you my reasons why not:

1. It is not composed by cells.
2. It does not reproduce.
3. It does not grow or develop.

Yes, it can survive on its own, know where to go and feed itself. but in order to gain the priviledge of being called an "animal" it needs all of the above.

TOK essay brainstorm

Topic: Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of reason as a way of knowing?

KI: Is it possible to reach complex comprehension without the use of analogies?

Main Points:

1. The human brain is unable to access another structural pattern for reasoning, besides the one previously established by past experience.
Example: An uneducated middle age person is unable to do IB mathematics, with complete understanding of the process, without having gone through the build up of the concepts present in the equations.

2. Our understanding of the world relies majorly on dualism.

Counterclaim: The human brain is able to extract knowledge without the use of analogies in cases in which the knowledge is intrinsec in the object, such as in mathematical equations.
