I like the way Chomsky breaks it down (and I'm paraphrasing): the programs that machines execute are merely theories written in archaic notations to accomplish specific tasks. Humans are eons away from writing and executing theories that create theories.

I agree with Chomsky that progress is needed in the realm of morality. That's where our priorities should be. It's where advancements in humanity must be made.

Furthering his example of animal testing in science experiments, hopefully animal testing will be abolished as the cruel act it is.
