We are spiritual beings, temporarily imprisoned in a physical body that is similar to a machine. But we are much more than a machine. We are consciousness, infinite and irreducible entities.

More quotes by Federico Faggin

The matter is the ink with which the consciousness writes its self-experience.

Not even the most advanced form of artificial intelligence can ever replace man. Because there is something in human beings that is irreducible to machine knowledge: self-awareness, free will, doubt, feelings.

The true reality is the interior one, quantistic, and private. We as conscious entities belong to the part-whole of the One, One is all that exists, [One] is what we call God.

Humanity is at a crossroads. Either it returns to the belief that it has a different nature than machines or it will be reduced to a machine among machines. The risk is not that artificial intelligence will become better than us, but that we will freely decide to submit to it and its masters.

God exists and He is the One.
