the human versus the machine!

In general, it is the expression of one's most human aspects that makes most Western ideologues baulk. To indicate that one is not a functional machine, that simply keeps a-goin during heat or cold, with absolute indifference -- this is what scared the Jesus out of ideological Westerners, and causes them to sputter forth all sorts of slurs about race, about gender ... xenophobic slurs. It's whatever they can get you for, to punish you for revealing that you are human.
