it does have some big misses tho - like the quote does not support this argument and it’s very weak ground. there are a few places like this where they try to lean on the differences between humans and animals that i think fall completely flat.
i genuinely have no idea what answer they're expecting here because its the 08 civics test so technically George Bush was president at the time bc Obama wasn't sworn in until Jan 09, but he was elected ig. And Biden being an option doesn't even indicate that the test was updated bc he was VP lol
Lain is not about “a digital identity that *seems* more real” or about “*feeling* that your identity is [anything, much less constructed with intention by an outside agent]”. It’s an ontological analysis of identity as such. You missed the point.
