i’ve only seen five episodes of star trek and somehow... i'm already attached?? to an android??
no but like actually. data is everything. he doesn't just try to be human, he's studying it like its something worthy of respect and admiration. he's not even trying to be something, he's just so gentle. and curious. and the way he asks questions?? like he's not even afraid of not understanding.. to him understanding is more important than seeming intelligent.
there's just something about the way he looks at people, like he's trying to not only understand - but to care, even when he doesn't fully feel it.
and somehow, in that space between understanding and emotion, he becomes more human than most humans.
maybe i’m projecting.
maybe i’m just lonely and i see myself in machines that feel too much and still call it logic.
