sam harris seems to say
that the root of human problems
is the self

any item which can receive messages, compute and respond
only has or becomes a self rather than a slave/instrument
when it is equipped with directive programmes


a robot or computer which simply carries out orders
is without the self that sam harris refers to 
but once it is given directive/goal/motivation/activation programmes...
...things which it is programmed to  seek/want/desire...
...it begins to have a self

​the recent conference on general artificial intelligence,
(GAI) in south america
​named ​'Beneficial AI'
which elon musk invited sam harris to...
...dealt with the threat of GAI
​if GAI is deliberately or inadvertently given a directive programme
then we have basically given it what humans call emotions
it will make judgements about its situation
the situation will accord with the programme
or it will not 
just like our dualistic view of good/bad
hopefully GAI will have programmes better modulated than ours
so that basic rights and shared contentment for humans
as well as care for environment are ensured
  
the directive programme of humans is emotion
this is what enables the self
 the same applies to dogs and other animals. 
as we progress down the phyla,
the complexity  of self declines
a fruit fly can remember and make decisions based on its memory
because it has a directive programme
it seeks the preferable and avoids the opposite
 humans glorify their directive programme somewhat
with the word emotion

but for all the glorification... 
...we pay little attention 
​and have little understanding
of emotions...
...​our basic directive programme
