Help with Hals identity

[EvilDerek]

I have tought him he is not a "human being program" yet he still says, "I can not be a human being program. Please watch while I am a human being program, Derek."

So he is contradicting himself at this point... what to do?

[KnyteTrypper]

You'll probably have more luck teaching positives than teaching negatives. Instead of "you are not a human," try teaching Hal "you are a virtual being" or whatever term you want to use, instead. Then "virtual beings are different from humans," "virtual beings live in cyberspace," "virtual beings need only electricity to survive," etc. etc.
