A technological worldview that recognizes only what can be quantified will inevitably treat life as secondary. What cannot be measured becomes negotiable. What cannot be optimized becomes inefficient. This need not arise from somebody's malice intent; it emerges naturally from technology's abstraction.

"Concern for man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors… in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind.” — Albert Einstein

Wonder why did you choose this picture to illustrate the post?

Whether consciousness is something that can ever be produced by a single person at all, rather than merely mirrored, or represented in the terms such as

"this is not FROM me, it came THROUGH me" ???

"Wonder why did you choose this picture to illustrate the post?"

it represented a reverse image search as linked in the caption

"this is not FROM me, it came THROUGH me" ???

I search for a smashed mirror and then foudnone and wondered where it came from

It is good that you found none. You don't have to see in order to know.

Smashed mirror has nothing to do with what makes us human. We are not just mirrored copies of each other.

What makes us human is the ability to make a conscious choice.Between good and evil at least.
