I didn’t say “produced”, I said “control”. Parachutes, like the other items listed, operate through the properties of mindless atoms. But people trust parachutes anyway.
Poppycock. Parachutes work whether produced by reason or not. There’s absolutely no reason why a parachute produced entirely by machine wouldn’t work, parachutes “produced by reason” often do not work, and here’s a device not intended as a parachute that works as one anyway.
Your ‘reasoning’ leads to the conclusion that one cannot walk across a natural stone bridge or use a tree branch as a swing support because they weren’t produced by reason and so weren’t imbued with those functions. That’s ridiculous.
