I don't understand this.

Can you explain why emotion might be exclusive to biological minds?

I'd be prepared to bet that you can't.

Is this a manifestation of the "soulless machines" meme?

When/if i become post-biological, i plan to have mucho mas soul, 
emotion, whatever you want to call it, than any biologically-based mind.
