Does that make them indifferent to their own health? This analogy is very far off from feeding your cat from a machine. Feeding a cat is 1. giving it food 2. bonding and establishing a relationship 3. chance to check on cat's well being. People can talk and tell someone if they are unwell.

Having an automatic thermostat is being indifferent to the climate.

In the old days we'd shovel coal into the furnace. We were in tune with nature.
