if we are meat machines (robotics and biotechnology, maybe) then it means we're not made to be free, but to serve a specific purpose of the creators. why would they hide it from the masses? leonardo da vinci was studying human body as the 'perfect machine' for certain purpose

You’re right, even if we’re just flesh and bone and have no purpose beyond this life, we still exist and there must be a reason for it. Perhaps we’re just a form of entertainment for some higher beings? We might just be some simulation they watch for fun.

>we’re just flesh and bone
the body is made of flesh and bone
you are not

And what makes you believe this? What evidence do you have?

it's not a belief, it's knowledge
knowledge is not something you acquire through 'evidence', that's a word that's reserved for whatever is empirical, allowing you to update your Bayesian inference probabilities by using 'evidence' to adjust your 'beliefs'
knowledge on the other hand is acquired through the use of reason, the only way of ascertaining metaphysical truth
the fact that you are not your body is something that anyone can easily understand through rigorous application of reason

You are not able to use reason to come to a metaphysical conclusion; your reason has been tainted with cope if that is the case.
