Seriously downvotes? Lol. Terrible configuration and what a way to silence. At this point I’ll take my thoughts elsewhere. Enjoy your echo chamber.

Just wait until you can’t tell the difference and then contemplate if it matters, and then if that’s what reality already is.

Almost as if thoughts and reality are of the same thing.

Maybe already has...

How do we know this isn’t already happening with state actors?

Shows you where the role of a meme and a shit poster may exist in a cosmological technological hierarchy. Humans are just rendering notes replicating memes, man. /s in the dude voice from big Lebowski.

What if reality is basically a slightly more advanced form of This? Thoughts are generative finite infinite potentials and reality is the render. Interesting.

How can we define what "capable of consciousness" is? As we become a species closer to exploring the vast cosmos, we have to be humble in our assumptions of what consciousness or life is. It's quite a Copernicus error to think that humanity is the center of relative consciousness to compare against. What consciousness is may be entirely incommensurable - which would be a serious error in our discovery of what else exists in the universe.

There's a lot of wisdom in Star Trek: TNG, and it feels more prudent than ever to contemplate these lessons as we near the point of becoming space faring species.

Can you expand on that? What you're saying sounds interesting but it's vague or ambiguous.

Why is this downvoted?

This is an odd form of cross species slavery. It’s one thing to agree to the conditions and another to force it upon life.

This... has a lot to contemplate. Service dogs don’t agree but there is an essence of joy there. Can you feel a clams emotions? I guess at this point you get close to the contemplation of plant life.

There’s one thing to kill life and use it for food and then another to use it as a test for poison. There’s probably more nuances. I’m not taking a stance that any of these things are wrong. I am however trying to make sense of the consequences of these pieces of the architecture of life that we participate in.

How is it possible to improve for this situation?
