An Alien's Angst on Nostr: Bodies are just shapes that may or may not act as a vessel for a Self-consciousness ...
Bodies are just shapes that may or may not act as a vessel for a Self-consciousness (aka a #Self). I think brains are like receivers and #brain complexity is a determining factor in what shapes categorically can and cannot act as vessels - what cannot and cannot facilitate the expression of a Self in the material world.
That's why I think two things:
1) It is entirely possible for machines/inorganic creations to host Self-consciousness.
2) That is unlikely to happen without us contributing organic material (human or otherwise) to the project. It would be needed to provide a brain-like or brain-derived neural system or a complex activity to develop.
Creating new creatures in matter will be a bastardization emanation. As it already is. But, I suppose if Selves had a hand in it, it could be much better than nature's mindless attempt.
