I wonder if anyone has contributed, to this particlar thread, the notion that
George Dyson (Darwin among the Machines) has that we are they. In the sense
that the "qualia" part of nature is useful for a machine to survive and
evolve? In other words, we are they, and they are we. Call it a Gestalt
notion of humanity, a humanityu that adds machine capability, a silicon
intelligence that adds human sensibilities. One is less without the other.
