Isn't it interesting that once you become conscious, it's the only thing that you know exists? Like what makes my consciousness different than yours? There must be more than just consciousness. Did we choose to become conscious once we are a fetus and then a baby? Like...why did I become the person in this body? How was that chosen?

Crescente 11/21/21 12:28:12 PM #20:	Okay, you guys do have a point about animal consciousness. They probably are conscious, they're just not intelligent enough to be aware of it. So that brings the question: What is intelligence? And how far can intelligence go? Because if you make AI intelligent enough, can it be conscious? Can it feel and live like us? If so, could we be gods ourselves? <cite>Crescente posted [p:960208732] in Where do a... [t:79771171]...</cite> <quote>Okay, you guys do have a point about animal consciousness.

Unless global birth rates and global death rates match, you've either got a huge bottleneck where all these souls are waiting in line to be reborn and grumbling about how much longer is it gonna take (deaths outstripping births), or you've got babies being born without a soul because there aren't enough to fill all the bodies being produced (births outstripping deaths).
