Hi IlDiavolo, it's always good to share ideas with you.
Ok.
So as I see it:
We are, self propelled organic computers.
And awareness is also the ability to respond to incoming signals.
And the point I always make, is that sophisticated computers have been evolving for less that 100 years...So don't rule anything out.
Organic species have been evolving for millions of years.
When we are unconscious we do not respond to incoming signals.
Which isn't to say that the unit and it's survival systems does not continue to function subconsciously.
So the GOD game makes sense.
But as I see it the GOD principle might have a greater purpose at the end of a Universes life.
Sort of, the accumulation of all necessary knowledge, that enables the re-initiation of a new universal sequence.
Otherwise, just existing for the sake of conscious experiences seems a tad futile.
I think that the greatest challenge for mankind and/or it's successors is taking Earth's intelligence beyond this solar system.
And I personally think that everything is nature.
