I guess my assumption is that increased intelligence should bring with it increased self-awareness.
If it doesn't, then... well... like I said elsewhere in the thread... put that on your list of potential depressing answers to the Fermi paradox.
- JulianMorrison 12y agoYour mistake is assuming that self awareness is sufficient. "To know" is separated from "to choose to act" by preference, and preference is based on goals, and the ultimate, root level goals of a being are not likely to be something it wants to rewrite, even if it has the ability, any more than you'd willingly take a pill to become inhuman.
