Reality is the brick wall your nose goes "splat" on when your perception is faulty and you believe that there is no brick wall there. < We only have perception. What is reality?> Faulty perception can also involve the belief that something is there which isn't, which also results in a "splat". For example a faulty belief that there is a God what will save you if you jump out of an aircraft at 10,000 feet without a parachute. The question is answered with a "splat". Evolution over millions of years has eliminated such faulty perceptions so we now have fairly powerful brains which do a better job that those who got "splat" for an answer to their faulty perceptions. The job is obviously far from finished. Because the wet chemistry version of intelligence and consciousness is so limited and problematic, it's now being superseded by extra-somatic silicon and gallium, trillions of transducers, megamiles of optical fibre and twisted pairs of copper, enhanced with petapixels of phragmented photons in wireless realms. Quantum computing can test a vast range of degrees of freedom in a short time, coming up with non-splat answers and better solutions to reiterate in the next process. Humans are hopeless - we get a random combo deal of our parental dna then have 70 years to see if the combination was worth retesting in the next generation. 70 years for a single test. Absolutely hopeless. Extrasomatically, testing can be done terabytes at a time with good answers being replicated in seconds rather than centuries. Humans have had their day. Chimps were comparable to people half a million years ago, but people superseded them. Similarly, some humans still thought at the dawn of the 21st century that Deep Blue was lucky against Gary Kasparov. They still misunderstand the situation and think "Yes, but that was only because people told the computer what to do." which is just a self-referential merry go round. Mqurice
