[Hermit 3] How we developed these abilities is far less important than the fact that they exist. I consider the arguments that psychadelics were a prerequisite to neurological development as dubious, and probably unproveable, although the development of self-aware AI may provide serious obstacles to this theory.
[Hermit 3] PS "psychedelics" not "psychadelics"
[Zphobic 4] Sorry, but I found this terribly amusing.
[Hermit 5] Now that you mention it, so do I :-) Amusing and embarrassing. The fates extracting retribution with a veritable farrago of errors on my part. As an explanation, not an excuse (there is none possible), I originally had the funny spelling in quotes, and then decided that it was unworthy and removed it, adding the PS instead - but sometime around then was distracted and completely missed proofing and correcting my submission before pressing send.
[Hermit 5] I’d suggest the following revisions:How we developed these abilities is far less important than the fact that they exist. I consider the argument that psychedelics were a prerequisite to neurological development dubious and probably unprovable, and would add that the development of self-aware AI (without the use of hallucinogenic drugs, except possibly by the programmers) may provide serious obstacles to this theory.
Kind Regards
Hermit
