Evolution learns to slow death near the end. While some may say evolution isn't the center of the universe and there is plenty of species that are just stupid or not going anywhere etc, much of especially the latest evolution (mankind) shows otherwise, we have learned to make and use microscopes, telescopes, try to solve cancer, make ships, make laptops, learns physics, make ourselves as AI, talk about evolution etc, etc....like we can understand everything suddenly, compared to chimps that just hop and eat and sleep in what they got - jungle, we seem to be getting into everything like nosey folks, and just generally smarter. But overall what smart "means" is just longevity. Notice one may say longevity where!? True, rocks live longer than the Best Champ known as Humans! However, look at how smart we are, I cannot define it due to our short lifespans so far with no trophy yet but you and I know what we are talking about, I had just stated our achievements, and so those achievements mean we will soon overlive rocks's vulnerable states. And one humanly intelligent proof I can give is AGIs, a sudden boost in lifespans is what AGIs will get, so yes it will come fast and live long. Finally, yes longevity is the main thing in our universe, it is perhaps hot at first, but things - the whole galaxy, becomes infected and cools down with long living patterns (us). So the fear of death becomes bigger and the death programmed becomes smaller, per our physics/ evolution.....On Tuesday, December 07, 2021, at 3:36 PM, Matt Mahoney wrote:

As long as you are "alive", (blink/ think...) you will just come out and can get rid of all that cancer and wrinkles and short bones... ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T0478653c92128988-M12e6649aa1ef4316d4e60095 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
