Ya, just like atoms right? we'll just stop using atoms, cause you know
that's old school.
So simple!, we can put it all in a periodic table,
everything there is to know about them is done.
Time to move onto better stuff.
I hope you recognize I'm demonstrating your argument through analogy.
If you listen to Doug Hofstadter, he says all thinking is based on analogy.
Anyway, I don't think I am saying anything particularly controversial here.
We are close relatives of slugs - and they only recently crawled out of the
ocean.
We're the most primitive creatures that could get civilization going. We are
about a million light years from being optimal creatures. Our angelic
descendants
will have different genetic substrates, and differently-constructed phenotypes -
they will be made of different stuff.
