DV: "Hell is other autonomous agents? Or could it be more one's awareness of the insidious gnawing persistent illusion of their autonomy? The bird in the school and the fish in the flock have to live with such an existential nausea. Yet they have to effectively treat their fellows as autonomous in order for the collective strategies to work. Perhaps they have evolved away that awareness in the service of warding off predators more effectively. Is it still there in some form, just beneath the surface, waiting for the Emperor to exploit? Hmmm, there's a paper in there somewhere."
