My response was mostly a parallel narrative, my thinking on a personal
level is when does a system of components transcend the boudaries of
automata and begin to engage in the operations of intent. Where does
gene fitness adaptation break loose into something perceiving,
interacting, understanding and mastering? I have heard that our ability
to reflect and interact on an intimate level arises from a strange
neurological mechanism called mirror neurons. If this is something like
the virtualization technologies we have been building in technology then
with a bit more scale and pondering our science may make the leap
logarithmically.

I see this sometimes too Andrew, and we learn how our internal systems
and culture drive and shape us, so we can create. We model from the
simplest sensory stimuli on to reflections on the nature of our
existence and what could be in a simultaneous simulation of reality.
Our world can be full of intent, or I should say we experience it thus
due to our capacity arising from our nature and drawing parables in
the mist. It makes me wonder how many levels of abstraction,
simulation and foresight are necessary to represent the human element.
That minds like ours are derived from nature is astonishing and awe
inspiring, that we reach so far and yet innocence is so fragile, the
experience of awareness is far from today's science I think. Our
synthetic counterparts or robots will have to wait.

Perhaps we are born into a world filled with negative aspects rather
than positive aspects so as to give us a direction. We are born small
so that we can grow. We are born ignorant so that we could know. We
are born with negative aspects so that we could acquire positive ones.

Why do so many of us remember negative feelings easier than
positive ones. Pain over pleasure. Bad news over good news. Why
does "bad" overshadow "good", immorality over morality, despair
over hope, pessimism over optimism. Why does hate appear to be
more powerful than love? Why is greed louder than generosity. Why
is destruction of war so much faster than the building power of
peace. Why can one little lie destroy a lifetime of trust. Why are
lies more influential than truth. It all seems so one sided. Why
is that?
