Interesting thoughts Sergei So which is it? Is the self aware conscious being a byproduct of the nerve activity of the brain that will fade away at death or is the self aware being a separate life form and the body just a physical avatar used to play the game. Or better yet is the whole universe from bodies up to galaxies just a mock up, a simulation that is produced from our agreed upon postulates that it is there in order to create the field we play games in and if the beings all leave the mockup will fade away to nothing, that is cease to exist?
If the beings create the bodies by postulate then how is an Artificial Intelligent being even possible. The scientists can creat a robot but a self aware being will have to decide it would be interesting to play games with it and move in.
