What’s that part of planecrash where it talks about how most worlds are either all brute unthinking matter, or full of thinking superintelligence, and worlds that are like ours in-between are rare?
I tried both Gemini Research and Deep Research and they couldn’t find it, I don’t want to reread the whole thing.
Look across the superclusters, and most entities either don’t do natural-number arithmetic at all, like stars and rocks; or they do it perfectly up to the limits of bounded cognition, like galaxy-spanning superintelligences. If there’s anything odd about humans, it’s the way that humans are only halfway finished being sucked into attractors like that.
