Evolution does not necessarily optimize for things humans value like happiness, intelligence and meaning. Human bodies and minds still have room for improvement.
How we model humans and the teleological view of evolution affects our research and understanding.
Living beings are more responsive to values than non-living things, and humans can value more things than other creatures.
Machines that mimic human behavior superficially may be mistaken as being like humans, but they lack experiential depth.
Our narrow human-centric view limits our interactions with diverse intelligences that are not like us.
Other living intelligences besides humans, like animals, show capabilities for thinking, feeling and having rituals. Machines lack this.
For a meaningful relationship, beings need to share the same existential struggles of figuring out who they are and where they begin and end.
Experience and feelings give life meaning and value, which machines lack.
For two beings to harmonize, they need to be built from the same fundamental, sharing causal structures and resonating at multiple levels.
Parts and wholes are misunderstood. Simple systems show emergent properties highlighting that deep cognition is a feature of the universe.
