@NM_Wilkinson @jamessseattle @WiringTheBrain @petemandik This has quite radical implications, if you think about it. Self-manufacture needs to be present *before* Darwinian evolution can take place. I've written about this here: https://t.co/04jIPz1yrw.
@NM_Wilkinson @jamessseattle @WiringTheBrain @petemandik A self-manufacturing system (eg bacterium) *is* able to set and pursue its own intrinsic goals. The bacterium can thus do something no algorithm will ever be able to do. It may've evolved automatisms
@jamessseattle @WiringTheBrain @petemandik I disagree. You can also evolve to recognize that something. No cognition required. But agency is required for that kind of evolution too: https://t.co/04jIPz1yrw.
