And I find that kind of beautiful because they've probably figured out the metagame of the universe in some way, potentially.
They're doing something completely beyond our imagination.
And they don't interact with simple chemical life forms.
Like, why would you do that?
So I find those kinds of ideas compelling.
Well, it's probably puzzle solving in the universe.
They will appear inert to us, as in...
They will behave in some very strange way to us because they're beyond... They're playing the metagame.
And the metagame is probably, say, arranging quantum mechanical systems in some very weird ways to extract infinite energy, solve the digital expansion of pi to whatever amount.
They will build their own little fusion reactors or something crazy.
They're doing something beyond comprehension and not understandable to us and actually brilliant under the hood.
We're just kind of like these particles in the wave that I feel like is mostly deterministic and takes a universe from some kind of a Big Bang to some kind of a super intelligent replicator
some kind of a stable point in the universe, given these laws of physics.
I think it's deterministic.
Oh, there's tons of... Well, I want to be careful with randomness.
Pseudo-random?
Yeah, I don't like random.
I think maybe the laws of physics are deterministic.
Yeah, I think they're deterministic.
Yeah, I think it's unsettling.
