I'm excited to explore the variance or degrees of sentience, but, you know, we come to this philosophical understanding and trying to answer the seemingly impossible question of why any organization of matter would have an experience of itself, which is, you know, famously kind of noted as the hard problem. And so why is the hard problem especially hard as opposed to easy problems?

Yeah, so you would say then it's impossible to have conclusive evidence that an organism or life would have consciousness looking from the outside.

I think of the scene in Interstellar where Matthew Kahne is like floating in this fifth dimensional library space and there's like this metaphysical property of love that connects him to experience in the world. And it's just an interesting thought experiment.

I've heard you talk to how, you know, as humans we have three channels of color, with red, green, and blue. The mantis shrimp has 10, 11, or more channels of color. What is that experience like?

Yeah, it really seems like the parable of the blind men and the elephant where blind men come and touch the tail of the elephant, think it's a whip. Another touches the leg, thinks it's a tree trunk. Another touches the trunk of the elephant and thinks it's a snake. Another touches the belly, thinks it's the wall.
