And Life 3.0, which does not exist yet, can replace not only its software the way we can, but also its hardware.

And that's where we're heading towards at high speed.

We're already maybe 2.1, because we can put in...

an artificial knee, pacemaker, et cetera, et cetera.

It was more...

Typical human.

And the higher up you get from 1.0 to 2.0 to 3.0, the more you become the captain of your own ship, the master of your own destiny, and the less you become a slave to whatever evolution gave you, right?

By upgrading our software, we can be so different from previous generations and even from our parents, much more so than even a bacterium, you know, no offense to them.

And if you can also swap out your hardware and take any physical form you want, of course, really the sky's the limit.

Yeah, and I think it's worth...

commenting a bit on what you means in this context also if you swap things out a lot right now this is controversial but my current understanding is that that you know life is best thought of not as a bag of meat or even a bag of
