And I am starting to put maybe wrongfully two and two together, but in my mind,

And of course, it's nothing until I can prove it.

But in my mind, the universe is connected everywhere in all different places.

So this life connection is something that, as you said, permeate the universe.

And the way to find life is

might be very different than to look for the origins of life.

I think it's a good thing to go out there and look for the origin of life somewhere else, because it's the manifestation of the nature of life that all of a sudden becomes apparent, evident to our eye.

But what I think...

would be our greatest achievement is that if we can find that process of life, because at that point, in my mind, the universe all of a sudden is going to illuminate itself with actually its living force, what I can only call a living force.

To me, this is what we are looking at, a universe that becomes more and more complex with time,

more and more able to gather information.

And interestingly enough, why?

To understand itself.

So Sagan was right when he was saying, we are the universe trying to understand itself.

And the more we go, the more the universe become alive, maybe intelligent, and maybe also conscious.

At this point in time, remember, it was beyond AI, right?

You know, I'm not buying in the singularity thing yet.

AI is not aware.

AI is being built by humans.

So AI is a tool, an extremely smart tool.
