Like this use of flavors, the same as you meant when you were talking about flavors of alien life.

Yeah. But we were talking about in terms of colors and like very nondescript. But the way that you just talked about flavors now is more in like the space of consciousness and intelligence. It was kind of like much more specific.

Depending on what you want to explain, as I was saying before, you have to assume something's fundamental. And so because people can't explain consciousness, there's a temptation for some people to want to take consciousness as fundamental and assume everything else is derived out of that. And then you get some people that want to assume consciousness preceded life.

And I don't find either of those views particularly illuminating. Because I don't want to assume a feminology before I explain a thing. And so what I've tried really hard to do is not assume that I think life is anything.

Except hold on to sort of the patterns and structures that seem to be the sort of consistent ways that we talk about this thing and then try to build a physics that describes that. And I think that's a really different approach than saying, you know, consciousness is this thing, you know, we all feel and experience about things.

I would want to understand the regularities associated with that and build a deeper structure underneath that and build into it. I wouldn't want to assume that thing and that I understand that thing, which is usually how I see people talk about it.
