And so the original life is happening again right now on this planet in the technosphere with the way that our planet is undergoing another transition, just like at the original life when geochemistry transitioned to biology, which is the global. For me, it was a planetary scale transition. It was a multi-scale thing that happened from the scale of chemistry all the way to planetary cycles.

It's happening now all the way from individual humans to the internet, which is a global technology and all the other things. Like there's this multi-scale process that's happening and transitioning us globally. And it is really like, it's a dramatic transition. It's happening really fast. And we're living in it.

I don't really like the Kardashev scale. And it goes back to like, I don't like a lot of the narratives about life because they're very like, you know, survival of the fittest, energy consuming, this, that, and the other thing. It's very like, I don't know, sort of old world, you know, like conqueror mentality.

I mean, I think it does require life to use new energy sources in order to expand the way it is. So that part's accurate. But I think this sort of process of life being the mechanism that the universe creatively expresses itself, generates novelty, explores the space of the possible, is really the thing that's most deeply intrinsic to life.

And so, you know, these sort of energy-consuming scales of technology I think is missing the sort of actual feature that's most prominent about any alien life that we might find, which is that it's literally⦠our universe, our reality, trying to creatively express itself and trying to find out what can exist and trying to make it exist.
