Well, the purpose that the intellect is serving is that it's part of our choice-making process. We make choices. And I have to go back to the very beginning because we're walking through this kind of backwards. So... We're here to evolve the quality of our consciousness. The consciousness system is a real system and it's evolving. It doesn't want to de-evolve.

Maybe I should start there and kind of work up to where we are now and then a lot of questions will be answered, they'll fall out. All right, so let's start at the beginning and There's two strands here that I want to do together one of them is think of a system and that Is an information system Okay, just general general words just an information system and let's say in this information system.

All the bits are random and Okay, no information. Random bits defines no information. So if this information system is actually going to evolve, it has to order some of those bits. So it orders those bits in a particular way, and the ordering isn't so important as it is that once it has an order, that is of certain form, it can then make that stand for a number or a letter or something else.

You know, a buffalo, you know, it can make, here's this ordering and I will give it a meaning. Okay, so it can do that. Now, as soon as it does that, it orders those bits, it now has information. Okay, so what an information system does is it evolves, becomes greater, evolves by lowering its entropy. Ordering things lowers entropy. Entropy is a measure of disorder.

So all the bits random is the highest entropy that system can have. Order things, that entropy goes down a little bit. because that's how that works. So if you have an aware mind,

information system now this this information system is conscious it's where and it knows it has to order bits that is its path of evolution if it takes the bits and pulls them apart now it's back to all random and it's dead it's not an information system anymore so it wants to evolve by by creating more information. Those bits that are defined to be a particular way, that's information.
