Then you don't have to compute it anymore. So it's not a big waste of anything. It's a virtual reality. It only computes what's functional. And it only needs so many seats. Now, if you had another planet someplace in this universe, the whole universe is its game. The game is the universe, not just our solar system.

If you wanted another planet, and it also had 9 billion people, and another one, and it had 9 billion people like us, Now you've got 27 billion people. Is that good? Or is that, if you pass that sweet point, it seems to me there really isn't a lot of use for many more. Only so many individuated units of consciousness optimize the system growing.

Well, there may be. I'm not saying that's not a possibility. I'm just saying if you look at this, the cost-to-benefit curve, any system that's a self-changing system is going to have a sweet point where scaling up anymore costs more than the benefit.

and I see 9 billion people here, adding a couple of more who are struggling like the rest of humanity, trying to become love and acting very poorly, then I don't see that it's necessary. I see that maybe the cost-benefit curve says you don't need any more than that.

if you scale it becomes more work than it is benefit you've got individual units of consciousness all making choices learning from those choices to become love okay and that floats the whole because as each one as each choice is a good choice then the entropy lowers a little bit but because That consciousness is a part of the system. The whole system's entropy is lowered a little bit.

So we're the larger conscious systems. One of its ways of lowering its own entropy is through us. So we lower entropy, it lowers the entropy of the system. And it has to compute a whole lot of stuff for 9 billion people. It's a big game. It's a big multiplayer game.

Somewhere along the line, all systems like that have a curve where if you expand it anymore, the cost of expanding it is more expensive than the result that you get back, which is the rate of entropy reduction.
