“Sure, its happening to everything,” answered Jethro. “I know the physics too. The variations of string theory. The so-called God particle. The Eastern epistemological conjectures. You can call it whatever you want. But if its not sentient like I am right now, then what use is it? Especially to me, Jethro Knights, the transhumanist. Im interested in how to create the strongest and most advanced ‘I’ that Im capable of in my universe. That means my will, my memories, my value system , my emotions, my creativity, my reasoning— my consciousness— all fusing together through a prism of sapient action that makes a conversation like this possible and worthwhile. Thats what I want. Everything else is just inanimate. Just space-taking furniture. Just fairy tales in our mind because we dont want to face the truth that someday were going to die and disappear, and all will be for naught. We all think that. All of us know that. Just some of us believe were too important to allow that to happen.” - Zoltan Istvan
