By "design a new mind", do you mean evolve a new mind using genetic
algorithms? If so, why would that be easier to untangle? Also, why
must the naturally evolved mind be completely untangled rather than
just the interfaces? And why can't the naturally evolved mind be
uploaded and evolved further using genetic algorithms - a starting
point for the GA?
