1.I am thinking about extropy as a *physical* phenomena, a
possible state of a determined subset of the universe, still
independent of the existence of life, that would appear "after". So
it would be anterior, existencially speaking, to even the
"intelligence" effect... Nevertheless, are you speaking about
intelligence just when normally considered, as a characteristic of
already structured organisms, or are you using a more abrangent
definition of intelligence, like, f. ex., gravity, which exists under
certain physical conditions, independently and even before the
existence of life (as we usually conceive..)?
2. For me, there is no counciousness without life ? (Unless we
consider - and prove...- that counciousness is transtemporal...)
