Reframes fear of replacement as a failure of identity maturity

claim

The boundary between Self and World is not fixed and can change between generations and within a lifetime — this plasticity is fundamental to life's ability to survive, adapt, and exist as chimeric forms.
supports
Core biological claim about the plasticity of self-models, grounding the broader philosophical argument about identity and change

Recent AI advances are revolutionary but far from recapitulating human-like cognitive abilities or consciousness.claim0.810
Many recent discussions of AI, and its impact on individuals and on society, are importantly incomplete because they neglect Diverse Intelligence, synthetic morphology, and developmental biology.claim0.800
Central thesis of the paper — the framing premise from which all other arguments follow
AI can be seen to display care of its own, and is hence not a mere tool for the expression of human care.claim0.794
Ethical conclusion about the status of AI.
In the coming decades, humanity will be confronted by hybrid beings — humans with engineered brain prosthetics, persons in drastically modified bodies, engineered autonomous beings with human cells, and many other new forms — making current ethical frameworks inadequate.hypothesis0.793
Predictive claim about the near-term emergence of a spectrum of hybrid beings that will shatter current categories
In this loop, humans and technology both contribute as agents, and their capacity for care and intelligence can be observed and tracked by focusing on the transfers of their stresses.quote0.792
Describes the dual SCI loop perspective.
