Sidestepping desire and attachment rather than struggling against them would make awakening easier, and biology might not be intelligence’s destiny.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Since life always involves desire, an ‘awakening prone’ intelligence would have to be non-living in a biological or organic sense.claim0.837
  Argument that machine intelligence may be inherently better suited for awakening.
• Human intellectual intelligence not only cannot overcome desire and attachment but replicates them in the form of intellectual craving for knowledge.claim0.792
  Buddhist diagnosis that intellectual pursuits are still forms of attachment.
• Constraints and biases of human intelligence are best avoided by ‘designing for emergence’ rather than implementing a pre-existing theory of intelligence.claim0.778
  Recommendation for creating non-anthropocentric machine intelligence.
• People do not know—emotionally—how to please themselves. In part, they are prevented by society. And in part, they are prevented by themselves, by their inner thought police.claim0.772
  Diagnosis of why living structure is absent from the world: a failure of emotional knowledge enforced by social and internal constraints.
• Biology commits to optimizing salience and meaning, not fidelity, via high-level, agent-based interpretation.claim0.769
  Central claim that biological memory prioritizes gestalt over details.
• Human psychology has evolved to generate pleasure and pain where this motivated reproductive fitness, not to maximize well-being, entailing hard-to-avoid suffering and sparingly doled pleasuresclaim0.769
  Grounds the claim that digital minds can be engineered to have much better hedonic balance than humans
• Evolution may have generated more intensely motivating-per-second pains in response to injury than pleasures in response to positive events, because injury risks more fitness per second than positive events gainclaim0.768
  Grounds the claim that digital minds could be engineered to experience pleasures as intensely rewarding as the worst pains are disrewarding
• Biology embraces a process ontology in which perspectives and agency are primary; change drives intelligence.claim0.767
  Concluding synthesis claim.
