Things like intelligence explosions in our lineage in the hominins and in cetaceans, and in bats and in a variety of other species are exactly this kind of runaway modeling of others resulting in, growth of brains and growth of of groups and and therefore that, you know, when we think about the growth of advanced intelligence, you know, in in in, you know, human societies or human brains, it's it's really that same sort of of symbiotic process happening at a much at a much higher level.

I think that the origin of matter and the origin of life might actually be 1 and the same thing and evolution might actually be the answer to that question but it's an evolution that includes a term that Darwin did not account for in his original formulation.

You know, they might simplify, they might get more complex, it doesn't matter. But with symbiogenesis, we know that things get more complex because if a can replicate itself and and survive into the future and b can replicate itself and survive into the future, when they come together, you suddenly need a to replicate itself and b to replicate itself and there's some additional information that has been added, which is how the 2 fit together.

You know, you you put 2 things together, you now have a you have something more complex than the parts. And and if if this if this idea that symbiosis or symbiogenesis is is an essential part of evolution is correct, then you absolutely get more sophisticated things coming about later in evolution because they're being put together from pre existing parts.

You know, you might once in a while see 1 bite somewhere change. But, after a few million interactions, something apparently magical happens, which is that, suddenly the entropy of the soup drops dramatically, so it goes from being incompressible because it's all random bytes to being very highly compressible and programs emerge on those tapes.
