| The Landscape of Possible IntelligencesWe can distinguish several categories of elementary minds in relation to bootstrapping:
1) A mind capable of imagining, or identifying a greater mind.
2) A mind capable of imaging but incapable of designing a greater mind.
3) A mind capable of designing a greater mind.
We fit the first criteria, but it is unclear whether we are of the second or third type of mind. There is also a fourth type, which follows the third:
4) A mind capable of generating a greater mind which in turn itself creates a greater mind, and so on. |
