The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

In any event, reflective self-awareness – consciousness, if you will – seems an inevitable eventuality amidst boundlessly evolving proliferation within infinite possibilities.

If you mean by that that it is a product of complexity, that is becoming (or has become) the dominant thinking. There's been a lot of work on the inevitability of complexity arising (some really good NOVA programs talk about it). And consciousness/self-awareness seems to fall out of increasing complexity of a brain.

But this is tangential, unless you want to reference the movie "The Forbin Project", or "The Terminator" (Skynet). Which are both good movies, IMO.
