Michael Glew claims that "mind is a product of brain" and that the
amount of mind is directly proportional to the size of the brain.
Assuming he's correct in this ultimate cartesian fantasy -- then if
I lived in a TL14 universe, I'd pay nearly everything I owned to get
"uploaded" into a *BIG* computer - one wiht say (brain)^3 connections.
Then I could grow beyond human bounds in thought and reason, and never
look back.
Since not only has no one done this in MT, _no species has_. Not even
the ancients did this. There must be some reason. It might be because
the argument is faulty (in game terms - not real life, we don't know
that yet). It might be because there is some quantum effect with Si
that prevents that many interconnections. It might be because _my_
logic is flawed.

The thing about the number 2, like pi and e, giving it such power is that
it is part of a small, conspiratorial, cabal of universal constants that
control everything.
