or more like the

information processing?

Today's computers if

there's any consciousness at all

probably something pretty simple

and pretty unintelligent, some

background flicker of bits.

Male 1:
You are seriously

getting on my nerves here.

Dumb ass.

Male 2:
You're hilarious.

Male 1:
Hey. Hey! Hey!

Male 2:
What did you see?

Male 1:
Here p*ssy, p*ssy,

p*ssy. Here p*ssy, p*ssy.

Male 2:
Oh, there he is.

Male 1:
It's our lucky day.

Handyman:
Are you guys

looking for me?

Male 1:
This place is a real

shithole, you know that?

Male 1:
Seriously, what

do you even do in here?

Male 2:

Handyman:
I fix

things.

Male 1:
Shut up, right there.

What is that stuff, huh?

Handyman:
Waste. It's waste.

Male 2:
Whose waste?

Is that your waste?

Is that miss kitty's waste?

Handyman:
No.

Male 1:
Eat it.

Handyman:
What? No.

Male 1:
Eat it!

Come on.

You heard the man.

Why don't you just

eat miss kitty's waste?

Why are you doing this?

Eat it.

Ow!

I said eat it!

Male 2:
Hey dude, check it out.

Handyman:
No. Wait.

Male 1:
Hold it.

Handyman:
No, no!

Oh, look at this.

Handyman:
Don't worry.

Male 2:
What the hell is this?

Oh, man. Jackpot.

Male 1:
Are you serious?

Hell yeah, I'm serious.

This is awesome.

Male 1:
You're crazy man.

Male 2:
Can't say no, can it?

Okay, man, but you first.

Suit yourself.

You can have my sloppy seconds.

Male 1:
Oh, that's gross.

Ooh. Got a little fight in it.

I don't think it likes

this very much.

Come on girl. Open up.

Male 2:
Hey! Hey man.

Wait, wait, let me

explain. Wait. No.

Voiceover:
We need a couple

of really big breakthroughs

to get to our

theory of consciousness.

We might be right now

where the ancient greeks were

in the study of matter

or where descartes was

in thinking about biology.

We hadn't had, Newton

hadn't come along yet,

or Darwin hadn't come along yet.

As computers become

more intelligent than us

they'll be processing

information in more integrated,

more creative ways.

It's even possible

they'll move to degrees

or levels of consciousness

that we can't even conceive of.

I don't see why there

shouldn't be this kind of

brain computer interface

that may well have

the effect of

extending ourselves.

There's nothing

magic about the skull

as the boundary of the person.

That's not where the mind stops

and the rest of

the world begins.

Maybe from a god's

eye point of view,

space, time and consciousness

are all bound up

at a more fundamental level,

but for now nobody

knows the answer

to that question.
