When Matter Turns Into Mind: The Vision of Cosmic‑Scale Computation
In this episode we explore how an advanced civilization might convert planetary bodies into computational substrate, examine the Kardashev scale in that context, and weigh what it would mean for consciousness to arise on engineered matter. We also consider thermodynamic limits, substrate independence, and ethical questions around mass‑scale mind creation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
