Is Your Mind Just A Parasite On Your Physical Body? What if intelligence can thrive without consciousness? Key TakeawaysBlindsight is a unique kind of first-contact novel. Its focus is not on humanity's first meeting with an alien civilization, but rather that this civilization is highly intelligent, yet lacks consciousness.What if there is nothing special about self-awareness? What if it is just evolutionary dead weight, bound to disappear soon?The idea rests on machine metaphors for life and mind, which strike this columnist as profoundly mistaken.
