summary
- a trans-disciplinary attempt to develop a framework to deal with a diversity of emerging non-traditional intelligence from new bio-engineered species to AI based on the Buddhist conception of care and compassion for the other.
- very thought-provoking and some of the explanations and comparisons to evolution actually help to cast a new light on old Buddhist ideas.
- this is a trans-disciplinary paper synthesizing Buddhist concepts with evolutionary biology

paraphrase
- sense of self is a construct
- a psychological and social construct
- it's not something that infants are born with
- it's actually something that develops as we grow up
- our caregivers look into our eyes
- give us a name that we learned to identify with and
- also basically we learn to see ourselves as they see us
- we internalize that which is why we are so preoccupied with what other people think about
- we learned to use language in certain
ways
- mine
- you
- yours
- his
- hers and so forth
- that's all very essential to it
- so we could say that the sense of self is being a construct
- it's composed of mostly habitual ways of
- thinking
- feeling
- acting
- reacting
- remembering
- planning and
- tending
- it's the way that these mostly habitual processes work together re-enforce each other
- but does that give us insight into what the fundamental problem is?
- I think it does and here's what it is as I understand it
- because the sense of self is a construct
- because it doesn't refer it
- doesn't depend on it
- doesn't point back to a real self that has any self-reality or or self-identity
- because the sense of self is a construct
-
this sense of self by virtue of its lack of essence is inherently uncomfortable
- we can say it's basically inherently insecure
- in fact it's not only insecure but it's insecurable

comment
- question
- I agree with David's analysis but also have a question for him:
- what about the biological, evolutionary definition of the self of a living organism. Is there a contradiction here?
- reference
- Major Evolutionary Transitions occur when a group of individuated living organisms achieve greater fitness by mutualism and begin to reproduce together as a new unit
- How do we harmonize the claim of a psychologically constructed self with this evolutionary formation of new biological SELF units through MET?
