There is no “best” idea, there are only “better” ones.

Sentience is Logical Recursion
We are the self-replicating logic of logical self-replication itself, repetition with refinement and variation.
Encoding Culture
A logic of communication is stored in material artefacts and its expression and distributed embodiment in culture evolves over time.
Art as Encoded Message
Information encoding for message transmission is a function expressed in (and as) visual culture and which evolves over time.
Cosmic Self-Discovery and Barbie Dolls
In this painting of the “human Barbie doll”, Swiss artist Stefania Pinsone reflects the self-conscious self-replication of culture, self and art itself. The painting is titled “Valeria Lukyanova (white noise)”.
Self-Replication
Self-replication. Surely this is what life is all about.
Ideological turbulence, media distrust, fake news and the hyper-inflating bias towards successfully self-propagating inflammatory rhetoric in (or as) social media is one instance of a broader principle through which life and intelligence negotiate and harness or exploit entropy in information and energy processing systems.
A logic of self-organisation, information-pattern replication and complexity appears at every inflection of discovery to reveal itself as some kind of explanatory “master key”.
An Autonomous Science ?
The unfolding patterns, exploratory revelations and emergent complexity of Artificial Intelligence may not ultimately reveal itself to be as useful to us as we (and all our aspirations) turn out to be to it.
Cultural and cognitive information systems (and the individuals they inhabit) are implicitly oriented towards the systemic self-replication of patterned complexity.
The Self-Replicating Logic of Life
Life is notoriously difficult to pin down and unambiguously define.
Systems-theoretical analyses of human conflict suggest that it may be an inevitable error or fault in the self-replication of those complex patterns of information and energy that we recognise as society, technology and historical metamorphosis.
