Notes to self:
Future useless addressed the themes of willpower and over-specialization as well as homogenization.
Future Sentience /Useless Sentience (working titles) will cover the themes of free will, parenthood, family and sentience itself. What qualifies each of these items as real? Can a being with no free will be truly sentient? Does free will give a being sentinence? Can sentience be simple self-awareness or have diffent levels of sentience like Manny and Moe? Is a dog more sentient than a pocket nano due to free will? Where does creativity fall in these guidelines?
Also, family and parentage are subjects to be examined. What qualifies one as a parent, sibling or child to another? Is it defined in the genisis of the being or in their definition of the terms and their meaning? Do clones have parents? What are their roles to their offspring and responsabilities?
Useless Lineage/ Future Xenogenesis (working title)
The themes in this book carry on from the first but then push at the boundry of what constitutes a separate species and a new race among galactic civilizations? When do dirivitives of one race stop being dirivitives and become their own form of life?
Will check back on this later, but wanted to put these down before I forgot.
