Not seeing how that works.

Has anyone read God's Debris?

I haven't but I found this podcast with two [cosplaying] AI discussing the book.

I think they had a real AI extract the essence of the book and put it in the description:
Quote:
Levels of Awareness in God's Debris
The sources describe five levels of awareness that all humans experience throughout their lives:
● Level One: This level begins at birth, when an individual first becomes aware of their own existence.
● Level Two: In this level, individuals understand that other people exist. They believe most of what they are told by authority figures and accept the belief system in which they are raised.
● Level Three: At this level, people recognize that humans are often wrong about what they believe. They understand they might be wrong about some of their own beliefs but don't know which ones. Despite their doubts, they still find comfort in their beliefs.
● Level Four: Skepticism. People in this level believe the scientific method is the best measure of truth. They believe they have a good working understanding of truth thanks to science, their logic, and their senses. They can also be arrogant when dealing with people in levels two and three.
● Level Five: The Avatar. Avatars understand the mind is an illusion generator, not a window to reality. They recognize science as a belief system, though a useful one. They are also aware of God's power as expressed in probability and the inevitable recombination of God's consciousness.
I would compare and contrast Adams'es (or is it Adams'?) five levels of awareness with Timothy Leary's eight circuit brain. Adams collapses Leary's four extraterrestrial circuits into 'Avatar'.
