They just need to replicate and be smart – then in the darwinian process those that replicate the most will win and take over.

This seems to be an assertion of a mystical belief rather than a scientific truth. I’m not setting out to refute mysticism, but I personally am not a mystic and this argument doesn’t resonate with me. (I’m not sure it’s consistent either – why couldn’t this property of the universe be captured artificially? But I’ll let the mystics fight that one out.)

Regardless of this, some of the ideas and conclusions are thought-provoking. The movement towards Meta-Individuals is an interesting and important question – my view of the ultimate form that it might take, or how far down this path we can go, might be different to Nova Spivack’s, but many of the same steps might apply, regardless of worldview.
