As far as we know this is one, possibly the first & only, attempt the Universe has made to establish consciousness within a race of beings. We started as a merely colony, but now we’re building empires.
So, test it out, experiment, but try and remember there are moral prejoratives we all need to obey in order to live & leave peaceably. I don’t mind SZ, because what it is essentially doing is weeding out negative probabilities and establishing positive outcomes. This happens a greater deal in dream-states, too.
Me, personally, I believe I am an important tester. I evaluate lots of things and give concrete opinions - be it aesthetics in nature, taste, or feels of mood & body. I believe in a God, too, because it greatly enhances my consciousness and grounds me in a feeling about my presence in reality.
