A lovely conversation with npub1jujruq5uy4v8h3qqlvsclysgf6h7c58jdp6y7cfm3pndhrwgslysqxgd95 (npub1juj…gd95) made me aware of Plato's Allegory of the Cave, and from that the analogy of the divided line.
It looks like this:
A—B—C—D——E
"(AC) is generally taken as representing the visible world and (CE) as representing the intelligible world”
If you think of it as a process (the evolution of mind) sapience would emerge between C and D. D is also a point that inevitably leads to E (the ability to think about why we exist)
