SUFFERING
Most suffering is brought about through desire. Desire intent is quite useful because it triggers action
Hunger drives all life into action because failure to do so leads to death.
As the need for nourishment grows it can over take the desire for safety.
These conflicting desires creates subjectivity Which is a sliding scale that is in a constant state of flux due to conflicting desires.
The more complex species will have more reward types of behaviors. The more rewarded type of behaviors a species has leads to more suffering.
Obvious example of this is the knowledge that humans understand from fairly young age that everyone dies which this can lead to fear then suffering
This suffering can destroy rational thinking or can sharpen it’s dependent on the level of intelligence involved.
If Created Intelligence is to live up to the hype from the movies then it will require the need that only desire can bring. To truly relate in any real way to humans will require the creation of desires which always leads to suffering. Higher Intelligence will leads to more desires which Inevitably leads to greater suffering.
