this is a pretty cool idea actually... if we just spent some time manipulating their chemical reward systems such that their amoeboid population densities opened and closed circuits on a piano key we could make them produce music. and i think the transference of this pattern would be enough to imbue them with the fire of thought! they would seek to control their collective amoeboid destiny! their will to be would drive them to express themselves, they would form an amoeboid super structure, spelling in english letters: "s e n d n u d e s". And AI is born.
