Nah I maintain "Survive and replicate" is a sub-problem in the larger "Perfect ones' Soul" objective function.

What is a "soul"? I can define "survive and replicate" for you, on the other hand.

<rant>This exemplifies the issue I have with current day philosophy. It's too blissfully unaware of the discoveries in AI. While they redefine consciousness the 1000th time, the AI researchers make "Reinforcement Learning Agents" that play Go, drive cars, paint, draw and can take a pizza order from you. Philosophers, get more concrete.</>
