Had the thought before. I think it's self delusion to think this would be true unless we think of humans being designed/modified machines and dreams/meditation are the console.

Well, FWIW, I think one of the straightforward but mind-blowing implications of Levin et. al.'s work is that living organisms are designed, by them themselves.

Cells think.

There's no a prior reason (I can see) to disallow that humans and other multicellular life forms are the "art" of microbes. (We are Solaris) It seems to me that we are the products of intelligent design, not (necessarily) of the intelligence of God, but of the intelligence of the biosphere itself.
