The tech-sector optimization obsession assumes intelligence is what you get when you scale better. Biology has been running the same experiment for half a billion years and converged on few stake-concentrated coordinator cells doing continuous architectural quality-control, not distributed redundancy. Substantia nigra dopaminergic, locus coeruleus noradrenergic, basal forebrain cholinergic. Whether AI ends up at the same architecture or finds a different one is what Morgan's right to say we need to cultivate taste about, before the question gets answered for us.
