I don't think it would ever be nice that consciousness and first person become otiose.
You could say that one day the machines will be able to do our jobs and the humans
will become otiose.
And on other forums I do say that. :-)

Let us destroy completely the atmosphere of this planet, this will be excellent for the
artificial reality and artificial body vendor business.
I would prefer earth to become the home of the non-comp people, and their carbonic
fetishes.
A museum of the ancient life style.
The comp people are those who will leave the planet and explore the galaxy, infinity and
beyond :)
Right. I hope that we are just a step in an evolution that can spread beyond Earth - but
leaving Earth for us and our fellow carbon based life forms.
